Room was well used, staff was indifferent to us, dinning room food was average. During late night early morning, reception was closed (locked). We had dinner in the Hotel restaurant, food was just ok. No coffee in room. Room was quiet.

After a long drive from Bodo, the Turistsenter was a much needed respite from the long lonely road. Simple & basic, it had everything I needed for a good night's sleep. The views around Tysfjord are spectacular, especially in winter. Staff were friendly and welcoming. One down-point was the price which was expensive for what it offered but when you're the only hotel for miles you can get away with it I guess!

Some years ago there were Orcas in Tysfjord. Today, there are none. The Orcas moved North to Andenes and beyond. So there is no reason to go to Tysfjord. They still offer Orca tours, but they will just transfer you to Andenes. So you need to travel a long distance without any reason. Also, they cheat a bit with the prices! Hard negotiations afterwards, etc.
So you should book there directly with Lofoten Oppleveser or Seasafari Andenes. Alternatively, check Pico Sport on the Acores or Wirodive, as they offer Orca camps and liveaboards in Northern Norway for Orca snorkeling.

Besides, if you are passing Tysfjord, the hotel is ok (neither especially good or bad).

Hi AdmBreen(sorry, do not know your real name),
Fist of all thank you for your review.
Tysfjord Turistsenter AS(hotel) is the first company in Norway to offer killer whale safaris and snorkelling for over 20 years ago. Since the beginning we always hired Lofoten Opplevelser to run boats as a partner. Some years ago, when migration of herring have changed, after some research we have decided to run tours from Andenes and we brought Lofoten Opplevelser there.
Our basecamp always was in Tysfjord. Part of our guests come directly to Andenes and part(mostly those who wish to experience also other activities, not only killer whale safaris) come here to Tysfjord. All this information we provide on our web page, facebook and by communicating on emails or phone. We even have our partner hotel in Andenes for those who wish to travel directly there. We even have a plan to run killer whale tours from Tromso(together with Lofoten Oppleveleser). Killer whales do not belong to Tysfjord, Andenes or Tromso and with our crew experience we are ready to follow where ever they migrate. It could be the same with northern lights. Some times we, and other operators in all northern Norway have to travel all night for many hundred km. to be able to find them. It is nature not zoo!
I am not sure what you mean about cheating? If you stay in Tysfjord you pay for killer whale safari 200 NOK more then if you stay in Andenes because of travel costs(ferry and bus drive). I guess it is way cheeper then travelling to Andenes on your own with 2 flights from Oslo.
One more thing.... for past couple years we observe big increasing of herring in Tysfjord and Vestfjord and most likely in couple years killer whales might be back in this area again. And what would you say if you travel to Andenes then? Blame Sea Safari?
We can not predict nature so we try to be flexible what ever it brings.
All the best from Tysfjord :)

Happened across this turissenter hotel after ferry crossing heading south on the E6. 10 minutes from the Skarbergt/Bognes ferry.
The hotel offers rooms, chalets and camping. Camping facilities are situated at the rear of the main building, with male and female showers, laundry and drying room and a pretty well equipped kitchen room.

Gorgeous view across the peninsula from the camping ground. Restaurant on site as well. We had a very nice meal in the evening, which didn't break the bank...although we didn't order alcohol.

The staff were very kind and helpful as well as very patient with two non Norwegian speaking happy campers. There is free Wi-Fi available in and around the reception area.
