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.

Choice in the centre of Flan is limited, this hotel is tired and in some need of modernisation. The location is fantastic, but it is a transit station for coach parties, the food is reasonable, but expensive and is a buffet. If you want good food head for Flam marina much better.

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.

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.
