Great location with amazing view. The hotel needs to be revamped as it very tired. The rooms need to be better appointed. There was no facial tissues and the bath tubs with showers were bordering on dangerous to get in and out. The restaurant needs ta better more modern menu with a lot more vegetarian options.

Nice room, comfortable but small bed! Room was not especially large but bathroom was a nice size with lovely heated floors! Breakfast was excellent. Beautiful, convenient location and a gorgeous historic hotel. Would definitely stay again if I return to Flåm.

Front desk people were helpful. Dining room staff (both dining rooms) were mixed. Some were helpful and some much less so. The public areas and dining rooms were beautiful. Our room, which we upgraded to have a balcony, was surprisingly spartan. No safe, no room phone, no refrigerator, no lotion or hair conditioner. A single liquid soap for hands, body and shampoo. Room needed some TLC with a split in the upholstered bed frame, door jams beat up, a big black mark in the tub. The tub/shower was dangerous with a big step up and over (tub on some sort of lifted base), and then getting out from the slippery porcelain at an end that was sloped was precarious and we are fit people. The view of the fjord was stunning, but the room is more like a dorm room and needs updates. Plugs to charge electronics are found only at the baseboard level. The 3rd floor dining room food was very well prepared and delicious. The buffet breakfast had many options, but hot items were not tasty. Would have liked some nondairy milk options for cereal, coffee and tea.

Nice hotel located very close to the fjord cruises. A few good dining options nearby if you don’t want to eat at the hotel restaurant. Everything in Flam is a bit expensive as it’s a tourist spot. But a beautiful location to visit, and a lovely hotel to stay in.

The hotel was nice. Did not like the bathroom, old rationed with sink with no counter space, it had old claw foot tub that there was no way to take a shower without flooding the floor since shower curtain didn’t go around the whole thing. Expensive hotel but still paid a lot to park and to top it off if you wanted to charge an electric car in the lot you had to buy some $20 card the hotel sells you to be able to use the charging if you are not from Scandinavia. Seemed like a money grab to me.

The property is warm and comforting. The lounge was restful and offered some lovely scenery. The staff were helpful and friendly. The moss on the outside decks should be cleaned as well as the hallway carpets!!! The food was okay but not great. But overall we enjoyed our stay.

My stay was wonderful! The hotel's location near the train station and cruise dock was ideal. Friendly staff, delicious breakfast, and a quiet, dark room ensured a restful stay. The only drawback was the lack of bedside power outlets.
