Bedroom was small but comfortable for solo travelling and with a beautiful view of the lake and mountains. Very modern and stylish look to the place. Restaurant was closed for dinner service the first night due to staff sickness however the lady behind reception very kindly helped arrange a pizza delivery for myself as I couldn’t face doing the walk down to town a third time that day haha. Breakfast was tasty and included in the stay. Would highly recommend to other travellers. Just beware that if you got the bus into town you may want to taxi it up to the hotel with your suitcases as it’s almost all up hill otherwise. 

Comfortable and stunning

A great hotel on the side of a lake with stunning views of the mountain and a river rushing by. Dinner in the restaurant is 5 star, highly recommended. Closed on Sunday and Monday (strange?) and a reservation needed for other nights.

The hotel is situated about 1 mile from Odda town centre and the bus station. There is a lovely riverside walk from the hotel to downtown Odda, but be warned, it is a long big hill back up again !! Catch the bus back. Last buses are quite early (984 is at 7:25pm).

Rooms are basic and functional. Beds are very comfortable and the shower is hot and powerful. Do book a room with a lake view otherwise you’ll be looking at the car park out the back.

A perfect location for your hiking adventures in the Odda area

Excellent reception staff and restaurant waiter.
Local dishes on menu, served with a smile.
Hotel rooms are.... small. Hotel is from the 1920, so this is no 5 star plastic hotel, but you get an autenitic experience. 
Be sure to order local cider when here. World class.


Beautiful countryside hotel

We stayed in August 2019 but I never got round to writing a review...

We stayed here for 2 nights as a base from which to set off on the Trolltunga hike nearby. Although the rooms weren't the most beautiful/clean smelling, it was just what we were after as four young travellers staying in two double rooms. They weren't very soundproof but we had no noisy neighbours so it wasn't an issue for us. Beautiful room-view onto mountains & fjords and beautiful surroundings if you fancy a wander around the hotel. Common areas looked good to meet people if a solo traveller and good wifi. Lovely staff. 

We arrived in the evening and had dinner downstairs. The salmon pasta was delicious (a little pricey but due to the isolated location it's not like you could easily pop into town for a bite so we didn't mind), lots of choice at the breakfast buffet and even better.. we were able to make a very decent sized lunch for the hike at breakfast with a DIY kind of station they provide if you buy a lunch token - big sandwiches, kit kat, apple and a drink in a brown paper bag. VERY convenient and well priced for what you get. 

The next morning: a free shuttle bus system on the doorstep where you can hop on in the early hours (3 options of 5.30am onwards I believe) and it takes you right to Trolltunga centre to start the hike, and pick you back up afterwards.

When we arrived back wet after the hike we were shown straight away to the communal drying room where we could hang up our boots, coats and trousers, to collect in the morning when dry. We had dinner again in the dining area and were able to return to our room in the evening to play a few games and have some drinks. 

All in all a perfect hotel for hikers and young travellers, but probably not for those seeking a luxurious stay!

Perfect for young travellers and in the BEST location for hiking Trolltunga

In October, the Fall, leaves become yellow and red, painting the scenario and turning the landscape into a dreamland. The hotel fits perfectly, right by the fjord, serving the best hot chocolate and Irish coffees of my trip. I melted into the softest duvets by my enormous window framing the mountains around the lake inhabited by swans.

View from the windows look like a dream

In preparation for Trolltunga hike, the best place to stay is Trolltunga hotel in Odda, Norway. It’s a basic hotel but with a very good view. Trolltunga Active has a partnership with the hotel, so they provide transport to the start point and etc. Hotel staff are warm and really helpful. The hotel room is slightly small but has everything that we need for a comfortable stay. Breakfast has a limited variety, but we stayed there during off-peak. Will define recommend for people doing Trolltunga hike.

Hotel with a nice view

Our family of four (two adults and two boys ages 15 and 19), stayed at the Trolltunga Hotel from August 12th-14th. It is a great hotel on the side of a lake with stunning views of the mountain and a river rushing by.
 
The main floor of Trolltunga Hotel has a spacious lounge and an outside terrace with views of the lake and the rapids. The lake that adjoins the hotel has a nice footpath to the right of the rapids, and we saw people walking to the town of Odda from the hotel. The town of Odda is 2.4km from the hotel, a 25 min walk and 5 min drive.
 
Wifi is free but only available in the public areas.
 
We reserved two double rooms each with a private bathroom. Our rooms were located on the first floor and we did not have to take any stairs to get to the rooms. My husband and I took the Double Room Plus (Room 121) with a double bed and a view to the whole valley of Odda while my boys shared Double Room Plus HC (Room 127) with a double and a single bed. Double Room Plus had a smaller bathroom while Double Room Plus (HC) had a larger bathroom with an open shower. Both rooms were basic and functional and had a chair with a small desk and TV. Beds were soft but comfortable and the shower was hot and powerful. Each of us had a carry on and a backpack so we had no issues with floor space after setting down our luggage. The rooms had a small coffee maker with a limited selection of tea, sugar and creamer.
 
The hotel provides you with soap and towels. Would definitely recommend bringing your own shampoo, conditioner and toothpaste instead of relying on the toiletries provided by the hotel.
 
We chose this hotel as we had booked a guided Trolltunga Hike through Trolltunga Active. The hotel serves as the meeting point for everyone joining one of the many Trolltunga Active tours the following day.
 
We rented a car in Stavanger and drove to Odda on August 12th. We arrived at the hotel in the evening. Parking at the hotel is free and after checking into our rooms we packed our backpacks for the big hike the next day. We were scheduled to attend the 9pm information session by Trolltunga Active and since it was late in the evening with no other options for restaurants nearby, we decided to have dinner at Trolltunga restaurant. The restaurant can be reached by taking a small set of stairs down and has a nice seating area with beautiful views of the river and valley. Each of us ordered a fish burger which was tasty and plenty to keep us full.
 
Breakfast buffet was included in the room rate and served from 6am-9:30am in the restaurant downstairs. I had read many negative reviews regarding the breakfast but was pleasantly surprised to have ample choices for our family considering we do not eat pork or ham. The breakfast was very basic but well laid out and consisted of the following items: two baskets of eggs (hard boiled and soft boiled), scrambled eggs, sausage, ham, wide variety of bread loaves, croissants, butter, jam, salmon, bell peppers, cucumbers, different kinds of cheese, mackerel, mayonnaise, yogurt, cereal, fruit, oatmeal, milk, coffee and tea.
 
For $17.50 extra/person, we were able to buy a lunch package for our Trolltunga Hike through the hotel. The lunch package includes a chocolate bar, a piece of fruit, and 6 sandwiches per person. Once the purchase for the lunch package is made, the hotel provides you with a lunch token which you can give to the staff at breakfast. They put the chocolate bar and fruit in a brown paper bag and you can make a very decent sized lunch for the hike at breakfast with a "Do It Yourself "kind of station. For our family of four we only bought two lunch packages as we thought that 12 sandwiches for 4 people would be more than enough. We drove to Rema 1000 , a few minutes from the hotel the night before the hike, to get some granola bars and chocolates which was sufficient. We found this option very convenient and well priced for what we got.
 
Location of the hotel for Trolltunga Hikers is perfect. It is conveniently located 20 mins from the P2 parking lot. This is where most people start the Trolltunga hike.
 
Note: You can save around 3 hours of hiking time (8km total) if you start the hike at P3. This can be accomplished by either taking the shuttle bus from Skjeggedal (P2) to Mågelitopp (P3) or by reserving a parking space at P3. People who do not have a trip booked through Trolltunga Active but have a rental car, can purchase/reserve a parking spot at P3. Space is limited so it is better to reserve the parking spot in advance. Another option is to park your rental car at P2 and book the shuttle bus to P3. Shuttle buses between P2 Skjeggedal and P3 Mågelitopp are operated by the company Trolltunga-Road Bus and the return ticket from P3 to P2 can be purchased once you are on the morning bus on the way to P2. 

Please note that everyone who drives from Tyssedal (P1) to Skjeggedal (P2) MUST pay tolls before driving up to P3. The toll road is paid on P2 before the drive up to P3. 
 
Another piece of important information is that reserving a parking spot at P3 and driving a car to P3 gives slow hikers more flexibility. If for some reason, it takes you a little longer to complete the hike, you can still drive your car from P3 since the parking lot is open until midnight. Reserving a shuttle bus from P3 to P2, offers less flexibility for hikers who are a little slow. The last shuttle from P3 to P2 departs at 7pm in the month of August and if you do not make it to the P3 parking lot in time, then you have to walk an extra 4km down to P2 to get to your car. This is what happened to our family :)
 
We left the hotel at 7am the day of our hike and parked our car at the P2 parking lot around 7:25am. We met Jostein from Trolltunga Active at P2 and took the shuttle to P3 where we started our hike. We made it back to P3 by 8pm and by that time there was no option to take the shuttle bus back to P2. We had to walk all the way to P2 which took us another hour. Even if the tour is booked through Trolltunga Active, the shuttle buses are operated by another company and the return leg from P3 to P2 is only guaranteed if the hikers complete the hike before the last shuttle bus departure from P3. 
 
For us, it was a long but enjoyable day and we arrived at the hotel around 10pm. We asked our guide to call the hotel around 9:15pm and place our dinner orders. We ordered pumpkin soup and 3 venison dishes. The hotel staff was very kind to have us sit in their restaurant and have dinner after the restaurant was closed.
 
All in all, we had a nice stay. The only negative thing I have to say about the hotel is that the staff at the reception during check in was not very friendly.  

I would recommend this hotel to hikers and young travelers, but probably not for those seeking a luxurious stay! We would definitely stay at Trolltunga Hotel if we return to Odda.

Good Hotel Base for Trolltunga Hike!!!

This hotel survives on guests taking Trolltunga Active  tours.  It serves as the meeting point the night before tours.  The rooms are tiny, and you shouldn't expect to have any floor space, especially after you set down your luggage.  Beds are soft and lacking in support.  Expect the entire bathroom including sink, toilet, and door to get soaked during your shower (hence the squeegee in the shower).  Breakfast was depleted and ran out of most items at 9AM.  The dinner was good, and I recommend the fish burger which was juicy and delicious.  Rooms do not have wifi but the lobby does.   The public shuttle doesn't always stop at this hotel so the schedule is limited if you don't have a car.   Rooms have private or shared bathroom.  There is only one shared shower/ toilet on the fourth floor.  Not any nearby restaurants besides the one in the hotel.  Overall, convenient for those taking the Trolltunga Active tours, otherwise would stay somewhere else.

Good stay if you are taking a Trolltunga Active tour

Trolltunga wasn't the best hotel we stayed at in Norway, but it had it's own charms, and you can't beat the location.  This is base camp for your explorations into the mountains, you are going to be too exhausted to really do anything but sleep at the hotel.  

The basic room was pretty small and bare bones, but everything was clean and the staff was very nice.  Breakfast was fantastic, and if you are polite they will let you basically make a lunch from the selection for your hike that day.

Worth it for the location

A neat little jewel hidden away by the river in Odda. Rooms come with gorgeous views, the hotel has excellent parking nearby and the breakfast was very delicious. Paying a little extra for the rooms with en-suites is definitely worth it, however all communal areas, including showers and lavatories, are kept clean and tidy. The only downside was that some of the staff in reception seemed a bit bothered whenever we'd approach them, be it for a drink or an extra pillow. 

All in all, great affordable choice when going to Odda and Hardanger.
