Fleischer's Hotel

Fleischer's Hotel is at Evangervegen 13 in Voss, Vestland county, Norway, beside the Voss railway station and a short walk from the lake Vangsvatnet and the town centre. The hotel dates from 1864 and is one of the best-known historic hotels in western Norway, reflecting the era when rail and steamship travel brought visitors to Voss. The Bergen Line connects the town to Bergen in about an hour and to Oslo, and the Flåm Railway can be reached via Myrdal, so the hotel works well as a transport base. Voss is also known as an adventure sports centre, with skiing at Voss Resort in winter, whitewater rafting and kayaking on the nearby rivers in summer, and the Hangursbanen and Voss Gondol cable car offering views over the valley. The Voss Folk Museum and the medieval Voss church are close to the centre. Rooms are offered as standard, superior and suite categories, and many have a traditional style with timber detailing and period furniture, while a modern wing adds more contemporary rooms. The hotel has a restaurant with a traditional dining room, a bar and Wi-Fi, and breakfast is available. A spa or pool is not listed among the amenities. The service character is that of a heritage hotel catering to leisure travellers, families, skiers and small conference groups, with staff who can advise on local activities, equipment hire and train timetables. Listed rates run roughly 1,500 to 3,000 NOK per night, depending on season and room type, with winter ski weeks and summer holidays the busiest. Because the property stands beside the station, access for guests arriving without a car is simple, and the walk to the lakefront and the gondola base is short. Guests who value quiet can request rooms away from the railway side.
