This was our biggest disappointment of our Norway trip. We spent 12 days traveling down from Tromso to Reine. The location was great but the hotel looked like it was falling apart. The sliding door to the patio didn't close. The staff was supposed to send someone but did not. The exterior looked in need of some work. If it wasn't such an expensive hotel, I may have overlooked this but for what you are paying you have better choices in Svolvair.

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.

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.

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!!!

There is no air conditioning anywhere in lofoten, which is completely fine. However, at this hotel in the sunroom, which is where you have breakfast there are no windows that can be opened. As a result, you are absolutely sweating, to which point I was becoming nauseous and could not eat breakfast. They need to change the design so you can open a window to get some airflow. Furthermore, when we went down to have breakfast, there was not one table available for us to sit at. The hotel has a small little patio seating area, which is lovely; obviously with the seating area being outside, you are going to get seagull poop, however, during the entire three day duration of our stay, they had not clean one of the patio chairs with the seagull poop on it. They just pushed it off to the side. Lastly, while we did book the standard book with a sea view, I was surprised at how small this room was. There was barely any room to open a There was barely any room to open a suitcase, and if you managed to open one suitcase, there was nowhere for you to walk.

I had a great two night stay here. The staff was so incredibly nice and the room was awesome. I’d definitely suggest going for a room with a private balcony as it was so lovely to just sit outside and read by the water at the end of the day.
