Very flexible and easy check-in, great location with a cute restaurant in the same building and a 24/7 shop across the street. We stayed one night and slept very good.

Amazing place!
Pros:

Yttersia base has a fantastic location, close to amazing mountain treks like Husfjellet right outside the door, close to the charming beach Bøvær. It is a perfect base to explore the most beautiful areas of Senja!
Super kind staff who are always available to help out with anything! Cozy restaurant next door with good food. A small grocery shop across the road open 24/7.
We particularly enjoyed a good night sleep in the comfy beds with amazing duvet and pillows.

Relaxed and clean!
Pros:

It is functional and clean! Easy going, and it has a great view on the Fjord, which is only 30 meters away. A grocery store is located just in front and the store is very complete!
The diner was good and also the breakfast!
I would definitely go there again!

New ownership of this accommodation has made a HUGE difference! Fresh makeover and upgrade is great.
Pros:

Love the location and self-contained set up. Right across from the 24/7 supermarket, EV station, tour facilities and endless beaches and walks.

Cons:

Slept well in the beautiful, peaceful surroundings. Would love a firmer bed but that’s just me.
