Lying at the heart of Norway’s Western Fjord area, Hordaland is home to culturally rich Bergen, the country’s second largest city. Hardangerfjord, Norway’s second-longest fjord (and the third-longest in the world), is here too, and cruising along its scenic 110 miles is a top area activity. Leirvik, the second-biggest town in Hordaland, has the interesting open-air Sunnhordland Folk Museum. Set atop one of the country’s biggest glaciers, Folgefonna National Park has a popular summer ski center.

Situated in Roldal, Odda municipality, by Lake Roldalsvatnet, Hordatun Hotel offers international cuisine in the restaurant year around - and a bar with regular live entertainment during the winter season. All apartments and rooms include a balcony or terrace, and Wi-Fi and parking are free. Hotel Hordatun's rooms (62) and apartments (36) feature tea and coffee making facilities, cable TV access and a seating area with sofa. All apartments and rooms have a fully equipped kitchen.

Hordatun is just 5 minutes' drive from Roldal Ski Centre (shuttle bus during the winter weekends) - one of the ski centers in Norway with the longest seasons and "the Deepest snow in Europe" open from end of November to the first weekend of May. In Roldal village center 4km away you will find the Roldal Stave Church; one of Norway's 28 Stave Churches still standing. Roldal is a good location for exploring the area; hiking the Pulpit Rock in the Lysefjord, the Trolltunga in Tyssedal, the Hardangervidda, Hardanger and also offers great hiking trails options during the season June - September.
Privately owned small apartments that the hotel rents out as rooms.
Reviewed By traveltheworld012We 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.

Excellent Place to Stay!
Reviewed By colinmc12Awesome location near restaurants, grocery store, and bus stop. Apartment was clean and modern. Stayed two nights and would definitely recommend. The apartment room I stayed in had a washer, which came in handy.

Una ciudad encantadora
Reviewed By Alberto MES un apart, como todos los lugares que conservan su tradición, no es posible construir sino en altura. Tiene escaleras, pero el vikingo que atendía era capaz de cargar las maletas y la familia también. Excelente predisposición para atender, se preocupó en todo momento por nuestra estancia, y taxis cuando lo necesitamos. Muy bien equipado el apartamento, recomendable

Modern hotell - very suitable for mc, and all others
Reviewed By 782piapThe hotel is modern and very nice, easy to find in the centre of town. We came late and they laft a key for us. We had a room at the back were the main entrance is, so nice with an entrance to our room from the outside (and inside of course). That made it easy to unload all our stuff from our motorbikes and had a short way to carry it. And we parked just outside or room where we could see the bikes!! Everything is renovated, it is clean, has a tv, ad the bath room was nice too. We were alone at breakfast rom, that had view over a lake. Ordinary bur good breakfast There is several stores/shops and a lagre parking lot on this side, but they did`n bother us
5. Glesver Rorbu
Overall Ratings
5 based on 10 reviews
Stay in a Fisherman house at the old merchant town of Glesvaer. We have two types of apartments, one with two bedroms (total four people) and the other with three bedrooms (total six persons). We have 17/18 feet boats available for rental. With a unique conference building by the coastline, this is an excellent place for small conferences, sales meetings, team building exercises and other arrangements. We have a close cooperation with the cozy cafe, Glesvær Kafe.
not your typical hotel getaway
Reviewed By Ross Twanted something authentic and certainly received that here. the fishing cabins were ideal for a peaceful break with spectacular views. all amenities included. staff really kind and helpful. would be perfect for family and friends as the cabins are big enough and with the location next to the restaurant perfect for a stress free time if you dont want to cook.

OTTIMO
Reviewed By fabiana cPer 44 euro abbiamo trascorso una notte in una graziosa hytta, molto luminosa, calda e pulita... altrettanto erano i bagni in comune (ma noi non abbiamo mai incrociato nessuno). Personale molto gentile. Colazione strepitosa.

Bergen
Reviewed By Silvia CAppartamenti situati in maniera perfetta e pratica per visitare la città. Le stanze all'interno sono chiuse ma piccine, ma comode e pratiche mentre le zone comuni sono belle, ben attrezzate e molto ampie. Sicuramente consiglaito.
