    Wifi went in and out in the rooms. It is pricey, but it's also high season and everywhere else was expensive, too

    The staff were really helpful with any questions I had. It was cool to be in historic buildings, and having a sitting room was great for working and relaxing a bit. Breakfast had some familiar American/English items and also a great spread of norwegian breakfast experience.

    The food in the gastropub was basic

    The view! We stayed in a cabin and I cannot imagine a more perfect view. Simply gorgeous. The cabin was quite small and relatively basic. But nice nonetheless. Breakfast in the lovely old house was delightful. The staff were all really friendly and helpful.

    We thought from the photos that our cabin deck would have an unobstructed view of the water, so we were a little disappointed with the large deck that was built in front but doesn’t connect to the room. I suggest the photos on the booking sites should be updated.

    Better Communication about how to get to the unit from Flam and taxi, shuttle bus service info to get around would have been very useful in planning ahead.

    Beautiful view of waterfalls, fjord from private balcony in cottage, a full breakfast spread was served and cottage is adjacent to a full market for groceries if you want to cook using incottage kitchen with utensils provided.

    The cottage is quit snug - no place for luggage other than open on the floor. Having an additional mirror outside the bathroom would be helpful, especially since there is no outlet in the bathroom for using the blow dryer.

    The town of Aurland is charming. The cottage is clean and new and has amazing views! The bar and restaurant on site are very convenient and had a nice casual menu. Breakfast was plentiful and very good. Staff was friendly and helpful. Highly recommend this location!

    If we were very fussy we would say that there should be another mirror in the cabin apart from the one over the bathroom basin!

    Location location location! Vintage decor in traditional Norwegian home with guest accommodation in charming cottages directly over the must beautiful fjord.

    Unique and charming hotel with a great view
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Single Room
    • Stayed 2 nights

    Would be nice to have some extra towels in the room and more bath products (I had only 1 shower gel/shampoo). I guess it can be provided by request, but I never asked as it was enough for 2 days. First floor was a little noisy, but only when other occupants were walking in the corridor. I am not a light sleeper, so it never bothered me.

    The hotel has a very unique and charming style and atmosphere. Great location with a perfect view to the fjord. My room was without a view, but 2 minutes from the main building and you reach the pantone/waterfront to enjoy the beautiful fjord. Bus station and supermarket are less than 5 minutes walking. Cozy seating areas inside and outside the hotel with their own restaurant. The room was small, but clean with comfortable bed and nice bathroom. Heating was working perfectly. Welcoming and accommodating hotel personnel, the lady at the breakfast room was very lovely and helpful. Breakfast was great and sufficient - freshly baked bread, fresh veggies and fruits, cold cuts, salads; omelet and boiled eggs as some hot options; brewed coffee, tea and cocoa, orange juice. Tea and coffee station in the lobby was available throughout a day.

    Please add two suitcase stands (the folding kind) so that we don't need to put our suitcases on the floor. Other than that, everything was superb!

    We traveled with our cousins so it was nice to have the main level of the fisherman's cottage with a shared sitting room to ourselves. We also enjoyed sitting in the garden on the outdoor furniture. It was such a quiet and peaceful location. I was VERY impressed with everything! We enjoyed the breakfast and really appreciated the old Norwegian charm of the interior decor of the dining rooms.

    The description of the cabins should definitely point out that the 'stairs' to the loft are only suitable for the very agile and younger patron. There is no way an elderly person could possibly climb the ladder and sleep up in the loft unless they are in excellent condition. There is no way to stand up in the loft unless you are very short (< 4.5 feet).This is something that should DEFINITELY be pointed out in the booking advertisement. We were lucky that they had an available room, however it did cost us more than we budgeted. They need more places (hooks) to hang clothes in the bath. The main bedroom was very cramped, not much room to walk around the bed. All minor complaints, except for the loft issue. Kids would love it up there, but only kids.

    A beautiful spot and the Cabin we stayed in was very clean and quite new. The host was very gracious, helpful, and understood that we would not be able to use the beds in the loft and booked my elderly aunt in the main hotel in a double room for the price of a single.
