The location was perfect, observation tower was nice. Good breakfast, plenty of choices.

Excellent breakfast buffet, with wide choice of food. Very good coffee. Comfortable seating with a great view of the harbor area. Friendly and attentive staff. Our hotel room was spotlessly clean -- a real plus.

Revjc, United States of America

Not many choices in Flam but this one is definitely beyond my expectation Very big and old style room (in a good way) compaed with other hotels I've stayed in Norway Very friendly staff helped us find the local bus stations and restaurants; he actually helped double checked the timetable to make sure we can catch the right bus Very good dinner buffet at the hotel restaurant

The breakfast buffet offered a lot of variety and great local foods. We also had dinner, and that buffet was also excellent.

Too pricey for the overall experience. Woken at 6:30am by the noises from cleaning other rooms next door. Try to avoid rooms on the second floor and onwards as they are next to the dinning area. Charging for kids (extra guest fees), even if they sleep in the same bed with their parents.
Receptionists were nice and polite, breakfast not bad.

“Nice location but overpriced for the rooms”

The hotel was in the middle of renovations and it showed. There was no parking except on a public site which was busy so we had to go elsewhere and return later. Our room was next to a renovated area which made ours look old and unloved. The curtains did not meet properly and were stained. the shower leaked under the door,
The hotel looked good from the outside and the breakfast included local produce.

Disappointing
- • Leisure trip

- • Stayed 1 night

We had to unexpectedly travel with our young children through Norway. Both kids sleep in our bed. Out of all the 7 hotels we stayed at, this was the only one that had a problem with that. We checked in with our kids, got to our room, and immediatelly got interrupted by the staff, saying that due to security reasons they could not allow more than three people per room, unless I paid an additional 450 NOK for an extra bed. Afterwards we were told, that we had to pay for a more expensive room in the hotel. Of course, they refused to refund our money. Speaking direclty to the manager was even worse than dealing with the staff. We ended up having to pay an additional 450 NOK fee to be “upgraded” to a larger room that we didn’t need / wanted. All of this on mother’s day. Additionally, the hotel front was under construction, which meant carrying heavy luggage over rocks and rough terrain. Also, he bathtub was slippery as if it hadn’t been cleaned in a while. It was a nightmare. Not recommended.
The location was good, but there are other options with similar location.

Breakfast was really good. We also ate an evening meal there and I was happy but not all were. Those who dine there need to enjoy traditional Norwegian food as these are really few alternatives.
This was a great treat. The view and access to the fjord services was the best.

It's the most we have paid in Norway for a hotel yet it was the smallest most basic room. 5 star prices with 3 star rooms. We had to ask for heating to be switched on by going to the lobby in person as there is no phone in the room.
The restaurant was great for dinner, surprising given the level of the rooms.

First of all we booked and paid for a room with a balcony, unfortunately there was no balcony. We were asked to provide a credit card for security at check-in, we precisely asked if it was going to be charged prior to checkout as we wanted to use a different account to make the payment. We were told that it was just for security and will not be charged, 5 minutes later I had a notification on my account saying that I was charged for the full amount. When I inquired about this the staff said it was just a hold on that amount and I had not been charged. The next morning upon checkout we paid our bill in full and we're told the other funds would be released in 7 days. A hold on funds of credit cards do not take 7 days to release, I feel this was a straight out lie. After two weeks I called them to ask why my funds have not been returned to me, at this point they were unable to advise me but sent an email later saying that their accounts department had made a mistake and Would reimburse me as fast as possible. It's been almost a month and I still haven't been reimbursed I will have to get my bank to retrieve the funds for me which will take an additional 45 days, in the meantime I'm being charged interest on that amount and have included additional fees as a direct result.
It was clean and presented well
