I stayed at this hotel with my wife for just one night, during our summer tour in Norway. The hotel has a great view over the fjord, BUT don't take it for granted. What I am trying to say is that the huge cruise ships which sail night and day to Eidfjord in summer months, dock in front of the hotel and block the entire view. So, if you pay the price for a fjord-looking room you may end up watching ..a ship and nothing more. The hotel is well built, the rooms are clean and the beds are comfortable but (as it happens with the majority of hotels in Norway) it is overpriced for what it offers. To be fair, there is a good breakfast and a good (and expensive) dinner buffet, but we found out the room service to be really poor. When we needed a hairdryer (there wasn't in the standard room equipment !) and I phoned to the reception to send us one, they told me that they have noone to send and I should go myself down and take it. There was noone to carry our baggage, not a single computer for the clients, no safebox and generally the staff was not willing and friendly. And all these from a hotel with a daily price of 215 euros !!! You can really find a better value for money hotel in the surrounding area.

It is the best hotel in town... well it's the only hotel in town ;) Hotel is located on the Fjord. The tourist office is about 100 meters away. The dinner A la Carte was realy very good. Didn't like the lobby, no minibar, bar wasn't open either. Had to ask the staff in the lobby for a beer and tea. They don't have a guest computer and will send you to the tourist office where they have 2 (you will have to pay).

We picked this hotel because of its position, but that's all it has going for it. There's nothing of Quality beyond that. Senior staff were unfriendly, generally ignored us, non-existent at breakfast. Young staff on Reception were good. 2nd night, at 11pm I had to call reception to complain about noise of loud music. She said that the bar was open, musicians in, and it would finish at 3am. No sleep after that. The rooms weren't soundproof anyway - she told me to close my windows - you could hear everything from neighbours and our door constantly banged when others opened theirs. Breakfast is limited, but okay. Rooms were overheated, so we had windows and door open. Hotel has no facilities within it, as others along the fjords seem to.. however, there's a lovely cafe and pensione at Vik Pensjonat which we used for lunch and early dinner, staff are friendly and welcoming, and I'd suggest that to anyone rather than (No) Quality for too much money.

I stayed at Quality Hotel & Resort Vøringsfoss in August 2007 - and I must say I absolutely loved this hotel. The hotel is beautifully situated in Eidfjord, right by the Hardangerfjord. The hotel's name - Vøringsfoss - sort of implies that the hotel is situated by the Vøringsfoss waterfalls, but you'll have to drive 20 km or so up through the Måbø valley to get to the waterfalls.

We had booked a standard double room - but the room we got was huge, quite a bit bigger than the other standard rooms so we must have got an upgrade. Our *very* spacious room had two wonderfully comfy beds, a work desk - and a seating area (sofa, two chairs and table) by the big windows, with lovely views of the fjord. Our room (#421, I think) was on the top floor, and the view was excellent - ask for a room on the upper floors if you want a great view. WiFi is available throughout the hotel, free of charge, and the connection was fast and reliable - pick up an access code from the reception. The entire hotel is non-smoking.

The buffet breakfast was very good - as in most Scandinavian hotels in this price range. A decent selection of breads, crispbreads and crackers, cereals, yogurt, fruits, cheese, cold meat, eggs - and of course an opportunity to try some Norwegian specialties such as kaviar and brunost - brown cheese.

Quality Hotel & Resort Vøringsfoss is pricey - expect to pay around 1500 NOK for a double room in the main tourist season - but I'd say it's worth it. The location is beautiful, the staff was very friendly and helpful, and our room was simply perfect.
