The Fretheim Hotel holds a strong reputation for its unbeatable location and historic charm, with guests frequently praising its proximity to the Flåm train station and the fjord cruise pier. Many reviewers highlight the 'amazing' breakfast and the unique, cozy libraries found on each floor as major pluses. The observatory is another frequently mentioned highlight, described as a beautiful spot for stargazing. While the majority of guests find the rooms comfortable and the staff friendly, some reviewers have noted that the walls can be thin, allowing sound to travel between rooms. Additionally, a few guests mentioned that room temperatures are controlled centrally, which may limit personal adjustments. Despite these minor points, the hotel is widely considered a convenient and memorable place to stay when exploring the Nærøyfjord.
