Olden Fjordhotel

Unfortunately this hotel has seen better days. I’m getting the feeling the owners try to just profit without actually giving a good product. The rooms were dated, dirty and falling apart. Clearly cleaning isn’t being looked after since we found plenty of dirt along the walls and under the bed. So it’s visible and surface area cleaning only. Mind you we had two different rooms since we found glass on the floor in quite big pieces in our first one and with our 2 year old that’s a hazard. Luckily the young woman at the desk was nice and service minded and we were able to get another room. She was nice, though we had another experience with another woman that was less pleasant. So it seems hit and miss. Balconies were falling apart and you had to wear shoes since the tiles were falling apart and there was a realistic danger of pinching your feet. Good view and close proximity to the town nearby.

The hotel is in need of serious renovation. Our room was not very clean, the toilet was leaking, and several things seemed worn out or broken. For a 4-star property, it was disappointing not to have even basic amenities like a kettle in the room. A very unpleasant experience, everything felt like it was falling apart. 2 stars just for the view from the window, but is it worth it…

Location is 5/5 but hotel is 3/5 at the most. Details are below: A great location overlooking the Olden fjord. The view from the rooms is stunning with beautiful scenery. There is a free car parking available. The location is about 5 minutes from Leon town allowing access to the required main services. As far as the hotel, the property is not in the best shape where the bathroom had clogged sink and the exhaust fan was not working. The service was also below average where our request to correct both problems was honored for clearing the sink but not to fix the fan. Also, the shower had no glass wall causing spillage of water. The buffet breakfast was very limited in food choices. The EV charging at the parking was not working.
