Accomodation was overall ok, parking easy and good location for access to Lysefjord and hiking. The room could have been cleaner, there were hairs that did not belong to us on the bedsheets and curtains.

Don’t be fooled by the outside!!
Beautiful from the outside but don’t be fooled!! No main light in the room just two bedside table lights so got ready in the dark every morning! Probably good that there wasn’t a light as I’m not sure how clean it was! Bed made on the first morning but not the second morning! Reported a leak from under the bathroom sink but it wasn’t fixed!! Some cheap shower gel in the bathroom - one empty bottle and one which was sticky and covered in contents of the bottle!! No hand soap or shampoo and wasn’t keen on even touching the shower gel there which meant I had to venture to the supermarket to buy some! Lumpy pillows and the bedsheets had a nasty smell! You could hear every movement in the hotel!! Breakfast not good, coffee drinkable!! Beautiful view from the room though and a lovely restaurant across the road!

Extremely unhygienic, dead cockroach, smelly washeroom, I wouldn't touch anything in there, it was so dirty I couldn't even touch hair dryer and there was no towels only 2 hand towels. When I complained, front desk staff started arguing! Old bitten up place, they were hiding fallen wall decoration behind TV. Not a hotel, it's a B&B. I don't know how they are in business still and why there's no health inspection on them 🙄 absolutely worst

The location was just beautiful overlooking the fjord. The frustration we had was that we had booked the family room which was basically with two connecting rooms. We needed a key to the room in order to operate the electricity. The person at the front desk only gave us one key so our son's in the second room did not have electricity. The amenities in the bathroom were very sparce with little toilet paper and we could not find the plug in the bathroom to plug in the hairdryer. When we went back down to the front desk to ask for some help the front desk did not open up again until the breakfast in the morning. The breakfast however was one of the best we have had on our 3-week trip. Parking was on property and very easy.

Friendly staff and comfortable room.
I stayed for 3 night's and found it very friendly and comfortable. Good choice for breakfast and location was very nice. The only thing I would recommend would be tea and coffee making facilities in the room so you don't have to go to the dining room or kitchen to make a drink. Note that there are no evening meals available here, but lovely restaurant opposite the hotel. (Closed Monday's whilst I was there in November)
2 minutes walk from hotel

After a long day of hiking this is a great place to crash. Don’t expect any entertaining in your rooms because our rooms are very small. The rooms were very comfortable. The bathroom was updated and a very good size with great water pressure. Breakfast was a surprise with plenty of options for the entire family. The staff was helpful and very courteous. If you are expecting a place with huge rooms and televisions this will not be the place for you. If you’re into a comfortable bed a nice shower and a great breakfast you might consider this as an option.

Good for a night stay, but...
The rooms are exactly as described and the breakfast is great. However, the hotel maintenance level could be largely improved - half of the lightbulbs in the room were missing (so the room was too dark) and the shower gel container was empty for example. Not what you had expected given the price paid.

Comfortable, friendly, delicious restaurant!
We were warmly welcomed to this hotel by a very friendly gentleman who quickly checked us in. Our room was on the third floor which we easily reached using the unique elevator! The room was small but adequate. It was very clean. The bathroom, which had a shower, had a heated floor. We ate at the small restaurant in the hotel. We both had the salmon (there were only 3 choices) and our meals were superb! The topping on the salmon was very flavorful while not overpowering the fish. The potatoes and vegetables were well prepared also. My wife has some dietary issues and the chef accommodated her. The friendly desk clerk was now the friendly waiter and answered our many questions about Norway. The breakfast was typical, with everything fresh and delicious. We definitely recommend this little recently renovated gem of a hotel!

Great stay in delightful Jørpeland
Central location, clean and friendly staff. I stayed in the single room and whilst it was very small, the bathroom was a great size and very clean. Bed was super comfy although there was just a flat sheet on the mattress, no fitted sheet so it was moving during the night. No TV in room (there is a communal TV room) but I wasn’t in my room long enough to mgo as having TV, too much to do outdoors. Staff were accommodating with a few breakfast items before the official breakfast start time when we had to leave very early.

Close to Pulpits Rock
We stayed here to be close to Pulpits Rock so we could get an early start in the morning. The Hotel was run by 2 staff who served us dinner and breakfast which was very nice. They were very friendly and helpful. We needed some assistance with finding a pharmacy and they gave us good advice. We were on the top floor. The lift is interesting. They also had a small kitchen on each floor, but not really suitable for cooking much.

Charming hotel perfect for Pulpit Rock visit
This hotel was a pleasant surprise. I was expecting a basic experience based on price but was blown away by the location and views from my room. The restaurant on site serves lunch and dinner. We had a delicious dinner the night we arrived and the complimentary breakfast was great too. The staff is very friendly and helped us out with tips for our Pulpit rock hike.

Great location, needs management improvements
The rooms were extremely small, even by European standards. We booked two rooms months in advance and were promised partial water views. One room was below grade and had a view of the dumpster, the other only had a view of the neighboring building. We were told there were no more rooms until we pushed and suddenly one was found. When we reported that neither the wi-fi nor the TV were working, the front desk acted surprised. We were the ones surprised when we learned from other guests that neither had been working for days. The free breakfast was adequate, but paled in comparison to others we had in Norway. The proximity to Pulpit Rock was fantastic, but the lack of any other restaurants in Jorpeland was disappointing.
