The receptionist that booked us in was very friendly and helpful. The kitchen/dining room staff were lovely and very hard working. The hotel was quiet on the whole and we had very little noise at night. We upgraded to a superior room, not sure what the standard rooms are like but ours was small with a wardrobe for one person, we had to use the “superior” chairs as a second wardrobe and the shower situation was diabolical. Two glass doors folded out in front of the toilet that rendered the toilet unusable. I am not a large person but I struggled to shower without knocking my elbows and knees.

Very close to the ferry for Lofoten. A very comfortable bed and good choice of food for breakfast. A very welcome bonus was the afternoon coffee and cakes and the free evening buffet for guests.

Historic central hotel

We were 3 friends travelling along the Norwegian coast and stayed 2 nights as this very pleasant and quaint hotel.

We enjoyed the buffet supper and excellent breakfast and thoroughly recommend this staying at this hotel. All
the staff were very helpful and, bonus, supplied us with a takeaway breakfast on our last morning when we had an early start.

The hotel was peaceful, central and close to everything we wanted to see - even close to the bus stop for our onward travel.

Our flight got canceled and led us to book this hotel. The staff at the reception was very kind to allow us to have the complementary dinner with the booking even thought it was one minute to the end of dinner time slot. We really appreciated her kindness as we have starved for the whole day. Rooms were spacious, bed was huge and comfortable. The Clarion brand seems to be holding up well since we just checked out of a Clarion hotel in another city prior to this. Not to mention that the hotel lobby looks lavish and inviting in the cold winter! Will choose a Clarion in a heartbeat!

Room was comfortable and clean. Hotel is conveniently located close to everything. We just had an issue with the room door which was tricky to close from outside so a few times ended up spending some time there trying to close it. There is a bar across the street so on a weekend night it get's a little noisy if you are sensitive to noise but not too bad that you cannot sleep. Found very convenient to have a charger in the parking garage.

For a senior single woman from Australia I was impressed with the service and the situation of the facility. There was no problem with English which I appreciated given it is a foreign language in Norway.
To have a breakfast buffet, afternoon tea, all day tea and coffee plus an evening meal provided with my booking made my stay so much easier and comfortable.
I was also given appropriate information that helped me find my way around activities in Bodo and the area.

We had an absolutely lovely stay at the Clarion Collection Hotel Grand Bodø. We arrived at exactly 8pm when the evening meal is supposed to end, but the receptionist ensured we could go and eat before we checked in which was so lovely after a full day travelling.
We had a room with a view of the harbour and breakfast the next morning was delicious. We enjoyed the stay so much that we've cancelled our last 2 night stay at a different hotel in Bodø and booked back in at the Clarion instead.

We booked this hotel because we loved our stay at the Bergen’s Clarion, which was perfect. This place is totally different, very small dark rooms for the same price, no view, barely average dinner buffet compared to other places we stayed at. Breakfast was good though. We feel there are much better options in Bodo.

Receptionist un friendly. Probably I had interrupted her during her chatting with her friend and get into her 'bad book\". I book through hotel.com as single booking for 2 rooms and requested to have the room near to each other. To facilitate packing of luggages.As we share our items in the luggages between family member. She mentioned that it was 2 separate booking. Hotel.com didin't forward any request. Never even attempted to see whether she could help us to put the 2 rooms on the same floor, she just brush me aside and said fully booked. Disappointed to have such treatment in a beautiful country.

Central and Comfortable Hotel

For my one night stay in Bodo I chose this hotel because of its location in the center of town. It turned out to be a wonderful and friendly place, offering not only free breakfast but also a light dinner buffet. In super expensive Norway saving money on food at any point helps. The room was clean, comfy, and quiet. The Finnish sauna was a great place to relax after a long day of traveling. The front desk staff ware very helpful and kind. Would definitely stay again and recommend anyone visiting Bodo to give it a shot.
