Flåm Marina & Apartments

Unique harbor-side hotel set right on the marina. Superior Double room was spacious, clean, comfortable and modern. Lots of extras compared to other hotels this trip; fridge with bottled water, actual glasses, coffee machine, plentiful towels. Outside the room is a small semi-private deck with views of the Fjord and beautiful surrounds, which would be amazing if not raining. The shower and WC are in separate rooms, which was not a problem-just remember which for night-time visits. Both dinner and breakfast were great and high quality. Being a smaller hotel, the breakfast was so calm and enjoyable. Convenient parking right at hotel and free! Location is both scenic and close to Flam village.

We had a fantastic stay at Juan Marina. The view is legitimately as incredible as the photo show. And this is especially true if there is a cruise ship in port because it is off to the left side and does not really obstruct your view. I could not imagine if I stayed at one of the other places closer to the train station how I would lose my entire view because a cruise ship would be blocking it. I also love that the hotel is just a few minutes out of that busy area so you really get to enjoy the view and peacefulness as opposed to being surrounded by tourists just coming and going.

Amazing views and great location in Flam, however very dissapointed with the 'service' (or lack of) and the basic breakfast. We also asked for some extra towels, and we were told that we would need to pay extra for this, which I have never heard of from any hotel, especially one charging so much to stay there!

This the place to stay if your in Flam. Its a 10 minute walk away the busy centre of Flam. At Flam Marina & Apartments you experience calm and tranquility as you sit overlooking the fjord. Flam it self gets very very busy and is often rammed with tourists getting off the cruise ships and going on the Flam train. Here you miss all that. Everyone was friendly and helpful. The onsite restaurant served a lovely meal, again with fab views over the fjord. Ample free parking is available. If you can stay on the top floor. Don't stay in the village, stay here, you will not regret it.

I hope the management takes this seriously: staff should not bring personal emotions into work. Professionalism is key, especially in hospitality. Respecting people from different countries and cultures is fundamental, and sadly, some one didn’t feel that here. Better staff training is essential if you want this restaurant to thrive long-term. Good food alone is not enough — attitude and respect matter just as much.

View is stunning!||We had Room 1, a junior suite. The view from the balcony was incredible - we spent the afternoon there just looking out at the fjord, so peaceful and still.||We dined in the restaurant and again the view was wonderful. The food was very good (we had cod and duck), and the service attentive.||If you are coming to Flåm this has to be the best place to stay.

After many nights in tiny hotel rooms, it was a real treat to stay in such a big beautiful space. The property is situated at the end of the fjord and offers stunning views from every unit. Everything was very clean and well-maintained. ||We ate dinner and breakfast at the on-site restaurant. The food and the service were both great. ||The floating sauna is just steps from the property. It was so convenient to be able to dry off and clean up right away in our own bathroom. ||The staff was also very helpful and patient with this confused American guest. Running low on clean clothes, I was very happy that my AI search of where to do laundry in Flom listed the place we were staying. When I asked where the laundry facilities were, the staff was very confused. Turns out, the AI search used a website with incorrect information. Thanks so much for your kindness and patience while I got my mistake figured out!

Humiliated by an Elderly Waitress During the Meal 1. When serving the dishes, she said in a lecturing tone, "You need to help me clear the table." The diners were happy to assist, but there was no need for such rudeness. 2. While I was taking photos during the meal, she slammed two bowls of fish soup onto the table with excessive force, clearly showing her displeasure. 3. When serving again, she snapped aggressively, "Don’t take photos while I’m serving." I replied, "I wasn’t filming you—I was photographing the food." She retorted, "I just don’t like it when you take pictures while I’m serving," in a tone that was almost confrontational. When we suggested she could have asked politely, she shouted back, "I am being polite—you’re the rude ones!" Her yelling was so loud the entire restaurant could hear. She was noticeably friendly toward Europeans. As tourists, taking photos is completely normal, and we didn’t interfere with her work. If she had any issues, she should have consulted her colleagues instead of taking it out on guests. I even suspect she was racist and biased against us. We came to this lakeside restaurant based on its reputation, only to encounter such hostility from this elderly waitress. As a service provider, any requests should be communicated respectfully, not with aggression. The two younger waitstaff were very polite and attentive to diners’ needs throughout the meal.

A highlight of any visit to Flam! The Flam Marina Restaurant offers an exquisite view of the main harbor's opening into the fjord, and it's the perfect place for a delicious, relaxing meal and beverage. The staff care about keeping the outdoor spaces clean and inviting (we saw a manager not only wiping tables but even the salt and pepper shakers). Our server, Alan, provided excellent service with the cheeriest of smiles, and he offered helpful suggestions about the menu (such as doing a half-and-half pizza when I couldn't decide between two options). We also ordered fantastic a fish dish, wine, and two tasty desserts here. The restaurant and attached rooms are only a short walk from the piers and other nearby hotels, and the views here are the best you'll find in all of Flam. Absolutely wonderful!

This location is something from a dream. Walking up to heavenly views and being greeted with excellent customer service. We enjoyed the seafood and burgers which were made to perfection. We had the best seat in the house! This location is walking distance from many places because of the dock. It is a great swimming location too. Wow, just wow!

Best food since we've gotten here. I got the vanilla milkshake and it was so good I forgot to take a photo ahead of time. The Caesar salad was phenomenal. The dressing was a tiny bit like ranch, but I still found it delicious. The fries were the perfect amount of crispy to soft, and the garlic sauce we got on the side went really really well with them. The views were gorgeous out the windows. Absolutely would return.

Stopped in for a light lunch while staying in this small town during the off-season (early December). Having researched every single restaurant available in the area within walking distance (Flåm is a small town of about 350 people), this place seemed like a perfect lunch spot. And it was. This wonderful little restaurant is located beneath the "Flam Marina Apartments" on the eastern shore. It's a five minute walk from just about anywhere in the port area. During the winter months, their glass-covered porch has portable heaters and blankets. We opted for that area and although it was about 25 degrees Fahrenheit outside, we were warm and comfortable inside. We opted for a very light lunch of fish soup. The soup was included tasty pieces of salmon, mussels, and white fish. The broth was absolutely delicious. The soup came with a couple pieces of warm bread drizzled with what prepared to be some seasoned olive oil. We used the bread to soak up every last drop of the soup. Service was helpful and friendly. We would definitely be back to explore more of them menu. Did I mention the spectacular view of the fjord from our table? Wow!

Views are over the top. Incredibly friendly service and a well rounded menu that also keeps the kids happy. Worth the walk across the marina - stop and smell the flowers on the way.

The food was fantastic and the view is unbeatable. The service was excellent as well. It is worth the short walk from the marina.

Amazing place. Nice food. Fast service.

We walked in on a Sunday evening without a reservation but given a table next to the windows with a beautiful view! My husband had the cod which was excellent. My burger and fries were also delicious. Wait staff was excellent. Highly recommend. Menu is limited but good choices.

Very good views over the fjord and Harbour, but the meal itself was nothing to write home about Most of us had the sirloin. While it was tender, it was cooked well done (wasn't asked for our preference), and my squash and champignons were slightly cold The burger was served with bacon even though it was requested without, and the bread had been warmed too long so it was a bit too dry The mud slide for dessert was however very good!

Food - 4 Service - 4.5 Value - 5 For the area, I'd rate this a 5-star experience since the dining options are limited. It's a little bit of a walk from the where the train station is, but is worth it if you want a quieter spot to dine and relax after a long day. My wife ordered the salmon and I got the cheeseburger. I was pleasantly surprised with how good the cheeseburger was (in the past trips to Europe where I've tried burgers, they just haven't done it justice). We were originally going to eat at another place that was quite noisy and where there was a 30-minute wait. Instead we walked about 10 minutes to here and got seated immediately and had a window table with a view of the fjords and a relatively quiet dinner with just a few other patrons in the room.

Best french fries ever!!! Staff is super friendly and always accommodating. They also have amazing milkshakes!

Flam...a small town engineered as a transport hub and built especially for tourists. PRICE: about $155, which was the cheapest in this artificial town. For what we got it was quite nice. I'm too old for hostels. LOCATION: Its about 400yards from the train station and Norled dock, which can be annoying in the rain. However, the gorgeous fjord view from your room will more than make up for it! ROOM: Or should I say 2 bedroom apartment with kitchenette and fjord view balcony? We got Room #1. Quite nice! But could use some art work and the dirty electric tea kettles need to be replaced. You must also clean your own dishes and cups before you leave or else face a 200kr fee. It was difficult to manage the water temperature in the shower as well. BREAKFAST: Not included, and the cafe doesn't open till 13:00. So be sure to pick up some groceries and the local Coop Market. CAFE: Quite nice and reasonable for Norway. 155kr Fish N Chips reminded us of Ireland. 79kr fish soup was tasty too. STAFF: Friendly enough. Checking in and out was easy and fast. Nice place overall, especially the million dollar fjord view each room comes with. Its just too bad Flam itself isn't a real Norwegian town. (Note: At time of this review, the US dollar was up 50% against the Norway kroner...$1 = 7.5kr vs $1 = 5kr just a couple years ago)

This review is strictly for the restaurant and food, and not for the apartments, since we didn't stay overnight here. I found this via Yelp (thanks fellow Yelpers!) and couldn't have been more pleased with our dinner here for our one night in Flam. There's no real sign that this place is also a restaurant, so don't be fooled that it only looks like a hotel / apartments for rent. You can actually dine outside on the patio with a view that most hotels, restaurants and people would kill for. In most other cities, a restaurant with this view would be overly crowded, loud, and expensive, with everyone clammoring to eat as close to the water as possible. Instead, this place was empty and it made for a very peaceful and lovely dinner on the patio. They have blankets and heat lamps so that you won't be cold. The food was pretty good, and probably some of the best that you can get in Flam. It's a pretty small town, so the options are fairly limited. We got a delicious piece of salmon - it was fresh, the fillet was quite large, and it was perfectly cooked so that it was slightly rare in the middle. We also got a pizza which was a decent size. It has tomato sauce, parmesan, thin slices of ham, and a little bit of arugula on top. We were hungry so it great that this was filling enough and it was tasty. I would definitely come back here for the restaurant and would also love to stay in these apartments if I need lodging in Flam. Come here at least for dinner: both the food and views are worth a short 10 min trek here (from the train station)

The fjord view, outdoor patio and our entrees made our dinner memorable. The blackened cod filet and rack of lamb were divine. Everything tasted fantastic, the local beer complimented our entrees. Portions were good. The location of the restaurant is a short walk from the marina. Quiet n tranquil!!!

This hotel/apartment was perfection - it was quiet, out of the way, cozy and the views are stunning. We did not eat at a the restaurant, so this is just a review of the accommodations. The apartments are two bedroom/one bath with bunk beds in one of the bedrooms, so if you have a family or a group, it sleeps 4-6 depending on how you situate everyone. The bedrooms have no windows which was the only thing that sort of bothered me because I felt very boxed in at night, but it wasn't the end of the world. There's a small studio-type kitchen that is fully stocked with any kitchen supply you may possibly need. Which is perfect because making a meal in your hotel/apartment is probably the first meal you will have as a traveller in Norway that doesn't cost $80 for 2 people. The bathroom is stocked with linens, toilet paper and hand soap but that's about it. You will definitely need to bring your own toiletries (but there is a small market in Flåm that stocks anything you would possibly need for a night or two if you forget anything, plus reasonably priced food, of course). You will need to do your own housekeeping and do your own dishes before you leave. Unless you are some kind of slob monster, this shouldn't be a challenge for any grown adult. This hotel is a very easy 5-ish minute walk from the train station and the town center. There is a pier that you can follow the entire way - no need to walk on the road, which we did before we realized the pier actually does wrap all the way around basically to the front door of the hotel. The road is very twisty and kind of scary because you can't see around the bend. Be safe and follow the pier. We spent two lovely nights in Flåm and got to spend two mornings sipping coffee and enjoying the gorgeous view off the patio. Every apartment has a patio that looks out into the fjord which is the main reason we chose this lodging. It was the best possible choice and I'm so glad we had the experience. Don't hesitate to stay here, you will love it. If I ever find myself back in this corner of the world, I would definitely stay here again.

If you love a good view, this place should be at the top of your list. The rooms are massive by European standards. Rooms come with a kitchenette so you can cook simple meals if you'd like. It's a short walk along the pier to reach here. Flåm is a small little town, so it's easy to navigate.

While waiting for our train to Oslo, we came here as we hadn't eaten anything for lunch. Location was a bit far off from the information area, and as we were carrying luggage, it was not very convenient. But restaurant has a pretty good view. Now, onto the food. We ordered two things: their pizza (ham & cheese) and their cheese & bacon burger. The pizza had a very weird flavor to it (the cheese?) that I did not enjoy very much. The crust of the pizza was okay, but not the best. The burger was pretty good, but the buns were slightly soggy due to the sauce so I ended up removing most of the bun. You can come here for lunch, but don't expect too much.

We arrived late, 7:15 pm (closed at 8 pm) and were the only diners. Two options for seating - eating on heated porch or inside. Clean, well organized dining room. Food was very good and was out of kitchen quickly. Salmon was very fresh and delicious sides were potatoes baked in a wedge, asparagus and pickled beet and pickles - all very good and tasty. My companion had Chile con carne served with garlic toast which was also very good. The only downside was that once the main course was served, our waiter disappeared but we did arrive 45 minutes before closing.

This is a great restaurant with an awesome view of the fjord. We ate here twice in two days because it was so good. The cod and salmon in particular. If you ever end up in Flam, take the 10 minute walk from the train station and visit this place. You will be amazed.

I went here to eat when I was in Flåm because the reviews were great and so was the view. It's not too far from the main town center, but far enough so I didn't see many tourists. The waitress was very nice and answered all my questions. I ended up getting the chicken club sandwich, with fries and coleslaw. The meal was delicious and filled me up, not to mention the gorgeous view!

I did not stay at apt. I ate at the restaurant Twice. It was a lovely view and very nice food. Salmon cooked for dinner was nice. Cheese board was good. Nice beer. And great view.

We stopped here for lunch before taking the ferry to Bergen, so this review is only for the cafe. The good: - it's a little out of the way, so not as crowded as some of the cafes that are closer to the ferry docks. - the views are amazing!! - the outdoor seating area was very spacious, both with and without shade. Not so good: - the bottle of beer I ordered was noticeably warm. They offered it in a bucket of ice to cool it down. I ended up getting something else to drink - the fact that the beer got so warm in the first place seems a little suspect. - the burger was not good. The meat was dry, tough, overcooked. The other burger contents were on the light side - salad greens, some mayo, red onion, tomato. It was hard to tell if there was actually smoked cheese in the burger or not! - there are not a lot of staff and they seemed a little overwhelmed when we were there as there was a large tour group eating inside the restaurant - the service was a little spotty and we had to work to get their attention a couple times to get a menu, order, pay the bill, etc. All in all - it seems like one of the better and less crowded places to stop for lunch in Flam if you are pressed for time, so I'd come here again for the ambiance.

Get away from the crowds and head to the best lunch view in Flam. Food is very good, service prompt. Cod in butter sauce was delicious!

Wonderful view on a quiet setting away from the tour boats, cruise ships and souvenir shops. We enjoyed their hamburgers with nice thick patties of quality beef. Free wifi is available for guests. The staff was very helpful and allowed us to store our luggage while we took a short walk.

Very cosy place for dining and price also justified. Good for family. We stay in Fretheim Hotel but found the menu and buffet for dinner not matching our taste. We found this one viaYelp and would say we made the right choice. Two adults and one kid cost NOK 700 + 50 tip. Fairly reasonable.

Just around the horseshoe of the waterfront across from the train drop off, this place will provide the affordable out of the way dining spot that you will be looking for in Flam. Stroll along the docks and around the side of the building to enter the cafe. The burger platter was fine and the service was friendly. Didn't seem like the outdoor dining was open for lunch but if it is, give it a try - the view is fantastic.

Beautiful scenery. Sitting outside facing one of the most gorgeous fjords in the world. Carlsberg on tap came with wifi for 3 hours. Relax, drink a beer and Skype home. Worth every kroner.
