Perfect stay for us.

Top notch place for our Lofoten experiences. To the cruise right out the door, to the galleries close by, the information center next door, the friendly and helpful staff, to the unrivaled breakfast, and the energy efficient features that make so much sense, this hotel fit our bill for our week-long stay.

What a view and wow breakfast

Wonderful hotel right on the harbor with an incredible mountain view. And that breakfast is fantastic--huge breakfast buffet with something for everyone! Would highly recommend. And it's centrally located and walkable to restaurants and attractions--many tours pick up right in front. Loved it!

Lifan

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
It was extremely noisy. The bar next to the hotel (in the same building) had VERY LOUD music EVERY NIGHT during our stay. I complained to the front desk staff and did not get any help. The music did not stop until after the mid night (2am to be exact). The shower are in the hotel room is practically unuseable, although we had a Business Class Room. Bad experiance!

Basically i am Diamond and Platinum member of different hotel groups and couldn´t find a hotel of that group nearby. Therefore i booked a family room with my family at Thon Hotel Lofoten. What should I say. It is my second time in Svolvaer. Compared to the Hotel "Scandic" this hotel was a great experience. Especially the breakfast variety was one of the best and greatest i ever had.

Melody

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The hotel was in a great location for walking along the pier and the staff was very friendly. We ran into two issues. First our room was 339 and it was in a separate building which requires some navigating and also 2 sets of stairs AFTER using the elevator, which was kind of awkward. Then the odor from the garage permeated into the elevator and into our vehicle. There must be some other place to keep the garbage or at least a way to keep the smell down. Other than that we had a great stay and the breakfast buffet was wonderful!!!
