Wonderful location and staff. We were able to walk from the train and around the area. Breakfast was out of this world. The staff assisted us in booking a taxi. We loved looking through the historic part of the hotel.

Ashley United States of America

The location is great and the room was spacious and clean.

Adel Kuwait

Beautiful room with fjord and mountain views. There was a large variety at breakfast. The staff were very professional at handling other difficult and rude clients. Kudos to them. Super close to the Flamsbana railway departure and other shops. The only hotel which acknowledged that it was our honeymoon and surprised us with a bottle of Norwegian cider in the room.
