Hotel Thon Nordlys is located at the waterfront of Bodø and 1km from the railway station. The modern and comfortable hotel offers 147 rooms over 6 floors. In the lounge you find free nespresso coffee, tea & croissants. Service is very friendly.
We had a adequate room, nicely furnished & decorated, with a good connected twin-bed & poor pillows, desk & chair, 2 club-chairs , open wardrobe, large TV on the wall, fridge, iron & ironing board, safe, coffee & tea facility. Windows can be opened. The bathroom had washbasin, shower and toilet. All was very clean.
A very good breakfast buffet is served with a fine variety: freshly made eggs, bacon & sausages, cold cuts & cheeses, smoked salmon, bread & toast, cereals, fresh fruit, milk & yoghurts, freshly pressed orange juice, rolls & croissants, fruit juice & preserves, water, coffee & tea.
We found Hotel Thon Nordlys a nice accommodation. Recommended.

This hotel has a good standard, staff is super frendly and the breakfast is one of the best I've had. I work as a flight attendant, so I'm here occasionally when we have an overnight stop and this is one of the placea where I get the best night sleep.
Bodø offers so much cafeterias, restaurants and an incredible sea view with the typical Scandinavian sky you imagine only in old school paintings. The hotel helped me book a trip on Saltstraumen with boat when I was there last summer and with bus this last time I was there. Since it is winter now, it was quite cold outside so instead of going to Saltstraumen again I chose to rest at hotel after a visit at the library, which was a very good experience. The library itself offer both Litterature, movies and Art, and displays one of the biggest Manga cartoon sections I've ever seen in Norway. A must for youth!

I very much enjoyed my lodging at Thon Hotel Nordlys. I stayed in a standard double room which was very spacious for one person. The room had a comfortable bed, a study desk, a fridge, TV, and a spacious bathroom. Overall the place was very quiet during my stay. I had come to Bodø with the hope of seeing the Northern Lights. But the room already had the Northern Lights painted on the wall! Breakfast was very good with a wide variety of foods to choose from. (Scrambled eggs, fried eggs, bacon, salmon, pickled herring, variety of cheeses, variety of bread, variety of yoghurt, cereal, fruits, sliced courgettes, sliced capsicum, variety of jams, cookies, muffins, and more.) To get to the hotel from the airport, get on Bus #1 or Bus #2 at the airport and get off at bus stop Bodø sentrum. Walk towards the harbor and in about 5 to10 minutes the hotel should be on your left. Go to website reisnordland.no for the bus timetable and current bus fare. You can pay the bus driver using credit card. Another option is to walk from the airport to the hotel. There are signs that will direct you on how to get from the airport to Bodø’s waterfront. The walk takes about 15 to 20 minutes but I wouldn’t suggest this option if you have luggage. The sidewalks are not perfectly smooth so the baggage wheels may get worn down.

Very pleasant hotel with very good service. Located very centrally and within walking distance of restaurants, concert halls and libraries. The rooms are well kept and clean and most rooms also have a good view of the marina and the sea. The breakfast is very good and it is served in a breakfast room just big enough.

Flying from Trondheim to Bodo above thick cloud I was treated to a spectacular display of the northern lights and this set the tone for my time in the arctic circle, where I was lucky enough to see the aurora on all 4 nights. Including from the hotel room.
The hotel is great with a sensationally good breakfast.
I had a Superior Double with sea view first night, then on return from the Lofoten Islands they gave me a free upgrade to a corner room and I photographed the northern lights out the window.

Right by the water front and close to the centre, airport etc convenient for everything. Good vale and clean, a little dated but not badly. Try and get a room with an outside window. The rooms with windows to the reception atrium are noisy if you want to open your window. Good breakfast!

Handicap room perfect for me and mine. And I have trouble sitting on low chairs, so I got a high chair in the restaurant and in the room. In the breakfast room there are chairs for all lengths. Lunch we took at Egon which gives discounts to Thon members. And the breakfast it was perfect for me who always eats fish for breakfast, salmon dug and smoked, hot smoked mackerel, tomato silk, mustard silk and spice silk in the top class. Recommended.

A decent hotel, with an ok breakfast. Can recommend their own grav salmon and something as rare as a lovely scrambled egg for breakfast. The room was tired and the bed not the best, but worked for me. Now there will be new rooms, I have seen, so the next time I come it will probably be both a new bed and a new room. They also have their own restaurant in the house, Egon, but I recommend going straight past that place, because in Bodø there are places where they have chefs with a passion for food.
