Airport Guide
Compare 5 airports near Alesund
For the vast majority of travelers, Alesund Airport (AES) is the only logical choice. Located on the island of Vigra and physically within the city region, it is the only airport actually serving Alesund directly. It handles domestic routes and offers the fastest, most affordable connections via the Flybussen service or local taxi. All other airports on this list serve NEIGHBORING cities and require significant land travel. Hovden Airport (HOV) in Ørsta is the next closest, but at over 30 km away with complex mountainous connections, it is primarily for regional utility. Molde Airport (MOL) serves the neighboring city of Molde and is over 60 km away, involving ferry crossings. Finally, Sandane Airport (SDN) and Sogndal Haukasen Airport (SOG) are located in the distant Sogn og Fjordane region, making them impractical for standard arrivals to Alesund unless your itinerary specifically requires travel through those valleys. Choose Alesund Airport (AES) to save yourself hours of transit time and significant transport costs.

Alesund|0.29km from city center
The hotel is great, the service is great, and the breakfast is rich. It is by the sea, the scenery is beautiful, and we happened to see two huge cruise ships docked next to the hotel in the morning. The sea water is clear and deep, and it looks black from a distance, but it is actually too deep. The shallow water next to the hotel is azure blue, and jellyfish can be seen everywhere.
However, the room rate is very expensive in summer.
Alesund is a small city, a tourist city, and cruise ships bring batches of guests. There are several large stores where tax refunds can be made.FromUS$125

The room was absolutely tiny, there is no privacy in the bathroom as it's basically a box next to your bed. Had to carry our luggage up the stairs to get to the room. Adjacent restaurant took 10 minutes to acknowledge us and say they're fully booked. Historic building & good location but that's about it. Would not recommend.FromUS$310

I stayed here for two nights, but the weather was terrible – heavy rain and strong winds. Luckily, the hotel wasn't too far from the station, but the whole way was uphill, which was tough for people with luggage! There were supermarkets nearby, so buying food wasn't a problem. The room was very warm, and the bathroom was large with a bathtub. It faced the sea view, so even though the weather outside was bad, my mood wasn't too bad. I especially liked the breakfast – it was plentiful and had a wide variety of choices. I would definitely recommend this hotel.FromUS$157

The hotel is in a great location, right by the sea. There are cheap public parking spaces at the door, but the number is limited. The hotel's own parking lot is indoors, probably converted from an air-raid shelter. There is a very narrow door inside, and drivers with poor driving skills may not be able to park in it. I saw traces of vehicles scratching the wall of the doorway.FromUS$147

The check-in was completed thanks to the codes previously sent by email super simple and contactless. A great plus point are the free parking directly on the site. The room itself was small but had even a balcony. On the floor there is a kitchen, a living room, two toilets and a shower available for community use. All clean and functional – has been perfectly suited to my needs!FromUS$93

This hotel tells us from its name that it has a history of more than 100 years. Because Alesund has a population of 70,000 and the city is not big, this hotel is in the city. Unexpectedly, the decoration of the hotel is very artistic. From the lobby to the restaurant to the guest room, it is very artistic. This style is rare, but it is very tasteful. The breakfast is very rich, and the regional layout is also very characteristic, as if it is very casual, but has a design connotation. The basement level can be parked, but it is charged by the hour after 9:00 in the evening. It costs more than 200 yuan in one night. I finally stopped at the street and charged after 8:00 in the morning.FromUS$223
