My son and I really enjoyed our stay here. The food is great and it’s just wonderful to get into warm shower and eat yummy food after a day’s hike. The staff are ever so kind and helpful, starting from running into one staff at Kolumbus bus station to ask for assistance to making sure our stay was enjoyable. Thank you!!!

We loved our stay here. We had one of the larger rooms and it was worth the extra. Great location and great view.

Excellent place to stay before your hike. Cafe, restaurant, gift shop located by BaseCamp. Nice view of a lake below

Hotel très bien placé et bien tenu.

we stayed in both the hostel building and the main hotel and the hotel is much nicer but the hostel has a good feel too--really helpful staff and a gorgeous lake. Only suggestion is you ca hear the restaurant music in some of the rooms so maybe turn it down a little at 8? but a great experience and the easiest way to really get into the Norwegian countryside.

This is just the best place to see the Norwegian countryside. If you’re rugged just rent in the hostel house — everything super clesn there also!

Excellent

Best location to stay for visiting Preikesolen. Bueatiful lake view.

The location was perfect for the hiking. Sleeping in bunkbed was fun experience though.

The fire alarm box started making sounds, as it had a fault on it at 03:00 in the morning. This also meant that there was no lights or electricity in any of the rooms, as it only left the emergency light on.

This hotel was the perfect base camp for hiking to Preikestolen. The lake setting is beautiful and there is kayaking and disc golf and many different hikes. The hike up to Pulpit Rock has three steep step inclines met with meadows and wide rock spaces. The hike is worth every step for the stunning and memorable views. It's quite an experience to look over the side of a cliff down about 2,000 feet. The hotel is rustic with it's front steps at the trailhead. The staff are helpful and friendly (thank you Adam and Natallia!). Most surprising feature in this hiking type lodge was the incredible dinners. The Norwegian food is prepared as in a five star restaurant and a had to thank the chef for the Asparagus soup and the meatball and vegetables main course. The room is comfortable with a nice lake view. A great stay!

This is the best hotel for Pulpit Rock hiking. The service and breakfast are very good. The only thing is it is not very quiet because some people need to get up very early to hike to Pulpit Rock.

So beautiful!

Food in the restaurant was excellent

My teenage daughter and I spent one night here in June 2025 and it was a great stay! We arrived in the evening and the self-check-in didn’t work because we booked through Hotels.com so we had to check-in at the “Barception”. Then we had dinner at the restaurant—only a few options but good food and amazing views. Room was clean and neat. The Hiker Cafe the next day was awesome. Overall great stay.

This hotel has an incredible location right at the trail head to Pulpit Rock. The area is truly beautiful. I was a bit put off by a few things during my stay. The reason we chose to stay here as it was quite expensive was because on expedia they advertise that they have a floating sauna. I naively thought this meant that guests could go to the floating sauna for free. That is not the case at all. It was rather embarassing we changed into our bathing suits and walked all the way down to the floating sauna (which is about 1km walk) only to discover we were interrupting a couple who informed us that you have to pay to use the sauna and book your own time slot. We walked 1km up to the activity center and asked and it was very expensive. There is no discount for hotel guests and we were not in the position to pay that much to use a sauna. I asked at the hotel and they said that they have their own sauna and hot tub but its closed until June. I was also surprised that there is no actual parking for hotel guests anywhere close to the hotel and you park with all the other hikers. There is nowhere to drop off luggage and I had a giant suitcase (I regretted that choice) and the parking lot is a dirt/gravel road. So don’t bring a wheely suitcase here! I also thought it was ridiculous that you had to pay for coffee in the lobby despite being a guest. Normally hotels have complimentary coffee for their guests. It just felt like were being nickle and dimed despite a high room rate.

Quick, clean, beautiful view.

Beautiful location, convient amenities and a superb hike to the top of Preikestole

Wir hatten ein Doppelzimmer mit einem tollen Blick auf den See. Das Zimmer war sehr geräumig und sauber. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Der Start zur Preikestolenwanderung ist direkt am Hotel und die Parkplatzgebühr von 300 NOK inklusive

Väldigt fin och trevlig plats. Dock hade jag önskat att stugan kunde ha lite mer i köksvägen för att göra egen frukost. Men annars rekommenderar jag detta stället om ni ska bestiga preikestolen
