Nine beautiful double rooms and 19 charming suites that capture the essence and history of the beautiful southern village. Some are perfect for two, cozy and romantic - preferably with a fireplace. Some are large and stately with a banquet room and space for more.

We have 15 suites in the center of Risør in buildings from the 1850s and four in Buvika in a magical listed house from 1750.

In 2023 we opened our newest department Tollboden - In what was once the town's old customs booth, we have created a small boutique hotel. The iconic building has a fantastic location by the inner harbor and the entrance to Risør.

Tollboden

Nine double rooms with beautiful views, newly restored in 2023.

All rooms are different, but all have a view of the sea and the beautiful Risør harbor.

The eatery "Tollboden 1865" is located on the first floor, with outdoor seating by the waterfront.

Parking next to the building, 150kr per day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Check-in/check-out

When is check-in/check-out?
Check-in is from 15.00 at our reception in Tollboden, Strandgata 10. It may be possible to check in at 14.00 if the room is ready, just check with the reception before arrival. In the summer, especially in July, check-in is generally at 16.00 - this is because it takes quite a long time to clean a suite, and our cleaning staff must have enough time if there are many new arrivals.
‍
Check-out is at 11.00 in July, and at 12.00 the rest of the year. It is often possible to get a late check-out - again, just check with us if this is possible.
