On a quiet residential street, this guesthouse has 18 comfortable
rooms with decor ranging from flowery to the less florid, and a small bar for guests. New
owners have jacked up the prices considerably but it still remains an attractive alternative
to hotel life. There are also four apartments with minikitchens.

At last Bodø has a youth hostel to cater for trav-

couldn't be better positioned.

This pleasant, relatively
new place has quickly become a popular haunt, especially of Bodø's younger movers and
shakers. It serves a variety of creative snacks, wood-fired pizzas and sushi and partly oc-
cupies the sealed bridge above the shopping mall's main alley so you can snoop upon the
shoppers below - one of the reasons why it's also a popular spot for a drink.
