Scandic group of hotels definitely has some standard to it. Dinner buffet was reasonably priced and has a good variety. However, this hotel has no free parking available for guests and one would have to pay for parking. Considering the location of it being on Lofoten where driving is almost a necessity, I find this very odd.

A great place to stay in Svolvaer. The staff were very welcoming, and after a delayed flight arriving in the evening it was great to walk in and find an evening buffet available! Breakfast also had a wide range of options and was the perfect way to start the day. The location in Svolvaer is very convenient for everything and being on its own little island is obviously pretty scenic. I'd happily stay here again.

Beautiful Svolvaer

Wonderful hotel, short walk into town. Loved the view from the restaurant at breakfast time. The only disappointing thing was, no nice cheese board. I miss the blue and goats slcheeses offered at other hotels.

Eco-hotel? Not especially.

Nice place, good food. One issue: We had a room with a balcony overlooking the water. During most, maybe all, the hours of darkness, the light was on outside and could not be turned off from the room. I suppose this is to make the hotel look attractive from a distance. However, this means that the view you pay for ends up being obscured by light and reflections. Fat chance of seeing Northern lights when you have light pollution right above your head. AND the hotel makes a big thing about having an eco-conscience and the constant lights you can't turn off rather undermine this (yes, I'm sure they are LEDS - but then so are the ones inside which you are always encouraging us to switch off!) Personally I find all this "we wont wash your towels and we won't clean your room unless you ask' rather insulting. So it kind of makes sense, but do you really think we won't notice that you are also trying to reduce your costs? The leaflet that suggests that we won't 'sleep with a clear conscience' if we ask for too much is going too far, and really a kind of emotional blackmail. Tell head office to back off on this.

The front desk staff were very friendly and efficient, especially “Dougie”. He was so nice to let me check in earlier than schedule. Also, I really liked the breakfast buffet. Lots of options. The Scandinavian design of the building, the location of the hotel, the cleanliness and view from the balcony of my room—so delightful. I’ve been all over…and this hotel ranks way up there!!!

Overall a very nice stay.

The room while compact was nice and had a small table and chair. While we appreciate eco-friendliness, the toilet paper was really rough and nowhere to hang the hand towels. Best part was the varied breakfast spread and complimentary tea and coffee from a proper machine which is much better than an individual machine in your room.

Perfect for a stopover

Located off the main strip. Paid public parking outside the hotel. Reception was helpful, explaining the parking situation and suggesting local restaurant options. The weekend breakfast spread was outstanding. Room was a little dated, but we had a comfortable night.

One face towel provided in room. Hotel rooms reminiscent if ND man-camp. Fit for purpose. Pay for parking! "Hotel does not own ground around building"!! Neat concept when you can get away with it.

a very tired place

Mixed feelings about this place. It definitely screams for an upgrade, everything is extremely old and the room was tiny. We got the room with "best view" as they describe it, with a balcony. That made the room great. Most other rooms overlook a parking lot. Carpet going to the room was disgusting. Dinner at the hotel was not available because it was sold out to the tour groups, which I suspect is the case every night. Breakfast was free and just amazing- breakfast of champions! With Norwegian, European and American offerings. It was huge and great. They offer tea and coffee 24hr for free.

The hotel was well located. It had some amenities eg bathrobes. But no tea & coffee making or shower caps. However, plenty of beverages available from the dining room free of charge so that made up for it. The room had a little balcony which was nice to sit on in the sunny weather.
