Unbelievable views in a fairytale town.
I couldn’t recommend this hotel more. Great food, cute room, friendly staff, and the most convenient location to enjoy the wonders that Flam has to offer.
I’d recommend this stay to anyone.
Flam is well-worth a visit!

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).

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.

While this hotel is in the most amazing location and the staff very helpful, my “superior” room was certainly not that. The room did have a good view but was very compact and basic. I hit my head twice on the ceiling due to the design of the room and I was woken both mornings by a very loud lady on the phone at 6am in the next room. Due to the thin walls I could hear everything she was saying. I must say I was expecting more. No welcome gift or room upgrade here. Having said that the breakfast buffet that was included was very good.
