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 tiny 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) 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. (You'll find more about those on my Norway page)
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.
