History
About us and the Guesthouse
The venerable guesthouse in Prinsensgate was probably built in the 1930s and then rebuilt after the Second World War in 1946. It was Jensine Opsahl who first rented out rooms at the lodging house. There were many lodging houses in Bodø at that time.
The guesthouse has since been run by several owners. Opsahl Gjestegaard is now family-run. It is owned and operated by sisters Marianne Drolsum and Eva Nohr.
Opsahl Gjestegaard is well known to many. Several of our guests say they stayed here a long time ago. It is also a "TV celebrity" from the programmes "Hellstrøm rydder opp" and "solgt".
