Hardangerfjord Hotel

I had the pleasure of staying at Hardangerfjord Hotel for one night in August 2025, arranging a leadership gathering for my team. This hotel exceeded my expectations in almost every way – from the location to the service – and I would happily return, both for business and leisure.||The setting is stunning, right by the Hardangerfjord with view towards Folgefonna glacier. There’s free parking right outside, including charging stations for EVs.||I stayed in a superior room (no. 276). It was spacious, with a big bathroom that had heated floors. My room didn’t have a balcony, but many of the other rooms did, and with that view I would recommend booking one if possible.||From check-in to check-out, staff were friendly and helpful. A special thanks to Ingvild Rykkje, who made sure everything related to our meeting went perfectly smooth. It really makes a difference when someone goes the extra mile like that.||Both lunch and dinner were of high quality, with local ingredients that gave the meals that extra touch. ||Considering the quality of the stay, food, facilities and the unique location, I found the price very fair. I wouldn’t hesitate to arrange another work event here.||Regards|Svein-Magne Tunli from Bergen, Norway

The highlight of our stay at Hardangerfjord Hotel was without a doubt the food. Every meal was beautifully prepared, packed with flavor, and showcased the best of local ingredients. Whether it was breakfast with stunning fjord views or dinner in the cozy restaurant, the culinary experience truly stood out. The hotel itself is clean and comfortable with a great location right by the water. However, a few details were surprising for a hotel in this price range: you have to pay extra for towels if you want to use the swimming pool, and the bathrooms don’t come with basic toiletries like shampoo, shower gel, or body lotion—so make sure to bring your own. Overall, a memorable stay largely thanks to the amazing food and scenery, but a few small amenities could be improved to match the otherwise high standard.

Indifferent breakfast. In mid-summer, the pool was closed from 19:00. The room was small.

The hotel is well located in the center of the city yet in front of the fjord. It has plenty of parking and simple comfortable rooms. We enjoyed the breakfast buffet and they accommodated my dietary needs being pregnant.

After a rather exhausting day of charity work for a Humanitarian Aid group (loading goods for transport to Ukraine) it was very VERY welcome to arrive at this hotel.||||Staff at check-in was friendly and accommodating. Also - very positively - parking for our oversize vehicle was easy accessible and spacious. ||||Standard rooms were big and openly furnished. They seemed clean and neat. Beds were comfortable and the room had a small balcony.||||During the evening the bar-staff were friendly and talkative, very accommodating also to requests they did not expect.||||The breakfast was stunning. Plenty of nice food presented in a beautiful manner. Bread was tasty and fresh and condiments plentiful. ||||All in all a good and heartwarming experience, although not the cheapest hotel I've ever stayed at. ;-) ||||Thanks. Will be back next time.

This is a bit delayed, as I’ve just finished a 3-month trip. But because my experiences here were superb, I wanted to follow-up with a review. ||The basics were certainly met, as the room was clean, comfortable, and quiet. And the TV, Wi-fi, and shower all functioned well. ||Beyond that, though, the staff was amazing. Efficient with the business aspects, pleasant personalities, and helpful with advice - making the whole experience just enjoyable. And as I departed after a good breakfast (with good, diverse offerings), I saw an employee meticulously setting other tables, ensuring that things were simply perfect. A small thing, perhaps, but there just seemed to be a focus on ensuring that everything done well here, and that was much appreciated. ||And, yes, the location on the fjord was also amazing!

It is a wonderful treat during your trip - the location and the views are breathtaking and the breakfast is just a fiest. It is delicious and the staff is more than nice. The only downside is maybe that coming in August we should have paid for the pool and also the working time of the facility starts in 11, which is kind of strange if you want to make a proper swimming workout.

We stayed in a superior family room. The room was a little impersonal and had lumpy pillows and heavy covers. Not much of a view. In the bathroom, there was only soap. Entrance to the pool was not included when booked by a different sight. Really shouldn't matter, you would think. Maybe our expectations were too high. Breakfast was great.
