Molja Fyr is run and administrered by the nearby Hotel Brosundet which is almost equally distinctive in a different way. The Hotel Brosundet is located in a 100+ years-old protected building. As a result Molja Fyr has become known locally as  "Room 47" due to the small boutique Hotel Brosundet having 46 rooms within its building. Full hotel facilities are available from Hotel Brosundet, including the Maki Restaurant, which has established a superb reputation for its fresh seafood.

The lighthouse is positioned at the end of a 100 metre sea wall, creating an experience that is entirely unique, as you are able to experience the seclusion of a tiny building facing the power of nature  - some say it is even more of an experience to stay during a winter storm than on a beautiful summer's day - while at the same time very close to the center of town. 

Aalesund itself is charming and was visited by 70,000 cruise passengers last year. It was recently voted the most picturesque town in Norway.
