I last stayed at the Vardo Hotel in early February '13, when there was very little sunshine. This time in early July '19 was midnight sun time, and the views of the harbor were great, with all the Eider Ducks and other sea birds. Since '13 they renovated the place, and both the room and the restaurant were better. I ate at the restaurant twice with great food each time, and breakfast (and lunch if you want) were much improved, with the typical Norwegian spread of cured meats, cheeses, 2 kinds of smoked laks, breads, Wasa crackers, and great local jams, and soft or hard boiled eggs. If you have to be in Vardo, this is the place to be...and eat.
