    Very, very central located: directly in the building of the railway station Bodø. Check-in super easy (selfservice with RFID-card). The booked room is clean, has own bathroom with 🚿+🚽. The hostel is a good starting point to explore the whole city Bodø. The only disappointing thing is the entrance area of the hostel: not so much welcome-feeling with all the cigarette butts everywhere. A courageous tidying up would help 😉 Update 1h later: Wow 😃😃😃, seems the boss has noticed my comment. The entrance has been cleaned up. Now it looks good 👍🏻. Thanks a lot. The people here are really cool. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    We have spent here 2 nights as a big group of friends. Location is perfect, close to everything. Actually even from airport you can get here by foot. It took as only about 30 minutes nice walk. Regarding cleanliness it was also OK. Quite big dining room.

    Excellent accommodation with fully equipped kitchen for guests to use with fridge and freezer. Nice rooms, with private bathroom. Wifi, toilet paper and soap available for free. Sitting area with board games. Very kind staff! We'll be back !

    The staff is very friendly and super helpful. The kitchen is clean and in very good shape. The lounge room was clean and welcoming. It is right by the train tracks BUT you can not hear anything. The windows are almost sound proof. I slept very well. Would definitely stay there again ! You can wash your clothes and there are free books to read and games to play. Additionally it’s super central. People of all ages are welcome 🤗 Thank you for such a great time 🧡

    They were so helpful. They didnt want us to wait till check in time, they gave the room before check in time. They help us even we didnt have a reservation.

    Worst hostel I’ve ever been to. The beds were noisy and shakey, the sink was not flushing, the noises in the night from the outside next to the main station has been louder than anything else I’ve heard the whole day and I haven’t seen a single employee. Really bad!

    The young lady working there was super friendly and polite and helpful! And I'm grateful beyond words! The price was also great, the room was ok. And I'm definitely coming back here

    Accommodation suitable for tourists and travelers. Location near the ferry. The rooms are clean, the shared kitchen could be better equipped. Friendly, helpful staff.

    I wouldn’t say it’s cheap. But the big plus that there is space to cook food is a computer, internet, refrigerator. It is very good for travelers.

    Great hostel particularly for transport. At train station. 5 mins walk to Lofoten ferry

    This was by far the worst hostel I’ve ever stayed in! Especially for Norway I did not think there would be a hostel this dirty and run down. I usually don’t like writing bad reviews but in this case I had to, to warn future potential bookers. To start off: check in is at 15:00 so after waiting a few minutes I called the number provided and just got a rude “I’ll be there soon” as a response. I understand people can be late for whatever reason but he could’ve at least been friendly. Later, he asked us if there was linen on every bed because he didn’t have time to check.. how unprofessional is that?? And it really shows how little he trusts his cleaning staff. When we got into the rooms and wanted to make the beds, there were blood stains everywhere on the mattress and pillow. It was disgusting! There were hairs too, on the mattress as well as on the “fresh” linen. The bathroom had not been cleaned properly in days, there was dust everywhere on the sink and toilet paper on the floor. In addition to all that, the mattresses were super old and you could really tell how many people have layed there before because they were so worn down. Overall a very disappointing experience. I would not recommend this place. It’s better to spend a few extra euros/dollers to get a proper accommodation instead of this dirty place.

    Hostel is ok - good position at the end of the main strip, right next to the train station. Very basic of course, clean enough, very easy to check in and out. Bathroom tiny but functional. Norway is expensive anyway, but I think this is a little overpriced for a hostel, the Smarthotel opposite is probably better value for money, for the difference in standard, and includes breakfast. But this is a decent place on a budget

  • 4/5 Airbus D. 5 years ago on Google
    Staff were incredibly nice, friendly, polite and very helpful. We had a private room with an ensuite and had a great view of Bodø from our room. The location is very close to the center and walking distance away from basic amenities. The location is also 5mins walk away from the ferry which takes you to the Lofoten Islands. Kitchen is big and has a large lounge area to relax/eat. I enjoyed my stay here, would return again and would recommend.

  • 5/5 Naveh R. 1 year ago on Google
    Its very simple, but clean and accomodating. Staff were super nice helpful! There is a kitchen and a laundry room. The joint living room is cosy and pleasant.

  • 5/5 Christian G. 1 year ago on Google
    Liked · Everything clean and an easy self-checkin. Room looks like it has recently been renovated Disliked · A kitchen to prepare your own dinner and break fast and a lounge area are missing. Or we did not find them. I saw pictures here but on location i found nothing.

    Good place for one night sleep

  • 4/5 Alex M. 4 years ago on Google
    Great hostel literally on the train station. Staff are very friendly and helpful, they'll let leave your bags in the front desk if you check out early and leave late. A short walk from the main mall too.

  • 5/5 Esther Lyon D. 4 years ago on Google
    Rooms with a view, friendly people, clean sheets. If you are a young traveler and feeling alone, please go hang out in the lounge! I met a friend there and we travelled in Lofoten the next week. It was worth waiting around in an empty lounge for some time.

  • 5/5 Lachlan J. 6 years ago on Google
    Loved it. The room is very large and spacious with a huge bathroom. Was in a 8 dorm room and as it's the winter season I had it all to myself. Beds were great and the shower was good but more water comes out then it drains so before you know it you're flooding half of Bodø.

👍👍 We had a very nice time at Arctic Cabins, it was great for resting during our Norway Roadtrip, while also enjoying the surrounding. The northern lights from there were mesmerizing! I just wish we had skis with us to ride on the nearby mountain 😁
