I was most pleased with how helpful and friendly the staff was. There was a last minute cancellation of one leg of my travel, and the staff was exceptionally helpful in helping me get an alternative, which would have been impossible for me as it was all in a foreign language!

Great bar and service

Fantastic. Only draw back is hotels in Europe have very little to no air conditioning. As an American we strive to book hotels in Europe which offer air conditioning. The air conditioning in room barely cooled off anything. Comfortable stay, loved the breakfast buffet!

One of the best hotels & super affordable

Couldn't have asked for a better hotel experience in Svolvær. Beautiful lobby with free coffee. WiFi speeds were great for some remote work/downloading some offline content for later travel. Room was immaculate, and the bathroom had a rainfall shower and heated floor, which was fantastic. TV in the room was even equipped with a sound bar you could connect your phone to and play music from, or enjoy TV (your own Netflix or other casted media) without the tinny sound from the TV. Staff was super friendly, and the hotel was located smack-dab in the middle of Svolvær, making it easy to get everywhere around the city.
