First of all, wow, Flam is amazing. I've been here before, but never stayed over. This time, I decided to take a little more time, enjoy the wake up experience to one of Europe's most spectacular views. The hotel is full of history dating back to the late 1800's when the Brits first stayed over and I stayed in the... More

The hotel is perfectly located for a leasure stay. The interior brings you back to old Norway in every detail delivering a unique experience. Rooms are clean and quite. Breakfast offers a wide variety of food. There is a viewpoint on the roof providing a scenic view to a fjord. Free parking is next to the hotel. Staff is very... More

I wasn't expecting much from flam, but it turned out to be a fine place to stay. The flamsbana train arrives and departs from flam. The ferry, which is an excellent way to see the fjords in may when there are fewer visitors, departs from flam. Our stay at the fretheim hotel was very pleasant. The bathroom was large by... More

Lovely hotel with 2 sections - the newer portion is in the process of final renovations now. The historic portion has been restored. Had we known the historic portion was available, we would have stayed there. The newer portion has a junior suite, which is where we were the first night. However, it is advertised as a "king" bed and... More

The Fretheim hotel is a nice comfortable hotel in a great location, near to the ferry and train station, and of course with great views. We had a very comfortable stay and have no complaints at all. Everything is very clean and the staff are friendly and efficient. We would stay again. More

We actually have not had the opportunity to stay at this hotel. We booked in October, 2011 for a stay in February, 2012 while on a 3 week trip to Norway. We prepaid for the hotel through Orbitz. We were abruptly notified at the end of November that we were being moved to a different (and lower rated) hotel "at... More

This is a costlier hotel but if you consider that it includes breakfast and how expensive meals cost in Norway, then its pretty good value. Hotel itself is decent, clean and comfortable. The toliet comes with a tub which we never got to use anyway. The town is so small, anywhere is a good location! The room's heater control is... More

We stayed in Flam overnight to break-up our Norway in a Nutshell trip from Bergen to Oslo. There are only a few hotel options in Flam. I chose the Fretheim because it was the only one available, and I think we got the last room. It was a bit expensive, but it was well worth it to be only steps... More

The hotel has nice rooms that are clean and simple (albeit a bit small). Flam is a beautiful little town offering lots of souvenir shops and the opportunity to hike, kayak and go boating (the Fjord Safari was a fun experience). The hotel served delicious food at the breakfast buffet (try the lamb sausage and the brown goat cheese made... More
