Best hotel for Pulpit Rock hiking
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.

Best place to stay for Pulpit Rock
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.

Excellent lodge for a lifetime experience
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!

No sleep
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.

Overpriced hostel with great view
"Economy rooms" are not hotel rooms, but hostel style. Beds very dirty, ear buds handed out since walls and ceilings paper thin. Restaurant in the hotel offers good menu but very uneven quality. Breakfast ran out of all warm dishes half way through its service.

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.

Kun placering. Men for dyrt.
Der var en virkelig sød person på dagen. Resten af personale og service var ikke særligt godt. Stedet er alt for dyrt ift hvad man får i hovedhuset. Små værelser, lille bad, mørkt rum, ikke god service. Restauranten lavede god mad.
Men god placering og kun det man kommer for. Man bør måske tage sovesalen eller hytte som er billigere. Man får ikke noget specielt ekstra ved de dyre værelser.

Smuk fjellstue lige ved Preikestolen
Vi havde et godt ophold, i den "billige" afdeling, med køjesenge og dele bad og toilet. Bygningen med disse værelser ligger ned mod vandet, lidt seperat fra hovedbygningen.
Der er lidt lydt så man skal tage hensyn til hinanden, da det er en gammel, autentisk fjellstue bebyggelse. Men det er også en meget charmerende bygning.
Madrasserne var overraskende komfortable.
Der var håndvask på værelset, alt var pænt rent, også dele faciliteterne.
Der er en fælles "fjellstue" hvor man kan spise inde (der er også en elkedel (+kaffe og te) til afbenyttelse), ellers er der også mange gode udeområder.
Parkeringen ved Preikestolen (275) er inkluderet i prisen

Skønt skønt
Hele området og konceptet er helt fantastisk. Værelserne i Preikestolshytten er dog meget små og vi havde køjeseng. Men det var også bare enormt autentisk, så det skal ikke trække ned. Der var også det fineste opholdsrum vi kunne være i - med skøn udsigt.
Vi havde super godt vejr i de tre dage (2 overnatninger vi var der og badede i den skønne sø. Vi tog også en aften-vandretur rundt om søen, som viste sig at være mere krævende end forventet - men super smuk.
Preikestolen turen var virkelig skøn.
Men jeg vil fremhæven Matsalen - restauranten… som serverede den skønneste laks og har det sødeste personale. Alt i alt nogle fantastiske dage… og husk, hvis du overnatter her, så er der gratis parkering (som er ret dyr for dags turistet)
