    Unfortunately there was major rail track by noisy heavy machinery until midnight. Unlucky. Dinner cost was 225 Norwegian kron.

    Iconic location along Flam train track. Beautiful natural surroundings including remnant snow patches on the mountains and waterfalls from snow melt.

    Amazing Mountain Hotel...

    Very minor things: 1) Curtains are not light proof. 2) You need to walk a little bit (beautiful short hike) if you are reaching myrdal at odd hours. This is a problem for ppl with heavy luggage.

    Given the location on top of mountain this hotel has all the basic things u need for a pleasant stay. Even if something needful is not there in room, just ask for it and hotel will arrange it. Must stay here for a night or two and enjoy every around.

    The location is so special, unique and very quiet. We stayed here by chance because we couldn’t get accommodation in Flam, and we were SO glad. The hike around the lakes was so beautiful, and you can also bike around very easily. The restaurant served a wonderful dinner and breakfast (both buffet). All the staff were also SO wonderful, helpful and friendly.

    Setting of bathroom was strange: Bathtub with shower standing next to the walls but disconnected, so when showering it was unavoidable not to flood the bathroom

    Great location next to Flamsbana station; perfect place to relax in quietness; very kind staff; liked the general atmosphere in the hotel

    Bad location. No one helps u at night even they said they will be there for check-in. You called many times but no one picks up the phone. Trap reservation options of non-refundable rooms. Very bad traffic conditions. There is no service level in my mind. The low light of our Norway travel.

    There was nothing I didn't like about this hotel.

    I was getting down in Myrdral around 9:30PM, Flam railway, which is the only way to get to the hotels had no service at this time. The manager of the train that I was travelling contacted the hotel, and the hotel sent me one of the staff members with a luggage carrier to pick me. All my friends in England said that it is something exceptional way of treating a customer. Staff was so very friendly and also helpful. The view from the hotel is amazing, and unbelievable. Breakfast is so delicious with home made bread and porridge, and also locally produced jams.

    Bathroom was very small. Noisy during the night as they are doing some sort of local construction of a bridge over the railway line… they worked all night.

    Interesting place to stay. Has an historic feel to it. Nice easy walking around it.

    all was perfect!

    A cosy accommodation on a unique isolated location! A very cosy place with stylish interior from the past. The room was simple, but as expected. We had delicious breakfast and a very fine dinner buffet on Independence Day May 17th. Very friendly staff. The location is only accessible by train, but that makes it even more unique. We walked 1,5 km down from Myrdal train station and that was very do-able. The Flåmbanen train stop is also right in front of the hotel. The nature is beautiful out there. The lake was still frozen and covered by snow in mid May. -3 in the morning. The Rallarvegen bike/hike path and zip line are at 100m.

    This is not related to the hotel itself, but apart from going down to Flåm, there are not that many opportunities to hike here. The mountains limit the space where you can move around. That being said, you can still easily walk to the Myrdal station and take the train to Finse and the hotel makes you feel like being part of nature, with great views from the hotel rooms.

    An exceptional hotel in the midst of a beautiful scenery. The hotel itself is very well furnished, the lobby especially makes you feel like being part of an old novel.
