Beautiful setting with balcony over water. Clean, friendly environment. Breakfast was very nice.
It was a very relaxing and welcoming environment. Highly recommend this hotel. The staff are kind and hospitable and the breakfast was scrumptious and the best breakfast we had on a month long Europe trip.
Great 1 night stay. The rooms are very efficient :) but the stay overall was great. And the breakfast, my goodness, absolutely amazing. Book the place just for the breakfast and the view in the lobby dining area. Would definitely stay again without question.
Excellent breakfast, also great to have free tea all day. Room was really quiet.
Only negatives were leaky shower that sprayed everywhere and broken bathroom door handle but these didn’t affect our enjoyment.
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.
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.
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.
The location of this hotel was great. It overlooked the sea which is nice when having breakfast and its conveniently located in Svolvaer close to other shops and establishments. The condition of the room was clean and very comfortable.
