Varaldsøy, Kvinnherad hotel rooms at the Independent

"I stayed for two nights in late July. Check in was super easy. It's across from the fjord and 3 minutes from the grocery and wine shops. It's a few steps to a bar and local restaurants. In other words, great location! It's a tad dated in the room but very comfortable. Breakfast was great. Very good coffee. Definitely recommend."

"The room was clean and well maintained. The shared washrooms were also very clean. There is also a faucet and sink in the room as well. The staff was helpful as well. The breakfast in general is excellent. This is one of very few possible stays in Rosendal. As Rosendal is a small town, it was expected that the hotel is less polished. But the hotel is very clean from the inside. However, there will be bugs (flies/gnatts) in the summer. Don't know if it is a good or bad thing. There were signs saying "This hotel is for sale" during my visit."

"Nice view, good value"

"Located in the most scenic place on earth. Rented a canoe from the front desk in the morning for a cheap rate and had a lovely time. Thanks Will come again"
