Is this really a hotel with four-star standards?
Cons:

All was excellent with the hotel staff; they were very polite and helpful. However, I do not think the hotel offers value for the price paid. There were socks in the wardrobe, probably left from previous guests. The lobby is not equipped with the necessary drinks, and I do not think an open buffet is a great option for evenings. Unfortunately, if I ever travel to Flam again, I would stay at another hotel that offers a la carte dining and seems to have more modern rooms and service.

Tudo ok para uma noite !
Pros:

Localização muito boa, hotel muito bonito bem conservado

Cons:

O primeiro atendimento não foi muito bom, além de que todos que chegaram junto comigo as 13h puderam entrar no quarto, somente eu tive que deixar a mala e retornar 16h. muito estranho.
depois fui muito bem atendido pelo Adan .
opção de jantar muito cara

Clean, comfortable hotel with spectacular surrounds.
Pros:

The breakfast was great. The location was central.

Cons:

Cost of the buffet dinner was very pricey, but we could have eaten elsewhere so that was on us.

C'est une HONTE. Chambre 2 étoiles...et encore !!!!
Pros:

Rien ou si peu...par rapport au prix. Comment peut on proposer des chambres aussi vétustes dans un hôtel 4* !!!
C'est une HONTE.
Le hall d'entrée et la salle de restaurant entièrement rénovés.

Cons:

Tout. Fauteuil en lambeaux, décoration veillotte qui sont soit disant d'origine mais çà ressemble plus à de la récup de vide grenier. Pas de sèche cheveux, Pas de shampoing, Pas de télévision. Salle de bain minimaliste. Baignoire sabot qui sert de douche avec un minable rideau. Auréoles au plafond d'infiltrations d'eau. Chasse d'eau des WC qui réveille tout l'étage et qui sonne plus fort que le train Flamsbana qui date de la deuxième guerre mondiale. (Super balade en train entre Myrdal et Flam à faire absolument ) et mieux conservé que la chambre...

Enjoyable stay
Pros:

Location, next to the train station, and nice view

Cons:

The only point to note is that there was an unpleasant smell in the corridor on the way to the room, which affected the first impression.
