Svolvær hotels

Pros: great location walking distance from nice restaurang, but need car to get to Reine

Pros: breakfast excellent,problems in the room:bedrooms on the second floor,not comftable to go up and down.no restroom on the second floor,even no water and no mirror upstairs,single beds on the uncomftable edges of the rooms,no double beds.no tv in the room,no telephone in the room,for any problems you have to go special outside to the front desk.most of the stuff are completely not proffetional.

Cons: breakfast excellant

Pros: We liked the experience to stay in a cabin that is very well equipped and could accommodate easily 4 to 5 people. The cabin itself offers all the comfort and a kitchenette and small dining place that allowed us to have dinner there with a view outside. The main building with the restaurant is where you have the nicest view.

Cons: We did book a cabin with sea view. The view was actually on the lagoon behind which has a small harbor for mid-size boats. Although we were in the last cabin, we did not feel the isolation and quietness we were expecting.

Pros: Excellent staff

Cons: No TV

Pros: Nice rooms on the water with a very good breakfast and friendly staff

Pros: Can not beat the location and views. Amazing.

Pros: The sauna was superb, the veiw was spectacular.

Pros: Amazing breakfast

Pros: This is a beautiful hotel in the most amazing location. The views all around are stunning! The staff were super-helpful - the restaurant and food could not be faulted. Our cabin (2 bedrooms) was cosy, and very well equipped - the hotel had thought of everything! I struggle to think of any way in which it could be improved!

Cons: Absolutely nothing!

Pros: Beautiful location, surrounded by mountains. Houses are very nice and comfortable. My 2 year old son slept in a cot they prepared for our arrival.

Pros: We suppose this is the best low budget place in Lofoten. Apart from simple rooms, everything is like a 5-star hotel. Clean and the last generation equipment. Very discreet and friendly hosts. Fantastic little gathering places in the garden, including the grilling cottage under the roof. Un-un-unexpressable nice. Good taste and comfort.

Pros: We loved to stay at this place! The apartment is hosted by a lovely family. The rooms were very cozy, clean and decorated lovely. There was a big common room to hang out and a great balcony for enjoying the sun.

Pros: Nice place and kindly People.

Pros: Convenient location with bus stop nearby.

Cons: Nil

Pros: Berg Apartments was a great place to stay! We had an unexpected extra member in our party and had asked for an extra mattress, but Berg went one better and arranged another room at minimal cost. The young hostess who greeted us was both delightful and very competent. We were offered a ride to the bus station which was very welcome and prevented us from missing our bus to Leknes! Comfortable, clean rooms, bathrooms and kitchen facilities.

Cons: Nothing!

Pros: Everything, the owners at Berg Aparments are fantastic. They make you fell at home. We stayed twice at B.A.

Cons: Nothing, everything is just perfect

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Clean and comfortable room beautifully appointed. Good shared kitchen and bathrooms Only short walk to ferry terminal. Friendly staff.

Cons: Soundproofing needs upgrade? Parking in large empty community carpark opposite is not for guests. Watch out for this.

Pros: Spacious room, nice building with a large terrace/balcony on first floor. Quiet, clean and family friendly despite having common spaces. Owners helped us with our car rental and allowed us to park there, which was really nice.

Cons: Having the dining room in a separate building from the kitchen was a little annoying to move the plate but not such a big deal during summer.

Pros: Cleen fresh rooms, cleen showers and well equipped kitchen. Comfy beds and nice staff.

Pros: Fabulous breakfast

Pros: Just in the centre, a few meters from the bus station and the sea port. Incredibly rich breakfast

Pros: The room was comfortable, clean and quiet and had AC. The staff were all very nice and they have THE BEST breakfast buffer EVER. They were voted best hotel breakfast in Norway and it was amazing! Free parking area for our motorcycles was a plus. The restaurants and activities, although limited, were just outside the hotel.

Cons: nothing

Pros: The breakfast was very good

Pros: Sensational breakfast, central location, great views from the sea-facing rooms and super kind/helpful staff.

Pros: The Lofoten Islands archipelago offers breathtaking, unforgettable scenery. Svolvaer is a good base to explore Lofoten (Troll Fjord, guided tours, hotels, restaurants, shopping) . The Thon hotel sits on the harbor front next to the Hurtigruten pier. An excellent location in the center of Svolvaer (very close to the main square - tourist office, starting point of many organized tours). The room was clean and spacious. Beautiful view from the room. The staff were polite, nice, and helpful. The breakfast is extraordinary. It may be the best in Norway.

Pros: Remarkable breakfast choice. A really good hotel experience for us as leisure travellers. Very good room, comfortable bed and good overall room facilities.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Fantastic location in one of the old fisherman’s cottages in the heart of Svolvær. Right on the water, with a nice restaurant overlooking the harbour.

Cons: While the cottage had a kitchen, including a dishwasher there was no washing machine. There is one you can use close by however.

Pros: Anker Brygge is a fantastic, centrally located but still quite quiet hotel consisting of cabins on a small island. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and made the check-in very easy. The rooms were comfortable and it was nice having a common living room to sit and relax in. We did not use the kitchen so much (just wine glasses) but it was clearly well equipped.

Cons: The bedroom lighting was very dark which was an issue when trying to dig around for clothes or such.

Pros: Good breakfast, comfortable, central

Pros: The most spacious room of all that we had in Lofoten area!! Very nice! Great location!!

Pros: Private room witk kitchen. Good.location nice view.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Breakfast, cleanliness, comfort

Cons: WiFi was slow

Pros: Excellent accommodation in a quiet area of the Lofoten Islands. Svolvaer is close by (a 10-15 minute drive) and is a good base for walking and excursions. Information provided by the owner was clear and helpful.

Pros: Clean, spacy and pre-heated apartment. Had everything we needed and a great view on the fjord.

Cons: No personal handover of the keys, but the instructions were sufficient

Pros: The location of Lofoten apartments is absolutely spectacular,the apartment is beautiful with a laidback feel, it is equipped with all mod cons and extremely well insulated (did not feel cold despite raging winter storms outside). good place to see eagles and aurora borealis.

Cons: I liked everything, but in winter you will absolutely need to have a 4X4 to drive to the house

Pros: I love the view on the balcony. The place is huge that it has potential to live more than 4 people. Cozy and clean. Near to the big city.

Cons: Sauna sometimes was locked after 11 pm. The garbage can is somehow far from the living place.

Pros: Everything, a perfect place, hoping to return !!

Pros: Great location and wonderful and comfortable property

Cons: All perfect

Pros: A very good and big apartment.

Cons: A bit far away.

Pros: Spacious appartment, overlooking a lake. Great view of the mountains

Cons: Could hear every footstep of the neighbouring appartment (one floor higher)

Pros: View, cleanliness

Cons: Bad wifi, sauna should be included

Pros: Clean, spacious, good location

Cons: Nothing bad to say.

Pros: The staffs are very nice and friendly here. Good communication with the staffs before my friends arrive.

Pros: Nothing really.

Cons: Shared living rooms, no parking, got a parking ticket on the street. No breakfast. Horribly overpriced at $278 a night. Sleeping in the same suite with strangers and hearing them move around and talk. Walls were not soundproof at all

Pros: Great situation and awesome view Great concept Top suite is perfect Helpful staff

Cons: In the cheaper suite, kitchen is so cramped it is useless and transparent bathroom is a strange concept to say the least. Better curtains would be a good idea in a place renowned for midnight sun.

Pros: Nice to have a large shared lounge with access to outside deck. Kitchen adequate

Cons: Pepper and salt shakers were empty. Tissue box empty. Bedrooms were very warm in the afternoon with limited ventilation.

Pros: very nice place

Cons: The room was small, on the ground floor and the window was right to the parking

Pros: Pros: excellent hotel location, clean facililty. Cons:

Cons: Front desk person is available from 9-9. Phone number left for you to call for anything else. July visit: NO AC, room was very hot (glass panels and one window that opened slightly made sleeping difficult as we needed to use the dark out curtain to sleep). Also, we had to leave the window open (limited cracked open)...it also let in all the noise from the harbor... Hot, noisy room, we sweated while trying to sleep. The shower glass door keep hitting the toilet, whenever you go into the shower, space is for a small person.

Pros: A very large apartment. Big living/dining area with panoramic views. Two generous bedrooms with ensuites. Balcony. And right on the harbour.

Pros: Nice room and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom was big, clean and very good.

Cons: Too hot in the room, no aircondition.

Pros: Female reception staff very helpful.

Cons: Paying for garage storage of bikes

Cons: The shared living room

Pros: Natalia is a excellent host. She makes you feel a friend and not just a guest. The studio is perfectly equipped and has a wonderful terrass.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The hotel is very well situated. Superb view from the window and from the terrace! Very good breakfast. We even stayed for another night that was not planned.

Cons: The room was rather little. It was not allowed to eat outside of their restaurant, but it was rather hot inside. So we had to eat dinner at the other place.

Pros: We had a super nice view from the window to the sea. Hotel has also a terrace where guests can sit, drick, relax and admire the sea and boats. Breakfast was very good. Room was comfortable. Many things t do outside for tourists. Svolvaer is a very beautiful place.

Cons: The room was rather small.

Pros: We upgraded our room to have an ocean view. The view was nice, but the cost of the very cozy (ie. small) room seemed high for the accommodation received. But I think you are paying for Svolvær more than the hotel. The breakfast was very good and the dining room overlooking the water was quite pretty.

Cons: The view was nice, but the cost of the very cozy (ie. small) room seemed high for the accommodation received. In hindsight, I would have preferred to spend less in a small village nearby rather than right in town. Additionally, the parking was terrible. It was a find-a-spot-where you can situation. We ended up parking illegally near a fence and I was nervous all night our car wouldn't be there the next morning (the car was fine).

Pros: Location and view

Cons: The room is way too small than expected!! As a result..hardly find space for luggage and moving around. There were a small table with two chairs blocking the door to the balcony. We had to push the chairs/table to the two corners in the room for access to the balcony. One side of the bed is against the wall and there's no bedside table with power point for charging conveniences. The bathroom is basic and also it's strange that there isn't power point in there too! Found a few power points on the wall oddly located in the room. Only basic coffee/tea packs and kettle (no espresso machine) provided and we had to place the kettle on the carpeted floor for boiling the water. It's obviously not worth the price we paid for getting a motel's standard in a so called 4 stars rated hotel!

Pros: The breakfast & location were great!

Pros: Lovely location, convenient for ferries in and out of Svolvaer. Good breakfast and views

Pros: The location. Beautiful view from balcony. The breakfast was excellent. All members of staff were nice.

Cons: Room was small and the facilities in the room are very simple. It seemed to me a basic budget room. Our towels were very wet when we were back from a trip in the late night. The cleaner didn’t change the towels regardless we’ve put them in the basin before we went out in the morning. Fortunately the receptionist girl give us 2 clean ones.

Pros: The location was excellent and particularly the bedrooms with a balcony, although the rooms are a little cramped, breakfasts were fine ,but not nearly such a good breakfast as Scandic Ishavshotel Tromso. A good base for the Lofeten Islands

Cons: Not impressed by the evening buffet. We stayed 4 nights and ate elsewhere on 3 nights. Unfortunately there seemed to be several coaches a night with the mass of people that entails

Pros: Excellent location.

Cons: My breakfast experience was terrible. Dozens and dozens of bus tourists made breakfast a nightmare. The coffee line alone took 5 minutes.

Pros: The apartment was close to the center and looked fancy

Cons: The sheets were dirty! There were not enough dishes

Pros: We stayed at the larger of the two downstairs apartments. The space was clean and well maintained, and a short walk from the downtown center and a short drive from a large supermarket and other conveniences.

Cons: The kitchenette, even by local standards, was minimal—the fridge was dorm-sized and a large toaster oven substituted for a conventional one. Due to the nature of the property, there are no views from our room.

Pros: Quite place and location

Cons: The room was dark. Some light bulbs were out. There were not enough kitchen equipment and, a pan was in very bad condition. The cleaning was very superficial

Pros: good stay

Cons: on thr 3rd floor too high.../ difficult to find place due to missed communication

Pros: Comfortable apartment well appointed convenient for ferry and shops.

Cons: A little gloomy in bottom of house but otherwise excellent place.

Cons: We never got the info that the check in wasn’t on the property itself, but at a 15’ wall away. had to call to find out. After finally getting the keys, we went in to try and cook dinner. the kitchen was a joke. there were no appliances, no microwave, no stove, no cooking utensils, no lid for the one pan, no toaster... nothing. the fridge also hummed throughout the night. The walls are paper thin, you can hear EVERYTHING from the neighboring rooms. The soap dispensers in the bathroom were broken and just didn’t work. The shower floor was slimy. There was a leaking pipe in the courber of the bathroom. The towels had a horrible texture and didn’t feel clean. The room was very dark, and there was a view of construction from the window. And it was expensive. I cannot stress it enough, DO NOT go to this hotel. I wish I had read the other comments more carefully before booking.

Pros: Very clean and comfortable.

Cons: The Villa is s fair walk, with baggage, from the ferry terminal. There is no information on the Villa advising guests that they need to pick up the key at a location near the ferry terminal nor providing contact details in case of assistance. Whilst the property had buried in my booking feedback a comment on key pick up I didn’t register that on booking. Neither was there a reminder email. Very poor.

Pros: Mini kitchen very nice. bathroom perfect.

Cons: bed was to soft! little Bit expensive for Students.

Pros: Big nice apartment. Quiet place. Place for cooking (the oven a VERY big minus). Warm water. Washing mashine.

Cons: Its a nice accomodation but for example the oven/microwave was so dirty and old that we did not want to use it. There were hair on the pillow and lots of dust underneath the bed. A twin bed possibility would be good. Too expensive.

Pros: Spacey

Cons: The reception is about 10 minutes away on foot. Then they gave me the wrong code to collect the key, and I had to walk back to the reception in the rain. It has a washing machine, but no dryer, and no iron. How was I supposed to do laundry if I had no way to dry them? For what I spent, I would have been better off staying in a hotel if I couldn’t do laundry. One of the heater is not working.

Pros: Great breakfast buffet.

Pros: Everything.

Pros: Very nice staff! Nice rooms right on the harbour. Excellent breakfast!

Pros: Staff was very nice and helpful ! Breakfast was tasty and there were many choices!

Pros: Good breakfast, with gluten free options and fresh products.

Cons: Little outdated and no refridgerator in the room.

Pros: Good breakfast, good wifi, nice staff.

Cons: Small room with no desk for work. Toilet very awkwardly located makes it difficult to use. Even with curtains down, still a lot of light coming in the room during night in the summer.

Pros: The breakfast was absolutely amazing ! The best buffet we ever had, and good for everyone (English breakfast, continental breakfast, vegetables, vegetalian cakes and breads, waffles,...).

Cons: To say something: The window in the room was difficult to close. The beds were a bit too soft for us.

Pros: Good location, walking distant to cafes, restaurants, boat tours.

Cons: The sofa bed has bed smell and dusty, need more towels in bathroom, need in-room water boiler/kettle, problems for guests with large luggages because no elevator.

Pros: The excellent breakfast buffet, and the nice handwritten words in the room, the staff wrote to our attention. That was a really lovely detail.

Pros: The location is pretty close to the city centre. Everything is in walking distance. When you enter the room for the first time everything is well cleaned.

Cons: If you decide to stay here for one or two nights everything is fine. However I don‘t recommend the hotel for a longer stay. We stayed here for 6 nights. The rooms will be cleaned every third day and you will get your breakfast in a doggy bag day by day. The carbage amasses because the whole breakfast is wrapped in plastic and you will only get plastic cutlery, this stays in your room until it will be cleaned up. You get no plates only plastic fork, spoon and knife. You have a porcellain cup but this will never be changed or cleaned as long as your stay takes. We left the hotel at such a third day and the garbage cans were absolutely full. The doggy bags layed around between the luggage. Consider if you go to the beach, it might be possible that you would have sand in your room for three days.

Pros: Everything is just great

Cons: Its like a hostel! full of nois during the night. to expansive for a small room and breakfast in a bag

Pros: Location is good. Bathroom is basic but fine and they check in and check out concept (code that you will receive by sms) is working great.

Cons: - Free parking places on the street are very limited available. - We stayed for 3 days but out room was never cleaned during our stay and towels were not changed. - breakfast concept (delivery at the door) is nice but totally outdated the way it is executed. Every room gets the same breakfast and therefore no choice can be made what you actually would like or can eat for breakfast. As a result, lot of leftovers for which I can only hope that they will use it wisely instead of throwing it away. Breakfast was also not fresh (delivered 11 pm night before). - no reception which is the concept and ok for us but the host was not very knowledgeable. -overall we think Fasthotel is more like a good hostel instead of a hotel and way overpriced. Basic facilities of a hotel are lacking. Also the breakfast concept is a 'throwing away' machine they way it is set up. We could not book a stay without breakfast but maybe a request to cancel the breakfast is possible.

Pros: No reception or employees , concept reasonably efficient !

Cons: Small details need improvement : Bathroom it’s not functional . Shower spreads water all over the place , protection needed . Not a single towel hanger

Cons: Main issue, giant hole in the wall of the room we stayed in. When brining this to the attention of the on call staff member he notified me that they were aware of it. Knowing that the room had a hole in the wall and still putting us in there is pretty ridiculous. Also, the light in the bathroom was out.

Pros: Great place to stay to simply lay your head down. Easy check in with code sent by SMS, no staff at property, large room and bathroom.

Cons: Breakfast was very simple and hung on your door, nice idea but not executed very well. Still not a cheap hotel for what it offers.

Cons: No milk powder in breakfast pacage.

Pros: Bag Breakfast was ready for us early in the morning. They hang it on our door late at night. Very spacious. Great Customer Service over the internet. This is a self help hotel. Works with passcode. Super!

Cons: Nothing that I can think of.

Pros: great location

Cons: breakfast processed food

Pros: I like the smart check-in , the bed is very soft.

Cons: The bathroom is nothing special, but there is everything that you need

Pros: Very easy to enter and great to have breakfast “in a bag” when you have to be at the airport at 6.30. However just an hotel for the purpose of sleeping somewhere, no character and not cheap either.

Cons: Very simple furniture and bathroom, as mentioned above great for a practical stay but do not expect any character or lovely rooms. A bit disappointed by the high price for what we get.

Pros: Good location. No staff on site.

Cons: I booked apartments with balcony but my room was without. That didn't be a big problem but I paid additional money for balcony.

Cons: Uncomfortable bed Shower on floor, all wet

Pros: Room was sparkling clean and spacious. Linen was clean and good. The staff is helpful. Location is very convenient, just 2-3 minutes walk from the ferry dock.

Cons: There was no water and no material for tea/coffee in the room. There were no toiletries either. These are common provisions in any hotel.

Pros: The hotel is only 10 min by foot from the city center and the Svolvaer harbor passenger terminal. The room was clean and spacious, and had a fridge and a water boiler (electric kettle). The WLAN worked flawlessly.

Cons: The breakfast came in a huge plastic bag. The hotel should use more environmentally friendly packaging.

Pros: Location of the hotel was fine but getting there not easy because the street name was missing.

Cons: The breakfast was total disappointment,same choice every four morning.The room itself was clean ,windows were dirty and the backyard cluttered.The room was not very pleasant.

Pros: Easy to check in

Cons: On booking breakfast is include but we don' have breakfast.

Pros: Very clean and ok rooms. Location was close to perfect.

Cons: My booking stated a room with balcony, but got a room without. The «continental breakfast» was a plastic bag on the door. The content was quite ok.
