Molde Fjordstuer

This smart hotel makes a great Molde base. Built to resemble a modern take on a terrace of wharf-side warehouses, it's a stylish option: rooms are unexciting, although if you can secure a harbour view, there's plenty of entertaining boat-watching along the harbour outside. The restaurant (mains 285kr to 360kr) is really good, with local fish and seafood featuring heavily.
