Fjellro Turisthotell

The Northern Fjords


This pretty, red-roofed hotel has been in business for decades, and it makes a pleasant, if undeniably old-fashioned, place to break your journey – plus it's the only real place to stay. Rooms are serviceable, if dated. On the ground floor there's a restaurant that specialises in fish, and out back there's a tranquil garden with a small playground.
