The station was designed by Gudmund Hoel and is located on reclaimed land along Isfjorden.

It serves four passenger trains per day, and has correspondence by bus onwards to the nearby towns of Molde and Ålesund.

The area where the station is located is built on reclaimed land, as the Åndalsnes side of Isfjorden is sufficiently shallow.

[4] The station building was built in 1923 and 1924, and had an area of 316.2 square meters (3,404 sq ft).

By damming up a pool, it was possible to supply 120 cubic meters (4,200 cu ft) of water per day to the station.

Because of delayed delivery of parts from Germany, the water system was not opened until 10 February 1925.

As one of the larger railway station restaurants in the country, it included an outdoor patio.

This included better transfer between trains and buses and cruise ships, a new park, and raising of the platforms.

[12] Åndalsnes Station has a staffed ticket booth and has a waiting room, lockers, a kiosk, a bicycle rack and parking for 15 cars.
