There aren't many accommodation options in the area, so this hotel has few competitors. The rooms are a little old-style, but the location is amazing and nothing beats the view of the Fjord from the lobby or from the dining room. The restaurant is pretty expensive so if you have other options - consider them seriously...

Since we were not on a fixed itinerary we had not made reservations ahead of time, but we were warmly welcomed when we arrived at the reception and with a quick swipe of the credit card we had our key in hand. The room was large and comfortable, and had a balocny with a pretty view of the harbour. The... More

We had a great stay at this historic hotel located only a few meters from the train station but I'll start by mentioning the exceptional level of hospitality we received: We needed to take our child to see a doctor (the nearest clinic is 9km away in Aurland) so Alex at reception not only made the appointment but also arranged...

My husband and I stayed two nights at the Fretheim Hotel. The location cannot be beat. Flam is a beautiful, but tiny town, nestled between the mountains and along the fjord. Room The room was great. After walking miles and miles each day of our trip, the bathtub was so amazing for soaking weary legs and feet. It was nice... More

Our tour had booked us into the Fretheim at Flam. Flam doesnt have too many hotels (it actually doesnt have too many of anything - people, shops, noise, houses!) - the Fretheim is rated to be the best there. We stayed here only for a night, but hoped we could have stayed longer. Flam, though now world-famous as a top... More

This hotel is very nice. I loved the little alcove in my room and it looked right out onto Flam and the scenery. The hotel is right by the railway and and there are lots of little shops handy for souvenirs.

Flam is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been to. Very calm, silent, romantic. It has got serene beauty. This hotel is also a wonderful place to stay there. Very clean, nice and friendly staff, good breakfast. Beautiful collection of flowers in the garden. They have bicycles to go for a ride. Small but cute rooms facing... More

Why do hotels offer top floors, bay windows and then don't give you the best view? Using temporary staff results in less than optimum service or a big ignore in the bar. Great setting but rooms can be better.

We stayed here for two nights in June. Great room--large and comfortable.Excellent bed. Wonderful food--buffet style with lots of choices. We would stay here again should we return to Flåm. Only problem was no WIFI in the room. We needed to go to a special spot in the lobby to get on the Internet and check our email.
