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.
Upgraded to a corner suite which was absolutely worth paying the extra for. The room and especially the view was fabulous. Any small issues were dealt with quickly. The hotel restaurant was fabulous. We had dinner there for one night and breakfast both mornings. The breakfast was absolutely amazing. Lots of choice, food was fresh and plentiful. Location was amazing as it was right on the harbour which afforded us the best views and meant we were in the heart of the town. Will definitely be back.
A lovely family run campsite close to Svolvær and the airport, with stunning views. It was quiet and cosy and I didn’t have to wait to use the bathroom and shower while I was there. The owners were incredibly friendly and helpful and I’d love to stay again one day. Bus services to Svolvær are infrequent but stop close to the campsite, and there are plenty of options to hike nearby. Our cabin was basic and cosy, with a very well equipped kitchen and even a kettle. We didn’t need anything extra.
Great ubication within Svolvær centre, very close to the starting points of the majority of the tours, I'm a latin boy, the hotel's personnel speak a very good English, so I could establish communication with them when I needed, the hotel is quiet enough to have a rest, the views from the room balcony were fantastic!
Most probably the best breakfast we ever had in Norway! The chef excelled himself and the variaties of goodies seemed to be coming in every sector of the food chain!
This hotel is simple, straight forward and every Penny worth it ! Congratulations !
The cabin was great! It was a great size and very comfortable. It was great to have a room to spread out more than a traditional hotel room. We will stay here when we come back in the summer. We had a great dinner at the restaurant at the property.
Quiet hotel, seemingly good noise insulation. Tea-boiler in a room. Possibility to use kitchen, fridge in the room (even if it's too big for such a small room). Good breakfast, and take-away breakfast in case of early departure. Big parking.
The breakfast was exceptional, lots of choices for any diet or dietary restrictions.
The room was barebones and simple with simple decor but pillows, beds and bedding were very comfortable.
The hotel is easy to find. The room was large and clean, as was the bathroom. Free parking out back and on a side street. Close enough to walk to the "downtown" area with restaurants.
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.
Amazing view of Svolvær, and walking distance to the harbor area where you find many restaurants.
The beds are very comfortable, and you have a fully equipped kitchen.
+ very good location between ferry and car rental, right in the city center and amazing sushi place right next to the hotel
+ fast self check-in
+ kettle in the room
