Aurora Borealis Observatory
Torsmoveien 16, 9303 Silsand, Norway – Great location - show map
Very nice place, clean with a beautiful view. The weather condition was not great to see the Aurora when we visited, however we experience the unforgettable Artic weather!
United States of AmericaNice little Bed and Breakfast place with exceptional views, with or without the Auroras. The views were amazing in every direction and the people there were very friendly and helpful.
Thailand- Saw the Aurora every night we stayed here - Super friendly & helpful staff - Location is not too far from the city, but far enough that there is no light pollution - Decent breakfast spread - Lovely dinner
IndonesiaLocation, and the almost 180 degree view from the living area. The Aurora is the goal, the location is very good for that, and the broad views allow for comfortable scouting for the elusive lights.
SwitzerlandStaff went above and beyond for the customer. Apartment was very clean and facilities were better then expected.
BahrainThis has to be one of the most amazing hotels in Senja. Quiet location, the views are beautiful. Favorite part about this hotel was dinner at Fjøsn Restaurant. Best meal of my life here! Michael and his team created a dream dinner experience that exceeded our expectations. I’m coming back to Norway soon just to have dinner here again.
United States of AmericaThe view from the hotel was amazing. The room was super clean and modern. The staff were very helpful and friendly.
United States of AmericaAmazing! All of the staff and food were world class!
United States of AmericaThe accommodations and the beautiful restaurant, make sure you sit next to the window!
United KingdomBeautiful location, the perfect place to experience the Aurora Borealis. Our room was lovely with an amazing view and Fjorn the on-site restaurant was amazing. The staff was welcoming and from the time they pick you up at the Ferry to the time you have to depart they treat every guest like family!
