Åndalsnes Vandrerhjem

The Northern Fjords


This is a great hostel, spread across several buildings and surrounded by lawns, greenery and nature, 1.5km from Åndalsnes. As you'd expect, the rooms are nothing to write home about, but they're fine for a couple of nights. There's a nice lounge area if you want to mingle with other guests and the breakfast spread is particularly generous.
