    Having to pay for the hotel car parking was a bit cheeky in my opinion but maybe that’s typical in Norway. We had a bathtub in our room with a shower head on the wall and the water went absolutely everywhere when using the shower and flooded the bathroom (it wasn’t intended to be a wet room as far as I’m aware) and the water was scalding hot. The burgers in the new restaurant were overpriced and underwhelming.

    Great location right on the dock. We managed to use one of the electric car chargers in the car park which was v handy. The staff were lovely and squeezed us in for dinner in the burger restaurant late in the evening. The view from the room and from both the restaurants was great.

    All was ok. Despite the amazing views outside it felt rather dark and the huge turnover of those staying meant that it lacked atmosphere. The dinner (a buffet) was very expensive but we were so grateful since out travel had been very delayed and it was still serving at 9pm.

    The bed was not comfortable at all.. In the junior suite for 4 people the sofa bed is really bad, it hurts because you can feel all the metallic structure of the bed...

    Perfect localization The 2 restaurants and the buffet for the morning are really really good : it was the best part of this hôtel ! Incredible ! The hotel staff was very nice

    Very nice but quite expensive. Cruise ship passengers a minus

    This hotel was very, very expensive, so while every was quite nice, it was not especially good value for the money. The small town where it is located also gets cruise ships docking nearby, and becomes inundated. Look up the cruise docking schedules, and choose nights for your stay when no ship is scheduled.

    Very scenic location, and a great train ride to Flam on the famous Flam railway. I strongly recommend renting bicycles and riding them up towards the waterfalls on the service road that parallels the train tracks - that was a highlight.

    Stayed in a historic room - bit shabby with a few bulbs missing and curtains come off hooks. Felt inauthentically historic as just had a jumble of old furniture. Weird shower above roll top bath that totally flooded the floor. Had to pay for parking.

    Great location near station and fjord. Good breakfast. Comfy bed. Friendly staff

    The weather was warm so the bedding was a bit heavy.

    The location was fantastic. Stunning views. The room was comfortable. The breakfast was delicious with lots of options. Ate dinner at both restaurants and had drinks and coffee at the bar. Three stories with large glass windows offered fabulous views every time we ate. Staff were knowledgeable and friendly.

    Check-in not until 4pm. Asked about reservations for dinner and was told it wasn't possible - went to dinner early (when it was empty) and was told off for not making a reservation. All the other staff were very welcoming and helpful. Incredibly expensive hotel for what you get, but you have very few options in Flåm so they can charge what they want. Proper shampoo/conditioner in the bathroom would be a basic addition for the price.

    Very convenient location, beautiful views from the room. Ability to store bags. Most of the staff very helpful and welcoming. Spotless room and comfy bed.
