Hardangerfjord Hotel  

Perched on Norway’s Hardangerfjord in Oystese (Kvam), this family-friendly hotel sits steps from Hardangerbadet and the fjord. It’s about 8 km from the town center and within easy reach of Norheimsund Harbour and the Hardanger Maritime Museum — a tidy base for Folgefonna Glacier excursions.

Newly renovated in a modern Nordic style, the property has 87 snug guest rooms with flat-screen TVs, safes, hairdryers and air conditioning. Many rooms offer balconies or terraces on request, plus seating areas and private baths or showers. Common spaces include comfy lounges and a garden terrace with views toward the Folgefonna Glacier. The hotel is wheelchair-accessible with an elevator, 24-hour reception and multilingual staff.

Take a dip in the indoor pool or hit the aquapark (surcharge), then unwind in the sauna or the on-site gym. There’s a restaurant, bars/lounges and a garden terrace to sip and watch the fjord light change. Free self-parking is available nearby and Wi‑Fi is offered in public areas. Wake up to fjord-misted mornings from rooms with balconies or step outside for glacier views.

Conference and meeting facilities make this a practical spot for board meetings or events. The hotel offers a 24-hour front desk, luggage storage, tour assistance and complimentary wireless internet to keep you connected.

On-site restaurant serves a large selection of local food and beverages, and there are bars for evening drinks. A complimentary buffet breakfast is served on weekdays from 7:00–10:00 and on weekends from 7:30–10:30, with local flavors showcased throughout the menu.
