Hotel Mesra Haiwan Peliharaan di Flåm

A beautiful hotel with its own edge. Situated in front of the fjord and next to the mountains. Great spread of breakfast and self-service laundry available, which was great because we were travelling long.

We booked an overnight in Flamt between the boat trip up the Sognefjord, and the train ride from Flam to Oslo. This was booked by my travel agent. While booked in December 2023, it was the last available room at this hotel. The hotel was nice, and surprisingly quiet. Until the fire alarm went off at midnight. Apparently, this is a known issue at this hotel when someone gets out of the shower the steam from the shower sets off the fire alarm, which interestingly is located right above and outside the bathroom. This property does most of the big things very, very well, lots of nice restaurants, very quiet rooms. Reasonably comfortable beds. Yet some of the things are oddly terrible. Small, raggedy gray towels. No face cloths. Nespresso machine that would not function properly. And then the midnight awakening by the fire alarm (which was not relaxing at all, on what was meant to be relaxing vacation). No way to control the temperature in the room, so that we woke up, ridiculously hot in the middle of the night, and ridiculous duvets on the beds which added to the crazy heat. The bed was reasonably comfortable, the brewpub was delicious, and the little town is super cute. When I return to this particular hotel? I’m not sure. Maybe if I could get a different room and maybe if they did a little bit better with the smaller things.
