Welcoming staff and nice restaurant. Limited other facilities . We had a double room and the bed was quite small - too small by most current hotel standards
the hotel was lovely. The rooms we nice and we had a nice view. The bed was quite narrow but fine for short time.
take your time to walk around and up stairs to find little cosy view points.
Excellent staff who were warm & friendly, amazing food & comfy beds!!!! What an amazing setting 😎😎

The location is very close to the fjord cruise and Flam Railway starting points. The communal areas were nice but the room was tired with a small double bed. No choice of bedding the heavy duvet was far too hot even with the window open (in March).
Comfortable and silent hotel!The buffet breakfast is delicious and the staff are friendly and helpful.

Staff couldn't have been friendlier. Snow and slush meant we had to walk through 5cm deep water/slush to get to the hotel from the railway and the fjord terminal. But food for dinner and breaksfat was excellent
Great room with a view over the village. Unfortunately being January and -3° we were unable to sit out and make the most of it. Reception staff were very friendly and helpful, our evening meal in the restaurant was outstanding. Breakfast buffet was probably the best we have ever had.
This is our second time staying at this hotel - it is a great choice when in Flåm. The breakfast is fantastic, with many options. The views from the hotel are beautiful, and the staff friendly.
