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.

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!

Avoid this place. Overpriced. Super dated (sure, historical elements, but I am talking about very dated bathroom and room), not well maintained. Dinner buffet is super pricey NOK 745 (approx US$ 75) per person! WiFi is terrible. Service is well below par.

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.

We made dinner reservations at 8:30 pm but our train was very delayed. It was nice that the hotel extended their dinner for us so we were able to eat. The dinner was buffet-style and the food could be grabbed until 9:00 pm regularly but was extended to 9:30 pm due to our transportation issues. The room was comfortable and had a nice view of the fjord (note there are some small buildings that obstruct the view slightly). Great breakfast buffet included. Would recommend this hotel but plan your arrival/dinner accordingly.

The reception staff were abrupt. Although we paid at the property they refuse to gives us an invoice. We arrived on the afternoon train, the windows of the room were opened so we did not noticed the unpleasant smell in the room. We left the luggage and went out on an excursion then for diner and a walk. It was late in the night when we returned and went stright to bed, the smell was so bad that woke me up. I mention this to the reception person the next morning and he reply that there had been complains about the smell in that room from previous guests but had not been able to fix it yet. We should never had been given the room if they knew it had an unplesant smell. The exorbitant price for the room is certainly not worth it. The staff in the dining room were plesant and cordial. I would never go to that hotel agin, nor recommend it to anyone.
