We are now back from an amazing trip to Norway. We stayed at the hotels that I noted when I planned the trip last year. We spent 1 night at each one other than Storfjord where we spent two nights. Juvet Landscape was by far the high point. I wish we had spent two nights there. What a stunning place. Having said that, I'll add my cautions to others that you travel in Norway for the extraordinary views, not for luxurious hotels. The beauty is too much for the eye to absorb and the brain to remember. In that way, it reminds me of our travels in the south island of New Zealand - beauty every minute of the drive.

Let me do my part in setting expectations about hotels. There isn't a great deal of choice. In many cases, they are closed several months a year as they get snowed in or the tourists peter out. We chose the right ones for us, as they were at the right point to break the day's drive. Each offered character and great views.

• No TV
• No in room phones (I mentioned at one property they should consider using WhatsAp for the front desk. We were two flights up with no elevator when we discovered the lack of shampoo in the room. It would have been nice to have a way to reach an employee.)
• No washcloths. It used to be this way in the UK but for many years, hotels have provided washcloths. They didn't in Norway.
• No elevators with few exceptions
• No porters, though staff is cheerful about carrying suitcases up those flights of steps once you make it inside
• No room service
• No evening turndown
• Many non Norwegian employees
• 3 or 4 course evening meals offered at a reasonably sophisticated level. No choice so should check by mid afternoon to see if there is a food you don't/won't/prefer not to eat. It's fortunate that the hotels offer meals as there is a great dearth of local restaurants. There often was no local alternative to the hotel.
• No customer service other than Storfjord where the staff were exceptionally helpful
• Excellent internet
