Nice hotel with character. Beautiful views from our room. Great breakfast (choice of numerous fish, cheese, meats including some unusual stuff like cured lamb). Very close to the train station, all the activities, and ferry.

Breakfast is gorgeous. Booked dinner and surprised it was a buffet. Room is in back corner dark hallway next to the service room but still charging for over $400. Nothing fancy in the room.

Bed bugs! Stay anywhere but here!
Bed bugs. No toiletries. No AC. Expensive parking that NA based phones cannot charge their rental cars with which the front desk does not tell you. The rooms have no phones, working tvs, refs, body soap or conditioner. The staff is not friendly at all and bordering on rude. Not good, far too expensive. Stay anywhere but here!!! Do not waste your money like I did!!

Don’t stay here
I had live bugs in my bed, we heard every move the people above us made, you had to pay for parking, the front desk staff wasn’t so friendly, there is no AC. It is far too expensive for what you get.

This hotel was unbelievably convenient if you are doing the Norway in a Nutshell. It is steps from the Flam railway and also steps from the boat for the Fjord tour from Flam to Gudvangen. There are also souvenir and clothing shops right there and the Flam visitor center. If you are not driving there are not many options so its also VERY expensive. But for us it was worth the convenience. We ate dinner at the hotel next door - which was very good - so i cannot comment on dinner but the breakfast was good and in a very nice room overlooking the fjord. The room was old fashioned but had lots of character and was very spacious and comfortable with a great bed and bedding. The bathroom was large with a great shower/bathtub and lots of counterspace. We also had a balcony which was cute with a nice view but not very private as there were people on the terrace just below us. Try and get a view facing the fjord from the back of the hotel.

Its very expensive hotel for cheap and ugly outdated rooms. No tissue paper in bathroom (essential toiletries were not in bathroom) no iron for clothes no security box. For $400 a night room terribly expensive. Would NOT recommend it at all. Staff unfriendly
