“Convenient location, great views, great overall.”
Location is incredible with great views from rooms and your balcony. Very central town location and easy to explore from here. Rooms nice and cosy & clean as you'd expect. Excellent breakfast and amazing view from dining room. Parking easy but we were there in a quieter season (mid May).

A very friendly and perfectly located hotel. The staff were lovely and our room ( we chose one with a balcony overlooking the harbour) was great. Although they only offer breakfast they do offer a packed lunch which was very reasonably priced at 90kon pp. They give you a cardboard box which you can then fill with whatever you choose from the breakfast buffet. They do have a bar and snacks area too.

“Perfect first few nights stay in Lofoten”
Perfect first few nights in Lofoten. We arrived late at night after a VERY windy flight into Evenes, picked up rental car and got on the road... by the time we arrived at accom it was almost midnight and WHAT a view to wake up to - just gorgeous. As always the Scandic breakfast was superb too, and the staff super friendly and helpful. We loved our stay here! Elec car charging right by the front door too. Everything you want in Svolvær is in easy walking distance, great location!

Really great breakfast buffet with plenty of traditional Norwegian food (e.g., brown cheese). Many options and did not get bored during my four days! Also a lovely, lovely hotel with a beautiful view in my room with the water-view and patio. Very quiet and safe to walk around, about 8 minute walk from the bus stop. Near grocery stores and fantastic restaurants!

“Cosy welcoming base with superb views”
Wonderful location with my balcony being over the water with views of the sunrise over Svinoya and the mountains to the left. Beautiful panoramic views of the harbour from the dining room, with all the staff so friendly and welcoming. Made me feel at home! Delicious breakfast and supper buffet. Excellent WiFi everywhere. Easy walk from sentrum bus stop, and into town for tour pickups.Totally safe for single traveller. Reception staff called a very efficient taxi when it started to snow!

“A pleasant stay.”
Great location near the harbour, with restaurants and shops just a short walk away. The surrounding views were beautiful. Although our room was a little small, it was very cosy and the bed was comfortable. We also enjoyed the breakfast buffet with a good selection.
