Overall Ratings & Reviews Frich´s Ekspress Hotel Åndalsnes

The apartment was on the fourth floor with no lift. Difficult to manage with luggage and physical limitations.

Quite far from railroad station and buses. Directions to check in are confusing. No soap/shampoo in bathroom.

This hotel was quite an experience as checking in and out is done in a terminal. No person in sight. The hotel is on a third floor, part of a nice shopping mall.

Good hotel in a good spot to go to Trollstigen! Nice, clean, centrally located. Check in/out could be smoother like scanning a QR code instead of having to look up booking references. You have to type in all booking references if you book more than one room using the same name.

It’s a unstaffed hotel but very clean and comfortable. Checkin was very easy

It was easy to find and had free parking. The rooms were very up to date, but small (as everywhere in Norway). The checkin was confusing because I was supposed to get a sms with the door code, but it never arrived. I got lucky because someone who worked there happened to come out of the door and gave me the code.

Fine rom og oppoldsrom

Var litt skesptisk til å sjekke inn uten noen annsatte tilstede, men det gikk kjempefin og raskt. Ingen problemer i det hele tatt. Fine rom og oppholdrommet var pent og rent. Kunne kanskje vært fint med noen bord og stoler så man kunne sitte å spise fokosten ved et bord, Ikke bare en en bar.

Nice stay in this hotel. It is very basic, but common areas are cozy and coffee is free with self serve. Place has no breakfast, so ESSO gas station is the best option for this. Price was high compared to other places we visited in Norway, maybe because Åndalsnes might having a low hotel room capability? Nice view to the mountains from our room 😃

This hotel has no staff so you need to check yourself in. There was no breakfast, but there was a grocery store next door for supplies.

The unmanned check in worked seamlessly. The room was small but clean and comfortable. Unfortunately the coffee machine in the common area was not working and there are no facilities in the rooms themselves. I’d recommend though based on the value. The views from the room were also great!

We stayed one night and it was good, clean and nearby to shopping.

Without a person present we had a very frustrating experience. We wanted to drop our luggage before check in so we could do other activities and there was no space for that. I also could not check in because the machine did not work. It was really a terrible experience. If you need any help there is no one to help or get another towel or pillow. I will never use a hotel like this again.

Nice clean toilet and comfortable bed. Negative side are small room and no table for work

Fantastic property and completely self-serviced. Good for shorter stays. Beautiful view of the river outside from the window. 10 min walk to town center and attractions. No food or dining options but the Esso fuel station near by serves waffles, baked items and nice varieties of coffee for breakfast.

Brand new hotel. spotless.

Terrible check-in experience. I didn’t receive an SMS to my international number with pin to open the main door. It took about an hour to receive that information from the property by email after numerous calls to Expedia support, Expedia did a great job and even found for me an alternative hotel because the agent was unable to reach out to the property manager while was calling to all available numbers and sending the emails. The contact number that I found close to the self-check-in screen was switched off. The brand new room was perfectly clean and comfortable for a one night stay. The property is located next to the gas station and it’s about 15-20 min from the train station. The hotel was pretty expensive and it wasn’t worth it considering the location and lake of customer support onsite or at least a help line available after 8pm.

The room was a little small, no place for luggage, we were lucky that our room was in front of the common area so we sit over there, room is very modern bathroom was excellent

It should be priced like a hostel. Instead for one night we paid $ 270.00. The “hotel” is situated on the third floor of a sad shopping mall outside town next to a large gas station and an RV and bus storage. Too far from the train station to walk. Our room was small and lacked most of the basic amenities one expects from a hotel. No desk, no luggage rack, no kettle no coffee machine. It is advertised with AC, but there are no controls in the rooms. Fortunately we could open a window, but then we heard engines revving up all night. The TV does not have apps or Chrome-cast and the only channels are in Norwegian. In a new brand new place? No way to make coffee or tea. The coffee machine is in the common room, and we were supposed to find pods for it in the room but there were none. For coffee one must go to the gas station next door. What else would one expect? A decent shower and a good bed. Well, the shower drain was not working properly so to avoid a flood we had to shower with a trickle, and the bed was the cheapest and most uncomfortable we ever experienced in a Scandinavian country. So soft that it was hard to turn. The place is not staffed at all and so there is no security. At night I went into the common room looking for at least a kettle, and found a guy sitting there that gave me a weird vibe. I went back in the morning and he was still there asleep on the sofa. If you want to pay to sleep with the homeless this is the place for you.
