Trolltunga Hotel

Quick bus ride or about a half-hour walk uphill from the bus station, but I think is worth it. Great takeoff point to hiking Trolltunga. Staff are excellent and made me feel at home. I only initially planned on being here for a night but added a 2nd night. Great breakfast and the dinner options are also yummy. Would recommend!

Nice hotel, stayed just the one night in a private room with ensuite. Included breakfast selection was pretty good as was the selection of beers at the bar in the evening. Plenty of parking for guests, short 20min drive to the trolltunga hike carparks.

We stopped at the hotel for a coffee because of its beautiful location. When we saw kayaks available, we asked the friendly Brazilian staff member if we could rent them. She was warm, welcoming, and even allowed us to prepare breakfast there since the restaurant was closed, a kind gesture after a week of camping. We rented the kayaks for 750kr and spent several hours paddling on the lake. When we returned, tired and hungry, we began preparing a simple lunch. At that point, a Scandinavian-looking manager/owner came out visibly frustrated, waving her arms and pointing at our belongings. She told us to pack up and leave immediately, treating us more like unwelcome vagabonds than paying guests. We tried to explain that we had paid for the kayaks that morning and that her own staff had kindly welcomed us for breakfast. However, she refused any discussion and insisted we leave with our pot of boiling water and food across the street. She would not even allow us to finish in the parking lot. Overall, what began as a positive experience thanks to the kind staff and beautiful surroundings turned into a very unpleasant one due to the manager’s unnecessarily hostile attitude. It’s a shame, because the location has so much potential, but the energy and treatment we received from management left us with a very negative impression.

We were amazed to find that this hotel was so nice in such a remote location. The rooms were simple, but clean and comfortable. The common areas were a step up - a patio overlooking the lake and the rushing river, sofas with a fireplace, and wine, beers and ciders to cheer from the front desk. Cocktails could also be ordered.||The morning buffet had a lot of variety: eggs, potatoes, meats, cheeses, vegetables, etc. (see photos). In the evening, the restaurant turns into a lovely spot for a quiet dinner with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the water. The menu is limited, but excellent in quality (on the pricier side). Before and after hiking, we were glad we did not have to look elsewhere for meals. ||There is a washer available (fee), and the door stays locked by the front desk. I really appreciated that. You can also store your luggage. ||When you book at this hotel, they offer a ride up to Skjeggedal P2 in early season if you also book with Trolltunga Active for the hike. The owner gave us a ride up. His company is interested in preserving the environment around the Trolltunga trail, so they don't have their trail guests swim or wander far off the trails. I respect that.||It was an all-in-one stay that made our logistics easier, and I highly recommend the whole package.

Perfect base for hiking around the local mountains and exploring the area. Friendly staff and amazing views. The double room was perfect for a solo traveller. They let me use the shower after checking out from hiking all day which was so nice of them. Will be back for sure!

Better described as flash packing for the 30+ year old Trolltunga hiker. Located on the edge of town, the rooms are clean, small and basic. Our double room had an amazing view of the fjord across the road. The rooms are only 10 sqm including a bathroom that makes ingenious use of the small space - a shower screen that folds in two to fit; a small sink; shelves and towel hooks. Be warned, the water pressure in the shower isn’t great - a bit more than a spray. The room includes a kettle and two mugs (although one had a crack down the middle and hot water started leaking out of it when we tried to make tea). There is also no mini fridge in the room, so we couldn’t store our store-bought yoghurts. Unfortunately the walls are pretty thin - so we could hear the occupants in the rooms on either side… There is wifi in the common areas, but the signal doesn’t reach our room (only four doors down from reception). We had looked forward to the laundry facilities - but unfortunately it’s NOK 100 for access to the laundry room which has a washing machine only (no tumble dryer, so we elected to pass). The breakfast buffet (open 6am-10am) is truly legendary and the highlight of our three night stay there. There’s a good spread of cereal, eggs, sausages, waffles, toast. Frustratingly the fire alarm went off at 10.30pm, which woke us up since most nearby activities involve an early morning start. We got dressed and went down the corridor to evacuate and were told it was a false alarm. Staff were diligent with making up our room every day and polite. We paid NOK 7,650 for three night stay in August 2025.

Trolltunga Hotel A great spot before the tough hike to Trolltunga! The food is genuinely good — I recommend the tartare and the lamb. Apple juice was also surprisingly tasty. But the cleanliness… not great. Found hair in the bathroom, no shampoo. When I asked for cleaning and shampoo — the answer was: “Write to management.” Guys, that’s not how you treat guests. And then, after a trip to the store to buy shampoo myself, I go to take a shower — turn on the water, and it floods. The drain just doesn’t work. Seriously?

The Rooms were small but fine and the bathrooms were, despite the fact that they are puplic also clean but the rooms are very dirty (a lot of dust on the floor) and it smelled horrible everywhere!!! I opened the window as much as possible but the bad smell didn’t go away. I also want to talk about the towels in the bathroom which are always wet and probably rarely get changed. Overall it was not a great experience but I had far worse.

We had a truly wonderful experience at the hotel and at the restaurant! We went in early October, a little after off season started though it was beautiful. The location is absolutely gorgeous, it is right by the water and we had a view out of the window. The room is small but very comfortable, and the heated floors In the bathroom were a great touch. They had recently renovated and added on, and it was very nice in the lobby and the patio. We used trolltunga active to do the hike, and it was so much fun! They were excellent. After the long hike, we ate dinner at the restaurant that night and it was absolutely delicious! We got local ciders from a neighboring town, and the pizza. So great! Would recommend to any and all!

A fantastic place to stage your Trolltunga hike, just on the outskirts of Odda. From here, you're only a 25 minute drive from the trailhead. The hotel itself is very basic. You'll get your own private bathroom, but it will be bare bones, the bed was more like a cot and had very little support. However, the views are priceless. Every morning I would wake up to another worldly fjord with waterfalls. The restaurant food was amazingly great. The pumpkin soup was perfect, well spiced and stomach warming. The steak was cooked to a perfect medium well sauced and beautifully garnished. Overall, I would definitely recommend.

Nice place, in now the Trolltunga hotel, staff were excellent, it's a bit pricy when you add in the 2k taxi ride to the town & back... There are cheaper options if you Look at the tourist info board downtown.

BOOK THIS ONLY AS A LAST RESORT!! Their cancellation policy is way too strict! We booked for 6 months out because we thought that our options were limited. Our plans changed and now we realize that they charge you 1 night's stay if you cancel. It's hard to believe that any establishment will have such a strict policy 6 months out, during the height of their busy season, so close to a popular hike. I have learned my lesson and will never reserve something without a reasonable cancellation policy. There are other options in the area. Check out AirB&B before booking something here. Half the price and a 48 hour free cancellation policy.
