About the neighborhood

Located in Flåm, Fretheim Hotel is in the historical district and by the sea.

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

Nice location. Rooms and esp common areas are very dated and could use some upkeep. Carpet in common hall ways e.g. needs to be heavily cleaned or replaced. The room charges are high and we expect that for a tourist area but also expect rooms and common areas to be kept Better. Food was good although pricing of dinner buffet was very high. Taking it down in price would set better with guests already paying a high fee for the room

The hotel itself is great, right by the boat and train and it is charming. But be warned - they tell you that the only dinner option is a buffet but they don’t post how much it is. And it is $80 USD per person! Definitely not worth it, although there are few dining options in Flåm. After dinner we were given a bill with multiple tip options- the only place I have seen that in Norway. So a charming hotel but you feel scammed with the dining.

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.
