Hardanger Hotel

Brilliant find this hotel. Staff were superb and extremely helpful with regards gluten free breakfast options for someone in our party. We had top floor room with view over the harbour.

Good location. Close to restaurants and shopping. Breakfast was nice.

A great hotel to use if your planning to hike Trolltunga

Nice view and good breakfast!

Lovely property, very nice staff, well worth a visit

The single hotel room was the worst I've ever been to - but at least now I know how a prisoner must feel like. Extremely small, can't use the toilet without hitting your knees on the wall! Staff very friendly and breakfast okay.

Located just across the road from the bus station it is perfect for anyone who is planning on hiking Trolltunga. The hotel itself was great and the staff were all friendly.

It’s very conveniently located nearby bus stops and restaurants. It’s a very old non fancy hotel that’s perfect for those interested in Trolltunga hike. The breakfast was amazing! The shower had good water pressure and even had a tub. The rooms and beds were shabby but clean and functional. No hair dryer. Free parking on site.

A very nice place to stay at. Its in the central area and is 3 mins walk from the bus station. Biggest surprise is that while free breakfast starts at 0630 and your leaving early for hikes, there are some food available after 0500. Would choose this place to stay at again if coming back.

Staff were exceptional. They provide quick and efficient services. However, transportation in and out of Odda is very limited. Two buses travel to Bergen each day. One at 0530 and another at 1700. This makes the town small and little less to do. Walk the river and hike up the local trails. Do this as a warm up for Troll Tongue.

Located on a very busy street and the traffic was heard all night long

very good.

The breakfast was plentiful and delicious with many options. We really enjoyed our stay.

I stayed for two nights in late July. Check in was super easy. It's across from the fjord and 3 minutes from the grocery and wine shops. It's a few steps to a bar and local restaurants. In other words, great location! It's a tad dated in the room but very comfortable. Breakfast was great. Very good coffee. Definitely recommend.

The bar across the street made A LOT of noise on both nights. You couldn't possibly sleep without earplugs on. I have my own earplugs, I hope the hotels have some for other guests just in case they need them. The view was great!

Room was pretty bare-bones but spacious to move around, very clean and fine for one night. Large outside balcony with nice views of the Fjord and quaint nautical Odda. Bathroom was big with limited shelving. Shower is in a big high-sided tub with only a half glass partition, and water got everywhere. No hair dryer in room that I could find, and realized this post-shower. Breakfast is in an airy vintage dining area that is a mash-up of decades with nice water views. No pastries to be found at buffet. Front Desk woman very friendly and confirmed where to park (free parking!). Good location for Folgefonna and also walking distance to local dining options.

Great location, parking did need to be off site but otherwise fantastic location and AMAZING breakfast spread

Loved this hotel! It had a very nice staff and the breakfast in the morning was delicious! Plus it had great vegetarian options. And you can’t beat the views of the fjords. I would absolutely recommend staying here.

This hotel is BEAUTIFUL! So clean, comfortable and has everything you could ever hope for! The staff are amazing and accommodating and everything is set up perfectly for a great trip to Odda. Stayed here for a summer trip and I couldn’t recommend this place more! Thank you!

Very friendly and helpful staff! Great view of the fjord.

Great hotel for location and views of the harbour! We stayed to transit to Trolltunga, they have a luggage storage option for free for hotel guests which is super convenient.

Very basic older hotel, but clean and a good location. Nice balcony with water views. Friendly front desk. Shower/Tub only had a half glass partition and water got everywhere. No shelving in bathroom and no hair dryer. Breakfast room large and airy but very dated. No pastries on buffet.

Great breakfast, recommended restaurants are good, lots of parking front and back although sadly none reserved for disabled, helpful staff, great location especially for shuttle bus to trolltunga P2. Great views from the front although noisy in the street until circa 02.00 at a weekend

Great location overlooking the Fjord. Breakfast is efficient and full of varieties. They even started the breakfast at 5 to accommodate hikers. Room pictures do not justify the room, very spacious for a standard room, even has a sofa and working desk. Bathroom is super clean.

The room was basic and has some parts that were outdated, but clean. Breakfast was not plentiful, but did the job.

Good

Good variety for breakfast.

Owner and wife warm and friendly. Amazing view from our room!

Always a pleasure to visit. Quite simply the best view out of any hotel room. Fantastic breakfast, great host amd good rooms. I can't think of a single negative. I will return again

Fantastic hotel that makes you feel welcome for your whole stay. The beds are comfortable and the view out of my room was worth the stay alone! The breakfast is excellent and a good choice of hot or cold. You will not regret chosing to stay at the Hardanger Hotel.

Comfortable, clean, and great breakfast. And a big big thank you to Evelyn who gave us amazing travel tips and was so helpful in planning a day of exploration between Odda and Bergen!

Hotel is old, furniture tired, but the owner was very helpful and friendly. Great location though we experienced weekend nights to be noisy with people singing/laughing in the street in front of the hotel until past 2 am, not from hotel guests. Overall, a good place to explore the area.

This is a nice property. Unfortunately the day I arrived the street in front was under repair and closed so getting to reception was difficult. Aside from that the property was very nice. Breakfast was very good. Rooms were nice sized and neat.

Great location and view. Friendly staff

A very comfortable hotel, perfectly situated in Odda. We had a very large double room which had plenty of space. Comfortable bed and very friendly staff.

Had a beautiful view from our balcony. Clean room. Breakfast was great and to-go lunch for our hike was very helpful. Room was spacious and had everything we needed.

The bad: 1. Dated place kind of dormitory that was converted into “hotel” 2. WiFi was not working for 3 days I was there, some luck was in the lobby but even there it would disappear after few mins The good: 1. Staff was welcoming and good 2. Breakfast was good and I made a sandwich for my Trolltunga hike using their options 3. Location is beautiful with great restaurants option

Place shows its age. Breakfast for 2 of the days was pretty bad. The scrambled eggs were really watery. The hard boiled eggs were not cooked enough

Nice hotel for the Trolltunga hiking!

The hotel is clean and staffs are helpful and friendly, good value for the money, solo travelers friendly also good selection of breakfast buffet

Staff was wonderful. Breakfast was delicious. Rooms were just ok; no shampoo or hairdryer.

A nice, basic hotel. Centrally located in Odda. Comfortable beds and a decent breakfast buffet, with easy options if you also want to pack your own lunch. We had a room facing the back, which was a bit noisy, especially in the morning as that is where the delivery trucks are. If available, I would have paid the extra for a room facing the fjord.

The location is right in front of the Fjord with amazing view from our balcony

Nice and clean hotel for our stop over before and after Trolltunga hike.

Small room but nice. A balcony was a bonus. Parking was limited. Service was excellent at checkin and the bar.

Great place to stay, easy check in, very polite staff, they upgraded on arrival to a top floor room with massive new bathroom, huge corner bath and walk in shower. We had a fantastic view of the fjord from our balcony and room. The room was spotless, beds were very comfortable and breakfast was good. We booked this accommodation in the hope of doing the Trolltunga walk (the same as everyone in Odda!) however the forecast was horrendous so we bailed, be prepared for people being on the corridors at 4am with little care for how much noise they make. Not the hotel’s fault but ear plugs at the ready. Would definitely recommend.

Hotel room is large and plenty space in the bathroom room. The facility is quite old and time to update.

Rooms need updating (we stayed in 416) it was a 1970s time capsule. No blackout curtains which is very annoying for summer time travel when sunset is after 2200 and sun rise is before 0500. Staff is friendly and helpful. Hotel is clean and well situated. Expensive/ like everything else in in Norway.

Loved our stay! The room we got had beautiful views and the morning breakfast was decent. The hotel is outdated, but vintage and the surrounding scenery makes up for all the minor flaws.

Great location, comfortable beds, and delicious breakfast!

I really loved the view from the hotel room of the fjord, and the breakfast was decent. However the shower was alittle weird and made water go all over the floor of the bathroom.

Wasn't too impressed by the area of Odda, but the location of it to Trolltunga made it decent. Everyone was nice at the hotel and complimentary breakfast was great. Don't get the economy room if you don't need a fridge. Wish I spent a little more for a room with fridge. All in all - solid choice!!

Spent one night here on our Norway travels as it was close to the starting point for the Trolltunga hike. The hotel was very basic but clean and comfortable and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful, even allowing us to have breakfast (which was great) before the usual start time so that we could get off to an earlier start. Something to consider though if you're planning to get up early for Trolltunga- we stayed on a Saturday to walk on Sunday, and there was a lot of bar/ nightclub noise which went on until the early hours of the morning - our room was on the front of the hotel (with an amazing view..!) so not sure if being at the back would have been a better option noise-wise, or if other nights are quieter.

The hotel had construction which made parking a bit confusing, not overall no complaints. Great location and nice breakfast.

Very small bathroom

It was overall excellent. The first night our room did not have blinds that blocked out light(503) . The second night the room was very nice but there was a loud party across the street until 3AM.

Be mindful that this hotel is tailored to people for hiking outside mostly. Amenities in room is extremely frugal and limited. This is fine for us given we’re here to hike trolltunga, but no hair drier and shampoo does bother us as those are essential after the hike. Another bad thing here is it is quite noisy. We could hear lots of noises on the street on Sat night till probably 1am or later. We can’t get into sleep before that and it is definitely a no-no for people planning for early hike next day.

Good location. Breakfast was excellent, lots of variety. The room was comfortable and spacious. Great shower. It was a little noisy outside our room. Once you closed the window it was quiet. However, it did get hot. A fan would fix this. Other than that, great stay.

First room could use better blinds. 2nd stay noise until 3 AM across the street.

property needs some updating, seriously

Used as a base before and after the Trolltunga hike. Very basic and fairly small room and single bed but comfortable. Nice breakfast. Some nice restaurants in area and a nice easy hike along river. Quiet area.

Nice property and the room was very nice and spacious. Would have been nice to have black out shades or curtains.

Great location, has free breakfast with lots of stuff and free coffee and tea all day. Room is as you see in pictures, and has every comfort you need

Great hotel with a 100+ years history in Odda. The perfect place to stay if you want to spend some time locally in Odda or want a base camp for exploring all the attractions in the area like Trolltunga, Buerbreen, Cider farms, Folgefonna, Fjord Cruises, one of the many festivals and much more. The host is from the original family of owners, is very friendly, and has slowly but surely restored the hotel inside since he bought it back 27 years ago. He has invested and restored the rooms, built an extra floor on top with large Superior Rooms with a great view from the balconies. He is also an avid art collector and throughout the hotel, you will find a lot of great art on display. The hotel operates as a bed and breakfast, with a popular bar in addition to the core services. From time to time, they also offer cultural events. Across the street, you will find the best gourmet dining in Odda at Agas Bistro.

Everything is great but the pipe was leaking under the sink.

Thanks for having us! Wonderful spot in the center of town… the breakfast spread was amazing and what I needed before hiking Trolltunga. The owner and his wife are wonderful and so friendly. Thanks!!

Pros: - Cleanness - nice staff - great breakfast - great location Cons: - terrible beds (had to sleep on the floor) - no fan or dehumidifier

Great views and clean hotel!

Amazing stay at Hardanger Hotel. Great accommodation with a view of the Fjord into Odda. Mint location. Because we started our hike early, before the breakfast timing, the hotel let us make a packed lunch. They were happy to let us store luggage when we arrived early before check in, and even looked after it for us after checkout while we went hiking during the day and departed that Odda in the evening. Vanja was super nice and friendly, great host for the hotel. A from New Zealand travellers.

Room was extremely hot and management didn’t know why and had no other alternatives, heat wasn’t on however it may have been due to the fact the room was above some kind of kitchen or heating system, also overpriced for such an old hotel which hasn’t been updated

Fantatic hotel with the best view anywhere. Great hosts and a good atmosphere in the bar. Breakfast was very good. Checking in and out is very simple and the whole stay is wonderful.

Highly recommended when staying in Odda!! Check in was very smooth and amazing service throughout the whole stay. Good stay if you plan on going on the Trolltunga hike. Location is close by shops to stock up for the hike and plenty of parking on site. The hotel does offer fresh sandwiches if you want to get some for the hike or the lovely staff there would store your food to pick up in the morning. Special thanks to the manager for the upgrade with a beautiful view outside from our balcony. All in all a great hotel, smiling staff - I’m a happy traveller.

The elevator stopped working. I had to move 2 large bags down 4 flights of stairs.

Great staff, clean rooms, beautiful view, reasonable price, excellent breakfast. Friendly citizens. Of course awesome nature!

😎

Convenient location, helpful staff, good breakfast

I was worried about not enough to do, but I loved Odda & the Hardanger Hotel. We had a room with a balcony, which was fabulous for sipping wine & viewing the fjord & watching local activity. The staff were very friendly & helpful, as were the local people.

Perfect for what we needed, Beautiful town, close drive for the Trolltunga hike.

Great location! And some seriously good food near by. The accommodations worked perfectly for us and the bar was a nice bonus :)

Close to trolltunga and good value! Happy we stayed here!

No complaints

Right in the town center and <3 minute walk from restaurants, a grocery store and the bus station (perfect for catching an early morning bus for the Trolltunga hike). Our room had a nice breakfast included, which made the hotel a good value as well. The staff was super responsive and we enjoyed our stay.

The hotel is dated but clean. One of our mattresses was very “soft” to the point it had lost all support and just sagged in the middle. The view is great from some of the rooms but the windows do not block the sounds from the streets (there were lots of loud festive people out and about until 2 am). The breakfast is great and the location is easy and central for anyone going hiking/exploring.

Hotel is quite old. Room looks very very dated. When i contacted the hotel before arrival We were promised a view to th fjord and 2 twin beds put together as a double bed. We got 2 separate beds i had to move and put together and view to a back parking lot. Location of hotel in good and breakfast was good. That is all i can say

convenient

Just the perfect stop for Trolltunga. We stayed here two nights and our double twin bed rooms were very nice. Much more spacious than other hotels we had stayed in this trip. Staff's very nice and helpful. Great breakfast too, starts early at 5 to accommodate Trolltunga hikers.

Basic and well priced hotel in the heart of Odda. Smooth check-in, small, but practical laid out and clean room. Very quiet at night. High quality breakfast with lots of choices. Perfect if you just need a place to sleep.

At the heart of Odda. Closed to trolls tongue hike if you are going there. Buses going to and from P2 hike. Near the bus station as well. 👍

The location of the hotel is perfect, very short walk from the bus station. Very good breakfast, which starts quite early. The staff is nice and helpful. I had a single bed room with private bathroom. They have old furniture in the room, but it so the job. The bed was comfortable! I would recommend to amyone!

Where to begin, from our late arrival the staff was kind, warm and welcoming after a long journey. The room was spacious and comfortable. Breakfast and lunch were perfect before and during the ardous Trolltunga hike. Returning home to a steaming hot shower, a heated bathroom floor and cozy bed made for the perfect nights sleep. Hardanger Hotel is perfect for visiting Odda. Staff is bar none and very informative. Highly recommend.

Warm and inviting staff, spacious and comfortable rooms. Very close in proximity to Trolltunga. Breakfast and lunch were delicious. Convenient and ample parking available. Walking distance to local eateries. Perfect hotel when visiting Odda and hiking Trolltunga, highly recommend!

The most fantastic owner and host Ole! It isn’t often you encounter this family- owned environment with such personal service to make our stay incredibly special… we will never forget you! We hiked Trollunga and the Bruebreen glacier trail within an easy drive.

The hotel needs to be refreshed. It’s really warned down

Overall was quite comfortable. The hotel was a bit dated, but overall was a great place to stay. Breakfast was great as well.

Room was clean and sufficient. Breakfast was good, with detailed allergen guide.

Helpful Staffs. Good size room

The property was dated and didn't have in-room temperature control. They also left the front door open all the time where people smoke and it makes it way to the lobby and restaurant

An incredible view! A great hotel. The owners are absolutely the most accommodating people you could hope for. The beds are crazy comfortable. The rooms are spacious with decor a little dated but clean and comfy. Bathrooms are large. The breakfast is delicious and the bar is great. They will turn you into Red Elvis fans for sure! Our first room didn’t have a great views because we didn’t know to ask. As soon as a room opened up they moved us! Amazing. In the middle of a quaint wonderful town. Hiker’s paradise.

Easy check in. Friendly staff and a nice breakfast.

Fantastic hotel with the best view out of any hotel window due to its great location. Room clean and comfortable. Friendly staff who are happy to answers questions and have good ideas of where is best to eat and visit. Breakfast is plentiful and good with a varied selection. I will return again.
