10/10 Exceptional

Lovely old hotel with lots of history which was beautiful to stay in. We had a loft room with a lovely bay window to look out across the town as the snow came down. The bed was wonderfully comfortable. The only area that could do with some love was the bathroom which felt a bit tired. Breakfast had lots of variety, including some traditional Norweigian options. Overall a lovely place to stay and I would recommend, it was also great to slow down on the journey from Oslo to Bergen and spend time in Flam

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Eliza, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

8/10 Very good

Great location and breakfast. The bathroom was smelly, with a sewage smell coming out of the floor drain. It was not terrible, but considering the price pony of the hotel, there should have been no smell.
