Flåm was incredible, and staying at Fretheim was lovely. It was clean, we slept so soundly, the breakfast was delicious, and the views were spectacular. We cannot wait to return someday! If you go and are able to do the Brekkefossen Raokjen trail, it is approximately 45 flights of stairs, but the view is well worth it! Highly recommend staying here, and experiencing this magical place.

A beautiful place! We arrived by ferry and walked to the hotel. Its natural beauty is amazing. It was before the height of the tourist season, so it was not crowded.

The hotel is historic and beautiful but the room looks a little old. The staff is super nice and breakfast is delicious. I now they are renovating parts of the hotel so it will be 5 stars when renovation is complete. Very convenient for staying in Flam l.

Had a great stay at the Freithem for one night. The room was very comfortable, the food was delicious, and the staff was very kind and helpful. I really enjoyed sneaking up to the lookout and appreciated that they had non alcoholic beer on the dinner menu. (Also LOVE the Fjellheim soap! I'm hooked on the scent.) Looking forward to an opportunity to enjoy this space in the Summer!

It was unique that we had control over the temperature in our room; this was the only hotel we stayed at that had this option and it made for a more comfortable sleep. The bed was comfy. The dinner and breakfast buffets were excellent. The decor was interesting and made it fun to explore and walk through the entire hotel admiring it. I’m glad I chose the historic room option. It made it more fun and I enjoyed the tub for a bubble bath.

This was a most pleasant stay. The room was very comfortable and the food choices in the dining room were amazing. The buffet for the evening meal was so varied. Everyone couple find something to eat. The breakfast choices were wonderful. Not just the continental breakfast we are all used to. I would happily come back again.

Don’t believe the hype. No phone, tv or mini refrigerator. No shower. Went to Gym to shower. Only bath tubs. I see yours were given better quality of rooms. But shower had no bath wash. Shampoo or Conditioner. They did give us hand wash. The towels for $300 a night were dingy. But the view was spectacular and the front desk ladies very accommodating. However. It’s sold out every night from day travelers spending the night and moving on. Loved Flam. People were upset by the big ship appearing and staying for 2 days. I knew in advance.

The room we stayed was not very good. It did not match the picture showed during the booking. There was one window (not too big) and it did not have any balcony. The room size was pretty small.

Flam is a beautiful spot and easy to reach by car, train, or ferry. The Fretheim is nice enough- clean and comfortable beds - but also terribly overpriced. Console yourself with a not-to-miss cinnamon roll from the Flam Bakery. Go for a hike or bike ride. It’s well worth the visit. You just might want to explore other lodging options to be more budget friendly.
