We traveled across Norway by train and opted to stay in the village of Aurland rather than Flaam. Good decision. We took the bus to Aurland from Flaam (easy 15 minute ride) and walked across the square to the inn. The staff person at the desk was pleasant, gave helpful information about Aurland, and accompanied us to our room in... More

We stayed in this cute little hotel in Aurland, which is far less touristy than Flam. The town is small, so it was easy to tell we were the only tourists around. Rooms were clean, well furnished, and had decent bathrooms. Front desk staff was helpful when called upon. Absolutely no complaints about our stay at Vangsgaarden. More

We stayed here overnight on a driving tour through Norway. We had a waterfront cabin with double bedroom, two single beds upstairs, bathroom, kitchen and seating area. The cabin was lovely, very clean and warm with everything you'd need in it except bedding and towels which is standard in Norway when you hire a cabin. The view was amazing across... More

our room in the main building was very small but quite clean, and overlooked the water--a beautiful view! The small cafe adjoining the hotel was a lovely spot to relax outside for dinner (the food was excellent), and the breakfast was fine. In the evening after the tourist influx has settled out, it's a very pretty spot--the fjord views are... More

We had a confirmed booking for a cabin and were really excited staying at Vangsgaarden. Upon arrival we were told that they were overbooked and we couldn't stay with them. We had bought all our food in a grocery store beforehand since we wanted to use the kitchenette in the cabin. Well, we had to throw most of it away... More

We rented a cabin that had view of mountains and waterfalls, and the view was truly breathtaking. The cabin had kitchen and a bedroom. It was simple but nice. The staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast was pretty good. I would definitely come back here. More

Aurland is a nice little town, and here you can avoid the dozens of tour busses, the cruise ships, and the thousands of tourists in Flam. There are two gorcery stores a block away from the hotel. The hotel itself overlooks a fjord. The room was very small, hardly room to walk around the bed, but had a view of... More

Perfect stopover. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, rooms were clean, bright, it was perfect. Rooms are small, but basics all met. Walls are thin, but it was built awhile ago. I would stay here over a place in Flam any day. We ate at the restaurant where the chef is from France and enjoyed the food and talking to him... More

The original part of the hotel was built in the 1700's. It is a very quaint and quiet place to stay. Aurland is not a metro area and everything is peaceful and beautiful. This is a good alternative to staying in Flam before or after taking a trip on the Flam Railway. We dined at the hotel restaurant and was... More

Originally, our room would have been on the upper floor--probably with a better view--but my mom's hip was bothering her from all the walking we had done in Oslo the day before, so Astrid suggested the first room right off the lobby. I didn't get to see what our 1st room was like, but this is very nice and I... More
