Very nice hotel, very friendly and smiley staff, they helped with everything we asked for.  everything in the room looked new, better still than the pictures. Amazing view of the fjord. We loved every minute of our stay!

Wonderful Hotel !!

Continuing on our journey we stopped at Hordatun Hotel which is located at ski resort seemingly in the middle of nowhere.  This hidden gem of a hotel had a great cafe and the rooms were incredible.  We were in a massive room with a full kitchen and living room.  The bedroom was in an open loft.  The rooms looked out to the mountain side which was beautiful.

Hidden Gem!

Some of the previous reviews seem unnecessarely harsh to me. Yes, the apartments are privately owned, not all private owners have a high budget or much taste, so also the apartment we were assigned too was not nicely decorated, a bit empty, and had almost exclusively IKEA furniture and hardware. But, the apartment was clean, decent, spacious, comfortable, everything required was present, and it wasn't thát ugly, really. Even had a dishwasher and a washing machine. And free wifi.

Plus, the prices were very reasonable. You're not paying for a 5 star hotel, so you shouldn't be expecting 5 star hotel quality. The price matches the quality.

The restaurant serves very simple food, with the prices to match. Three types of pizza with 4 additional toppings to choose from, and 3-4 standard Norwegian dishes. We ate there for 400 NK with our family of 4 people. 

The area is one of my favourite in Norway. Here you have everything within a 30-40 minute drive: gletchers, plateaus, spectacular hiking trails, the fjords, skiing (even summer skiing), the hadangervidda, and even the coast could be reached in a day trip. Yet it isn't so ridiculously touristy as the Sognefjord area up north of the Telemarken to the east. Don't understand why though, in my opinion this region os much more beautiful and interesting as telemarken. 

Decent apartment!

This is the third time we stay in this hotel. First time we do it in the Summer. The staff is very friendly, rooms are spacious, clean and have everything you need. The views and walks from hotel are amazing. Great spot to stay in with family and do day trips from.
Hotel has kayaks available for booking in advance in the clean and beautiful just minutes from the hotel.

Friendly Staff and Beautiful Location

We were driving through Odda and that region. That area is so super touristy (all due to the popularity of Troll tunga) that we kept driving on through. I booked in advance a room at Hordatun Hotel. The online site had made it very interesting. "every room has a view". Indeed this was true. The hotel is convex arc shaped facing the fjord and the mountains. We had room #109 which was sort of in the center on the main floor. One has to exit the hotel lobby to outside, then walk to an exterior door to enter the room. It is a very big room and indeed more like an apartment; kitchen, dining room, living room and bedroom. We also had a balcony and a fantastic view of the mountains. However, due to the curvature of the hotel the "apartment" is very odd shaped. Very narrow at the entry side and widest at the balcony side, like a trapezoid. The flat screen TV did not work at all. The light over the dining room table did not work either. The bedroom was so tiny that there was no room to walk around the sides, basically filled 90% of the floor space. There was a couch that opened to a bed in the middle of the room that was already opened, made up and ready for sleeping. We chose to sleep there. It was so uncomfortable that I got up at 3AM and slept on the couch instead.
The main highway runs directly in front of the hotel, so when a semi truck goes by (frequently) it is very loud as they are often engine braking going down the hill into Roldal. We also had dinner here since there is no other restaurant around here. You have to order at the hotel desk/bar and they bring it to you. Very limited menu (4-5 items) but a Norwegian style meal that wasn't too bad but expensive for what was received. We didn't use the kitchen at all because 1. it wasn't very well stocked with needed items and 2. there is no grocery store around to buy any food anyway. 

When we went to breakfast (included with the room) it was not very good at all. Limited variety of food, cold and hard scrambled eggs (left overs?), sour milk (I asked someone to replace it which they did), coffee was stale and bitter. 

This hotel is painted all dark brown and orange, reminiscent of the 1970s. They even have a Ford tractor painted all orange. The hotel was very sparsely filled, maybe 15% of the rooms so it was fairly quiet rooms wise. We were lured here by the balcony (though too cold outside to use it) and the view (very nice), but the rest of the experience gives it a low mark. I would not recommend staying here.

Privately owned small apartments that the hotel rents out as rooms.

We rented an apartment for two nights and our rental included a ~90 Euro cleaning fee. For this ridiculous amount we expected to see something amazing in terms of cleanliness, but the apartment was dirty and dusty. Kitchen utensils were so used up that you could not even see the non-stick layer on the frying pan. A knife was broken and a half-broken kettle was so dirty that I didn’t want to touch it at all. So in the end at a price of 4-star European hotel we got quality of a cheap motel.
