The hotel was nice. Did not like the bathroom, old rationed with sink with no counter space, it had old claw foot tub that there was no way to take a shower without flooding the floor since shower curtain didn’t go around the whole thing. Expensive hotel but still paid a lot to park and to top it off if you wanted to charge an electric car in the lot you had to buy some $20 card the hotel sells you to be able to use the charging if you are not from Scandinavia. Seemed like a money grab to me.

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.

Their dining room closes at 9pm! The last Flam train gets in at 8:49 and so it is a rush to try and get to the dining - a buffet. They should extend the hours by 15 or 30 minutes and also serve a La carte especially for vegetarian guests. Their buffet is meat and fish heavy. Their breakfast buffet is also meat and fish heavy. Few hot dish options for vegetarian guests.

While the included breakfast was superior as was the view of the fjord from the restaurant, we had higher expectations for our room. The size wasn’t ideal for three adults and there wasn’t much of a view. The decor bordered on charming yet dated. The hotel’s proximity to the railway station and cruise ship ports, while convenient, made the location very touristy.
