Nice hotel located very close to the fjord cruises. A few good dining options nearby if you don’t want to eat at the hotel restaurant. Everything in Flam is a bit expensive as it’s a tourist spot. But a beautiful location to visit, and a lovely hotel to stay in.

My stay was wonderful! The hotel's location near the train station and cruise dock was ideal. Friendly staff, delicious breakfast, and a quiet, dark room ensured a restful stay. The only drawback was the lack of bedside power outlets.

The property is warm and comforting. The lounge was restful and offered some lovely scenery. The staff were helpful and friendly. The moss on the outside decks should be cleaned as well as the hallway carpets!!! The food was okay but not great. But overall we enjoyed our stay.

The bed was so comfortable with the cleanest sheets. The included breakfast was excellent! It is expensive because of the location, but a good option for an overnight stay. We stayed in the family room and it was quite spacious and looked like the pictures.
Half of the family room. Another full bed in another large space around the corner.
A very short walk from the train station. Beautiful location.

If you’re coming to Flåm then you MUST stay at the Fretheim Hotel! Breakfast is included and feels like a 5 star dining experience. Every outdoor excursion and dining is steps away. The rooms are clean, soft beds, and the views spectacular!
