Hotel 4 bintang Svolvaer yang Popular

Wow. A lovely hotel in Svolvaer with amazing views. I had two different uperior double rooms on the 9th floor: one looking south over the sea and the next day looking north across the town and mountains. I saw the northern lights from my room and indeed on both nights that I was on the Lofoten Islands. I’ll attach photos for you to compare which view you like best. Do be aware though that if you go on the south side, cruise liners and other ships dock very close by. The breakfast is fantastic.

Hotel location is very good, right next to the docking harbour for cruises and there are a few car rental companies nearby. However, we arrived on a very busy day and they only had limited parking spots on a first come first served basis, so we had to park quite far away. The hotel lobby looked really grand, with coffee machines free for guests to use. Check in was quick and efficient. We quickly checked out the gym on 2nd floor, we didn't get to utilise it but the gym was very well equipped with Technogym equipment and even a squat rack! The room itself was clean and spacious, it was cloudy and rainy otherwise the view overlooking the docking port would have been fantastic. Buffet breakfast was another highlight, with lots of options and allergies / ingredients clearly labelled. Definitely try out their wide range of local cheeses, absolutely yummy!

Die Lage ist besser kaum vorstellbar. Das Appartement ist modern und komfortabel mit einem grandiosen Blick und kurzen Wegen zu Restaurants, Aktivitäten und Supermarkt. Die Küche ist spartanisch eingerichtet, aber die Nespressomaschine hat‘s rausgerissen. Unser Apartment war allerdings wirklich unglaublich heiß und auch an keinem Schalter regulierbar. Die Fußbodenheizung im Bad lief auf Hochtouren. Da dieses Problem auch in den Nachbarappartments so war (der Nachbar hat die Tür zum Treppenhaus aufgehalten, um Durchzug zu haben), scheint es ein grundlegendes zu sein.

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.

Das Hotel mit Self-Check-in (Code kommt per SMS, hat gut funktioniert) ist schlicht, aber funktional - unser Zimmer hatte einen Duschbereich, in dem das WC stand, etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig, aber es war sauber und ok. Eine große Kühlgefrierkombination im Zimmer gehörte auch zur Ausstattung ... Ohne Klimaanlage wird es in den nicht sehr großen Zimmern schnell warm, aber für uns war es noch ok. Die Lage ist etwas abseits des Hafenzentrums (eine Privatmarina liegt in der Nähe, daher wohl der Name). Das Frühstück war überraschend gut und auswahlreich - für das eher hohe Preisniveau auch auf den Lofoten ist das Hotel durchaus eine Option. Die Holzterrasse vor dem Hotel ist ein Feature für eigene Picknicks, es stehen auch zwei Küchen zur Nutzung zur Verfügung.

Our company arranged a trip for all our emplyees this October and Svinøya rorbuer made all the arrangments. We planned for some actitivies, some conferences and nice dinners. Everything including transport, dining, activities like rib tour & sauna, conference room was arranged by them. All we had to do was to follow the scheduled plan. Their restaurant Børsen was excellent and the accomodation was also great in rorbu practically on the sea. Thanks for having us!
