Good and complete breakfast, good room and good sea view near the port. There is no boat/ferry noise in the room. I hadn't booked the room with balcony because it cost more, but I had it. I think the room has been upgraded, absolutely welcome.

A suitable length of stay would depend largely on the time of year.
There are many options for mountain walking in summer, less when snow covers the paths and countryside. Day Trips can be made to explore other scenic towns and villages by the local bus, along the island. Very scenic opportunities for photography with the changes in weather. Interesting short walks around Svolvaer and the harbour, boats, colourful buildings and rocky inlets scenery.

Svolvaer has the iconic architecture and "feel" of the Lofoten Islands but is large enough to have some choice in restaurants and easy access to most services. There are many museums and attractions nearby and just driving through the countryside yields spectacular views. Parking in town is limited and expensive, but the central parking lot is free after 7 PM.

Fantastic holiday in Svolvaer.
Fantastic holiday in Svolvaer. A photographers paradise from Fjord excursions to a road trip further a field.
My key highlights were the RIB Sea Eagles tour with Lofoten Explorers and the 5hr road trip with Lofoten Lights tour operators.
I will definitely be returning to see the Northern lights.

My son and I stayed here due to a change in our itinerary.
My son and I stayed here due to a change in our itinerary. We booked the location because it was close to the airport and it was reasonably priced. On the good side the location was on the water and walking distance to the center of town. The room offered a kitchenette with a table and two beds. One could access the deck overlooking the water. The people working the desk were very helpful, even booking a taxi for us to the airport. The bathroom is shared and the desk is closed at night. You have to walk to town for meals or stop by the nearby Circle K gas station for coffee and/or food if you don’t plan to cook. Rooms were upstairs, and there is no elevator.

Most convenient location for visiting the Lofoten islands. The pier for the exceedingly beautiful Trollfjord trip is walking distance from Svinoya.
The enterprising can hike the Djevelporten peak , which has steps for about 50% distance.

Svolvaer is a great pictures town with a bery nice water front.
The restaurants and coffee shops are great and there a lot of activities all around.
We used it as a base camp as we drove all around the amazing Lofoten islands for six days.
I really like how big the room is. I booked for 3 guests, but my room can actually fit for 4 adults and 2 children. The room has its own underroof area and equipped with everything from microwave to kettle, kitchen ware. The location is great. Although it is located in center of Svolvær and there are many restaurants around the hotel, but the hotel is so quiet and private. Breakfast is very good and variety, they serve smoked Salmon and fresh baked waffle as well. My Mom and Dad said this is the best hotel for 15 days trip in Scandinavia.
Modern fully equipped high end apartment right on the waterfront. It had a bedroom, full well stocked kitchen, and the most comfortable pull out couch I’ve ever slept on. It even had a washer and dryer and the patio was lovely. It was right next to the pier where the tour boats and passenger ferry terminal. It even had warm underground parking and elevators. Great wifi and good lighting. We loved it and it felt like home so we stayed there twice, at the beginning and end of our Lofoten adventure
Exc upscale hotel in heart of downtown Svolvaer, Lofoten Islands Norwary...
Front desk staff very friendly and helpful, excellent breakfast spread, with coffee available v early on.
Bathroom actually has a bit of counter space, which is rare in nearly all of Europe/Scandinavia.
Shower stall itself is tight for tall/large shouldered man: typical.
Rate was v good as we were there in early October; I suspect rate is much higher in season, esp August.
Very great hotel!! Everything is very clean. The staff was very very friendly and help you with everything you need. They message you via message and whatever you want, they assist you with. The beds were very comfortable. The room amazing view to the lake. The location of the hotel is great, very close by to everything you need. You can book the trip directly with the hotel for a very cheap price. And the breakfast buffet was amazing, so so tasty.
Really nice breakfast with the ordinary dishes expected in a good hotel breakfast. The view from the hotel (and the breakfast rooms) is really nice as it almost sits on top of the water. In the distance you can see the towering mountains that are so, so beautiful. In addition to all this the tourist attractions are super close, but that should be expected as the village isn't that big. I really liked staying here!
Breakfast was the Best we’ve ever had.
Location is in front of pier, great view from our window.
We’ve upgraded to a higher floor and it was worth it. Big room, warm bathroom floor.
Taxi from airport is about $30. There’s a number in wall of arrival area to call for taxi. It’s like a private pickup since there’s no taxis waiting outside the airport(we arrived late evening).
Beautiful location in Svolvær right on the water and close to a great hiking trail. The owner, Kurt, greeted us and showed us the place when we arrived and was very helpful with some good tips on where to go. The unit was very clean, spacious and cozy with all the amenities you’d need. Our family of 4 was very comfortable. Laundry in the unit was an added bonus!
We really recommend staying at this hotel —good accessible location, clean rooms, great communication, and a delicious colourful breakfast await. Plus, they offer luggage storage during the day for free.
Many thanks!
Greetings

The location was excellent and came off the ferry a few minutes walk to the hotel. The breakfast was excellent and the staff also excellent. They arranged a taxi for me to the airport. When flight was changed rearranged taxi. Great service
The place had everything I needed for a great stay in Svolvær. The bed, although small, was very comfortable and the room spacious. The bathroom was very clean. As a solo traveler, I felt very safe. I strongly recommend it.
Very friendly and helpful host. He picked us up at the jetty where we arrived on the hurtigbåt from Bodø and dropped us off at the hotel where we moved on to in Svolvær.
