The best accommodations Nord-Norge

Located next to the tourist office, facing the port, this very large concrete building painted white houses 174 rooms and a bar-restaurant. If the charm is not really there and the decoration is not so modern, the rooms are extremely comfortable and the welcome is excellent. The staff is smiling, friendly and always there to inform you. The hotel is centrally located, close to shops, bars and restaurants, just a few steps away.

Comfortable and inexpensive hotel located 400 m from the centre of Tromsø. The common areas of the hotel and the rooms are very nice, the decoration is simple in a Scandinavian style, modern and warm. The rooms are fully equipped with standard amenities. The guesthouse has 20 small rooms. From the common lounge you can see the cathedral across the bridge. A central and very convenient accommodation option. It is possible to reserve a parking space if you arrive by car. Breakfast is included, as is wifi.

Located near the airport, this brand-new hotel from the Moxy chain (Marriott Hotels) combines design inspired by the surrounding nature with comfort at reasonable prices. Opening in June 2023, its 208 rooms are all equipped with walk-in showers and flat-screen TVs, but it's the large picture windows overlooking the fjord that make this establishment truly unique. In the Sky Bar Moxy on the ^11th floor, games and table soccer are available. And on the roof terrace, you can watch the northern lights through the telescope...

F2 offers different types of accommodation, from rooms to apartments, only in the centre of Harstad. Of course the decoration is not very original, but the rooms are fully equipped, and the comfort is there for a very good price! You also have access to a common room with TV on the first floor. No receptionist, you will do a very simple self-check in before you can settle in. Close to all shops and activities, F2 is a good compromise between comfort and low prices.

Like most Lapland towns, Alta is surrounded by beautiful nature. Its location makes it an almost obligatory stopover, so it's ideal to stay as close to nature and the river as possible. Just outside the town in the direction of Kautokeino, this campsite rents small chalets and double, triple and quadruple rooms, basic but functional! Reception open 24 hours a day in the small grocery store which also sells fishing permits for the secondary rivers of the Alta. A nice stopover in perspective.

Since 1992, a small tourist office operates in this hostel of 55 rooms spread in several houses. The main building, with peat roof, is decorated with a Twin Peaks style shooter of Hitchcock's "Psychosis". By entering the restaurant, we're staring at the nose with an impressive number of stuffed animals, including a lynx, an elk to the mighty horns, an Arctic hare, a snow partridge and a wolverine— a great predator. In the living room in the large fireplace, two wooden poles are carved with the sami characters, in the way of a totem. On the side of the terrace, there is a breathtaking view of the fjord at the bottom of the mountain.

By continuing on the E 6, the views are superb on the fjord and the Lyngen Alps to the snow-capped peaks. The Narrows valley of Signaldal with lush vegetation is dominated by the characteristic summits of the Otertind.

Just a few meters from the port, these recently renovated apartments have all the comforts. The establishment also offers a restaurant. A vast wooden terrace, a part sheltered from rain and wind, just a few dishes on the menu, including a seafood platter, or a delicious fish soup whose recipe the owner jealously guards. The place is as restful as it is enchanting. Here, more than at the North Cape (full of tourists), one has the feeling of being at the end of the world. The ideal place to set off on an adventure and escape the daily grind!

Here's a pretty cheap option. The rooms are rather rudimentary, but they offer a good level of comfort and are very well located, on the port, facing the crystal clear sea and the surrounding islands. You will also have the option to book a rorbu, a traditional fisherman's hut. The place is idyllic, less crowded than the North Cape and favourable to relaxation and rejuvenation. The company organizes many guided tours to discover the birds of the surrounding area by boat, a must if you are thinking of staying in Gjesvaer!

Outside the city. About 100 tent sites and nearly 200 caravan sites. On the spot, a grocery store and a café. It is rather spartan but there is nevertheless all the necessary comfort to stay a few nights or a week. And anyway, you don't go there to stay inside. If possible, in Norway, try to move according to the weather, follow the sun, even if it means changing your plans. Your vacation will be even better, and that's how the locals do it!

One of the few buildings not to have been destroyed during the war, the Grand Royal Hotel is located halfway between the railway station and the central square. In the heart of the city, a strategic position. Imposing 6-storey building, 107 rooms are available, sober and modern decor. The hotel is comfortable and complies with the chain's standards. On the ground floor, its restaurant, the Royal Blue, offers international cuisine in a chic and cosy atmosphere.

This cozy little inn is a family-run wooden house overlooking the town. Completely renovated, its modern Scandinavian decor creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The rooms are beautiful and, above all, very comfortable, with private toilets and bathrooms. From the terrace, there's a lovely view of the fjord opposite and the snow-capped mountains, ideal for breakfast or a mid-day break. A great option in Narvik.

A small hotel located in the city centre on a street parallel to the main Storgata street. Bright, modern rooms with shower, toilet and flat screen TV, including breakfast.

Probably the cheapest way to sleep. A set of small complexes of cabins and fishermen's huts scattered around the island's villages.

It also serves as a sports hall (with free entry to the sauna and instruments for guests), an auditorium, a bar and a meeting place for the local community. The ideal place to get to know the local population and get a better idea of life in these remote regions, not to mention the proximity to nature, always!

Just a few kilometers from Karasjok, located between Alta and Karasjok, 70 km between the two towns, this 54-single-room complex is lost between hiking trails and stretches of water. At the crossroads of two rivers, the setting is idyllic and tranquil! Lovers of nature and unspoiled spaces will be delighted in any season! The wooden chalets are rustic but renovated and functional, ideal for a stay in the green according to the local way of life!

After Alta, Kirkenes is the^2nd city in Norway to propose a hotel in ice. It is difficult to make more disorienting! A hotel not quite like the others since it is entirely made of ice and snow! Those who don't want to sleep there can always visit the place, which is quite magical since the interior is decorated with impressive sculptures. The hotel is a real work of art. The hotel also offers dog sledding excursions, to make your trip to the Great North an unforgettable adventure.

The large, red building at the entrance to Honningsvåg houses the youth hostel. If you are coming by bus, please inform the driver, who will drop you off nearby. Be careful, the hostel is quite far away from the centre. REMA, the supermarket, is not very far but Honningsvåg village is at least 40 minutes walk or 10 minutes by bus. The rooms, from single to 6 persons, are rather minimalist. The place is not particularly warm but everything is very clean and functional, and that's the main thing! The welcome is friendly.

Located on the port, the cabins offer a view on the sea. They are fully equipped with a small kitchen, private bathroom with hot water, TV, Internet connection, parking. Small terrace with barbecue available. The price also includes the rental of a small boat. But excursions at sea are also proposed.

This hostel offers some of the most attractive accommodation in the city and is the perfect option for travelers on a budget! It attracts many young people who come to experience the Great North, so the atmosphere is warm, friendly and dynamic. Located in the heart of downtown, it is only a few steps away from the main shopping street and the main activities that the city has to offer. The rooms are decent and furnished with the bare minimum. The establishment also offers activities in all seasons.

Just a short ferry ride from the country's most northerly city, welcome to the island of Sørøya. A true haven of happiness. The hostel offers a 14-bed dormitory and two double rooms.

You'll have access to the school's sauna and swimming pool, and a small supermarket is just a few steps away for any shopping you may need. Several hiking trails start from the village. An interesting alternative!

Welcome to one of the oldest houses on the island. Situated a little way out of town, after crossing a large bridge, this small fishing village is very charming. It's probably from here that you'll get the best of the Lofoten spirit and quality of life. Here, you'll find everything you need: accommodation, restaurants and activities. The rorbuers, small fishermen's cottages, are all well-equipped and comfortable. In the morning, an excellent breakfast is served in Borsen Spiseri, a renowned restaurant.

An address full of charm and character! Opsahl Gjestegaard is a beautiful house built in 1947, after the destruction of the town. It has now been completely renovated, but the old style has been preserved. This B&B offers ten rooms, all different from each other. In fact, each room is named after a personality and decorated accordingly. An excellent buffet breakfast is served in the morning. In summer, access is given to the kitchen, so you can cook like at home, to your heart's content.

Tommy and his team welcome you with open arms. Located in the heart of the Lofoten Islands in a setting between sea and mountains, built a few meters from the beach, we come here in summer and winter to admire the northern lights or enjoy the midnight sun. Lovers of the waves are in paradise here. The complex respects the environment. If you want to be less crowded, go in June or September. The road is long to get there, but as soon as you arrive, you quickly understand that it was not worth it. A real favorite!

This three-storey villa, perched on a hillock, looks directly out to sea. The furniture was sourced from international auction houses and is a real trip back to 1920s England, mixing kitsch with baroque. The five bedrooms (for a total of 16 beds, very comfortable) overlook the fjords, while the communal lounge invites you to relax in the evenings around a roaring fire. Breakfast is available on request.

In the unusual series... I would like the Arctic Hide Away! A real place of exception where ten cabins are articulated, half of which are dedicated to sleeping. For the rest, dining room, sauna, relaxation studio... Here, we come to cut ourselves off from the world and enjoy the view: extraordinary. The place was initially conceived by artists for artists, hence the name of the place, a place outside of any external solicitation (except nature!) ideal for the concentration and the creativity. We are seduced by the design, the luxury and the calm that reign there!

A former journalist and writer, Ingjerd likes to tell stories. And she continues through this place, Ekkerøy Feriehus, created in 2011.

Bird lovers, nature lovers and lovers of traditional saunas will be delighted! You will find all the comfort and calm you need to enjoy the place.

A few kilometers from the pretty port of Kjollefjord, Eliinor and Ailu, a couple for 30 years, have created Davvi Siida. Here, by the river, between the reindeer and the laavu, you can practice your lasso skills and dine by the fire in a traditional Saami tent, listening to the history of the people that Eliinor and Ailu proudly carry within them and pass on in the most beautiful of ways: sharing. We won't tell you any more about it, it's wonderful and moving. As far as accommodation is concerned, there are real little lodges that are pleasant to live in. And a sauna!

Lost in the wilderness, the Birk Husky is worth the detour. Seven rooms in the guest house, on the wooded grounds, three cabins overlooking the river for a more rustic stay, but also suspended tents for smaller budgets or nature lovers in search of adventure. The restaurant is heated by a wood fire and the view is breathtaking. Traditional cuisine. As its name suggests, Birk Husky is also an experience with dogs. Here live 46 adorable Alaskan Huskies, with whom you can go on a winter walk.

On the heights of Kirkenes, facing Russia, Sollia has had several lives. Dispensary for children suffering from tuberculosis in 1929, hospital in 1944 when Kirkenes was bombed... Then guest house since 1970. Today, its new owners have given it a facelift and about thirty rooms are divided between double rooms, apartments and cabins. Our favorite is the small glass cabins with nice furniture, open to nature! Lie down on your bed and wait for the dawn to come to your starry night.

Here's a Norwegian version glamping address. In this pretty estate, you sleep huddled by the stove, in a typical Same house, the laavu. Almost in the open air, your little round room will surprise you during the Northern Lights season. The common areas are pleasant and warm and it is nice to enjoy the sauna and Jacuzzi when the outside temperatures are high. And of course, as the name suggests, dog sledding outings are organized! All this in a fantastic setting, summer and winter alike.

The Tinos Hotel and Restaurant is located near the center of Namsos. If the view is not there, the quality of the service, the spacious rooms and the excellent restaurant will largely compensate for this inconvenience.

The restaurant offers a refined menu with fresh and local products. For motorcyclists, it is possible to ask to park the motorcycles in a garage.

A rather basic youth hostel, where the facilities are new but lack warmth. Admittedly, the lounge is more like a conference room than a cosy nest. In the end, the reasonable prices and free kitchen are the two positive points of this establishment, along with its central location. Check-in by envelope possible for late arrivals. Accessible to people with reduced mobility.

5 km from the city, a unique experience: sleeping in a lighthouse at the end of the world!
