Preikestolen BaseCamp | Hotel in Strand Municipality, Western Fjords

“Clean room, convenient facilities, nice restaurant, friendly staff, especially Arturs the young man at reception. I injured my knee in a fall, and he kindly brought me an ice pack and kept checking on me to see if i needed anything. He also let me resr on the sofa in tje restaurant until my companions cane back down the mountain. I was truly touched by his kindness and thoughtfulness.”

“The hotel is convenience to hiking trail of Preikestolen and view is super. We had dinner at restaurant, first Norwegian food we tasted in Norway, we love it and breakfast had a lot of selection. We loved to stay here.”

“The room i stayed in was small but manageable. Good food and friendly staff.”

“This is best mountain lodge if you want to hike the Preikestolen trail. The food is amazing and the rooms cozy, clean and has the best view. We stayed in the lodge for 3 nights in August 2026 and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The feeling that our teenage son was able to walk back to the room and chill while we were still on the trail was very convenient and worked out well.”

“Communal showers / bathroom. Friendly and helpful staff.”

“The best thing about this property is its immediate location next to the Pulpit Rock trailhead. It also has a beautiful location overlooking the lake. The restaurant food was passable but not great. I'm not sure whether affiliated with the hotel but the hiker's shop and food / snack facilities on either side of the trail entrance were excellent. Our two main critiques....First, .the room we were provided did NOT match the pictures on the website. This is at best a backpackers hostel.....if you are expecting hotel accommodations do not book. We had less than a meter space between the bunkbeds and the wall in either direction and it was extremely cramped for two people to be in the room at the same time other than sleeping. Picture below deck 3rd class accommodations in the movie Titanic and you'll get the picture. We actually left in the late afternoon to stay in Stavenger rather than stay the second night that we had already paid for, in order to get a good night's sleep. The other issue is that parking is very remote from the bunk houses. So if you have suitcases at all (and not just backpacks) getting everything to your room is a haul over gravel. It appears that they provided wheel barrows that some people used. There is a staff parking lot that could be used as a luggage drop off but it is gated with no guest access. I don't know why they don't at least allow it to be used as a drop off / pick up point.”

“Clean place with a beautiful surroundings. Separate beds and bathrooms are the only inconvenience.”

“Very nice aria, beautiful”

“Great place, lovely. Nice base for hiking.”

“The breakfast package containing a Sandwich, a bottle with water and a piece of chocolate is severely overpriced. The room have no space or possibility to hang dry hikers wet garment after a day in the rain.”
