We selected this property due to its proximity to Flam and lack of other options. Although it was 45 minutes to Flam, it worked out well. Not a lot to see in Laerdal, but there are many cute homes along the river and maybe three small places to eat. After dinner we walked up and down the streets. We ended up eating dinner twice at the bakery (pizza, calzones, chili, soup, desserts). We did not eat at the hotel but the menu looked good. I requested a room in one of the older buildings across the street and that was nice. Very clean room and very clean bathroom (with heated floor). Our window faced the road and was somewhat loud but did not keep us awake. If you are a light sleeper, possibly ask for a room on the front. Knut was very accommodating during our stay. The breakfast was excellent.
