What guests think

Across recent reviews, Thon Hotel Nordlys stands out for its excellent waterfront location near the airport and ferry, widely praised breakfast, and friendly, helpful staff, making it a convenient, comfortable base for short stays and Lofoten connections.

Rooms are generally comfortable with harbour views available, though some feel small, a few face the interior and seem dark, and several note weak air-conditioning or heating and occasional noise between rooms. Cleanliness and housekeeping receive strong feedback overall, with minor remarks about worn corridors, dusty spots, or dirty windows. Parking is off site or paid nearby, and a small gym is available; some guests also appreciated the attached restaurant. Expect a modern, well-run stay with warm service and reliable comfort.

Sehr zentral gelegenes Hotel am Yachthafen. Die Parkplätze des Hotels sind zu teuer. Über Nacht kann man an der Straße oder auf öffentlichen Parkplätzen kostenlos stehen (bis 8 Uhr morgens). Zimmer hatten einen guten Standard. Das Frühstück war in Auswahl und Aufmachung das wohl Beste auf unserer Norwegen-Reise (etwas besser als Scandic-Standard). Zum Fähranleger in Bodø sind es nur ein paar Minuten mit dem Auto.

Fint hotell med deskservicen inte den bästa. Inget hej vid ankomst och väntan på min tur. När jag skulle in genom bakdörren från garaget kom jag inte in då rumskortet ej öppnade dörren och ingen i receptionen svarade trots tre försök. Rummet ok med fantastisk utsikt och bra frukost.

Nous étions à 7 min du ferry pour Lofoten donc un plus ! Attention au stationnement dans la rue nous avons eu une contravention! Belle vue sur l’eau malgré la pluie ! Très bien situé!

Stayed for two nights, Wednesday to Friday. Smooth check-in, they were aware of our requests we wrote when the reservation was made. Parked in their garage that was located about 100 meter from the hotel. The room was nice and had good view from the sixth floor. The beds, blankets and pillows were of a luxury standard and the housekeeping was good. The gym was up to date, and was located on the second floor. We used it both days. But the main thing that made the best impression - their breakfast! It was godlike! I've been at hotels in several countries in Europe and made trips to US but this is the top end! Greetings from Sweden.

Great hotel across from the peir with lots of restaurants and bars nearby. Breakfast was great, as usual, but parking is still a bit of a pain. Fortunately with two motorcycles we are able to park hoth in one space, which at this hotel is in the next block and free from 4 pm to 8 am, which worked well for us.

Trevligt rum med fin utsikt över hamnen, sköna sängar, litet minus var att kuddarna var mycket mjuka/tunna men ok för en natt. Välstädat och ovanligt fräsch toa/dusch. Frukosten var över förväntan mycket bra, kan starkt rekomendera detta hotell, vi bodde i rum 504.

Ett fantastisk hotell med vakker utsikt over havna og deilig frokost. Jeg likte spesielt godt at håndduker ble byttet hver dag og sengen redd opp! Jeg har i løpet av det siste året bodd på nesten alle hotell i Bodø og dette var det første hvor sengen ble redd og nye håndduker lagt frem hver dag. Stort pluss
