Svolvaer's best hotel with best view.

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.

We had a room with a balcony overlooking the water, which was very nice. There were also good blackout curtains, which helps sleeping with the midnight sun.

Not worth the 300e I paid for

There was a very loud party in a bar next door. It continued until 3 a.m and I couldn't sleep because of it. The air conditioning did not work. We only stayed for a one night, so I didn't try to change the room. The hotel was really expensive and this was disappointing.

Silent surroundings, very small room and lack of storgage. No lounge area to sit and hang out in sofas and armchairs, wishing for more cozy hangout especially when the weather has been rough to be out in, and that it would devided from ordinary restaurant.

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.

Great, comfortable room with a balcony over the water. At night we saw the northern lights beautifully and strong, a few times. No restaurant in the hotel, but plenty of restaurants within a 5 minute walk. Grocery store / small mall also just a 10 minute walk. Located in on a small island and just 2 hours drive from Reine and Å (the last of the lofoten island) we originally came for 1 days but stayed an extra night with no problems and they gave us a laate check out at 2pm with no additional charge. Breakfast was good

This is the second time I stay at this Scandic Svolvaer. The room is clean, has view of the water. Staffs are very helpful. Located near the city center, shopping, sight-seeing tour operators and restaurants. The room price is very reasonable. Just the right price point for the location.
And I saw a Northern Light from my room window

Ottima soluzione per visitare le lofoten, in quanto Svolvaer è in una ubicazione baricentrica. Ma l’hotel ha necessità di un refitting (moquette sdrucita e sollevata nei corridoi, attrezzature per il caffè-cioccolata che non funzionano), inoltre per farsi fare la pulizia della camera occorre utilizzare una app e si dimenticano la programmazione, quando solleciti non ti rifanno il letto e non ti sostituiscono gli asciugamani, allora devi risollecitare e tutto torna a posto. Ma così non va. L’hotel è nel centro e si possono prenotare a 50 metri le varie gite di mezza giornata in barca. La colazione è completa, ma manca varietà di dolci e di salati

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.

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.
