Sognefjord / NIN Overnight Stays

Looking for some advice on Norway in a Nutshell (Oslo --> Bergen) overnight stays that would permit exploration of Sognefjord. We are traveling in late August/early Sept 2025. Originally our plan was to stay in Balestrand at the Kviknes Hotel for 3 days/2 nights, but there are no rooms available for our dates.

Does anyone have any thoughts on either other hotels in Balestrand OR staying in Aurland, Flam, Solvorn as an alternative? We are 3 adults of mixed ages looking for a home base for easy to moderate hikes and experiencing fjords via ferry. Ideally we were hoping to avoid renting a car.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

I stayed in Flam overnight - it was much nicer after the cruise ships departed. For your group an apartment at Flam Marina might fit the bill, the apartment I stayed in had bunk beds in one room and a full in another. But it's possibly already fully booked too, very popular time of year.
