Search Svolvaer Hotels

The room is spacious and comfortable. The bathroom equipment is also good. The hot water is enough. There are disposable slippers. The second time I stayed on the return trip, the margarita pizza is delicious. Recommended recommendation is really good.

Always call Ctrip to confirm the room number and check-in code before departure! I have already told Ctrip that this hotel has no staff, smart check-in! Still don't give it to me! Finally, I had to go to the front desk of the hotel to call and ask! Then the front desk of the hotel said that the password had actually been sent to me early in the morning! But Ctrip only gave a string of numbers! Said that you can get the room number and password on the machine! What a waste of my time and phone bills!

Despite being in Svolvaer, the less charming village of Lofoten, being distant on an island, having the Rorbuer with traditional architecture makes it a charming place. We chose a Rorbu looking at the sea and from the same door we could enjoy one of the best auroras we have seen throughout the trip to Norway.

My visit to Lofoten was solely because of the Northern Lights. As a solo traveler. a central location, inexpensive, safe, clean are the key factors i base on for the hotel search. Fast Hotel’s convenient location, self-check in, are superb. But during my stay, from check-in till the next morning, the entrance door to my room could not be locked at all and i had to go out without locking my room. Till the next morning a young male employee promised to help fixing it. He did. Was and am grateful to him. On the second night, i ended up not searching for northern light but the LIGHT - electricity broke down and internet connection was also down - from before midnight till 01:29. - and the hotel main entrance door, usually remains closed and is to be opened via pin code - now the sensor is not working (it is now 03:45, still not working), making my plan of going out to observe the northern light and coming back to the hotel not possible. Somehow, during the wee hours at the lobby i met someone who works nearby and stays at the same hotel, taught me how to manully open the faulty main entrance glass door (just use hands, with slight force, to manually slide open the glass doors to both sides. It didn’t require much force at all.) While technical hiccups can be rectified, here is my suggestion to the Hotel - please install a light for writing desk. The whole room has only two side table bed lights. No general light for the room at all (there are recessed ceiling lights but switches cannot be found). At the writing desk, a light sauce is a must-have. That said, i still like the hotel a lot because of its location and self-check in, completely without a Reception counter/area - that is wonderful. G reat is also he closeness to the bus terminal (not noisy at all) is pivotal as the buses (running infrequently in Lofoten) are the “lifeline” for those who visit Lofoten without a rented car. As a solo traveller, i will want to come back to this (and/or similar) Fast Hotel. i like it. It is like a trusted friend, sometimes not feeling well, but a friend is a friend.

The hotel with self-checking (code comes by SMS, has worked well) is simple but functional - our room had a shower area where the toilet was standing, something habitual, but it was clean and OK. A large refrigerator combination in the room was also included with equipment ... Without air conditioning it will be warm in the not very large rooms quickly, but for us it was still OK. The hotel is located just a little away from the port centre (a private marina is nearby, so probably the name). Breakfast was surprisingly good and selective - for the rather high price level also on the lofoten is the hotel a perfect option. The wooden terrace in front of the hotel is a feature for your own picknicks, there are also two kitchens available for use.

This is just a great hotel. Location is the best, and the ever best hotel breakfast I have had in Norway. (and I have had a lot of them) One thing that irritates me is that when we checked in the receptionist did not speak Norwegian., so I had to communicate in English. I really think that as a Norwegian holidaying in my own country I should be able to speak my own language. And front office staff should speak Norwegian in addition to other languages. Except for this this hotel is very good.....

Prior to the pandemic we booked a waterfront Rorbu at Anker Brygge - our dream vacation to stay in a waterfront fishing cabin in Lofoten. Covid happened and plans got deferred. To their credit Anker Brygge extended our reservation twice (for 2 years) as we had paid for it in advance. We reconfirmed in writing on several occasions our arrival, and reconfirmed that what we had booked had not changed. However, upon arrival they confirmed our reservation, but announced they had decided to give our Rorbu to someone else, and then stuck us in one of the antiquated apartments above the bar. Just great in the land of the midnight sun when closing time for a bar is an uncertainty. What is particularly irksome is that we had reconfirmed the details of our reservation in writing, arrived first to the facility on day of checkin, spoke to the manager about the importance of Rorbu accommodation to our vacation plans - only to see guests arriving after us, and the next day, get assigned Rorbu and we were stuck in this crummy apartment. If they had been upfront with us to begin with, and told us they had no intention of ”really” honouring our reservation, we could have made a booking at one of the hundreds of other really wonderful Rorbu on Lofoton. Crummy, vacation wrecking, experience.

Self-driving Rovedon Islands, fortunately stayed in Svolver for one night, this hotel seems to be the best hotel here, just by the sea, the scenery downstairs is very beautiful. The front desk lady is warm and beautiful, and the breakfast is full. The room is small, but the bathroom facilities are very complete, and there is no problem sleeping for one night. The only downside is that you can't park for free and you need to download an app to pay. Overall a very good experience

If this would be a game of ”rock, paper, scissors”, nature would definately beat luxury. This is by no means a luxury hotel if you think of standards and comfort levels - but the surroundings are stunning, the air is crisp and fresh and you have the sea just around the corner. Spend the extra money to use the spa and sauna one evening and be bold and dive into the sea. It is an experience you will not forget in the first place. Basic standard in the rooms, but you have everything you need. Stairs up to the bedrooms are rather steep, so be careful.

Stayed in Skårungen two nights on tour in Lofoten. It it a cozy and very relaxing place to stay, and the breakfast is just what you need to wake up and get going. I stayed in the hotel part of Skårungen above the restaurant, and it was quiet and nice. The beds are fantastic. Would definitely recomend Skårungen if you need a place to stay close to Svolvær and all that Lofoten has to offer.
