Hotel Vagan dengan Sarapan

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.

This hotel has a beautiful location. That’s about all it has going for it. The staff is surly and the food is pretty horrible. Instead of a guest-centric attitude, their attitude seems to be “this is how it is, too bad”. Examples include: - kicking us out of the sauna because guests who are skiers are only allowed to use it from 4-6pm - refusing to put the local version of Nutella they have at breakfast out for waffles, despite multiple guest requests. Apparently because people would like it too much and they would “be going through loads of it”. Truly astonishing. - scolding guests for drinking cans of beer (in lieu of paying the exorbitant prices at the lodge) - hot tub only open two days a week. Water is filthy and lukewarm The food is tasteless and of low quality with no variety. Cod and boiled potatoes for dinner, the same yogurt and muesli for breakfast every day. So much so that we twice elected to leave and pay for expensive meals in Svolvaer just to avoid eating another dinner here. I can’t imagine coming here as a couple since the rooms are tiny and basic - glad I was here with some ski buddies as my wife would have insisted we leave based on the unfriendly attitude and poor food.

Abbiamo soggiornato una notte in uno dei Rorbu affacciati sul mare e tutto è’ stato perfetto. Check-in alle 15 in un pomeriggio invernale sotto la neve. Cottage comodo e pulito, con un soggiorno a completo affaccio sul mare sul porticato privato. La vista da sola vale il soggiorno. Cucina attrezzata. 2 camere comode. Solo il bagno ci ha un po’ deluso ma il resto lo fa ampiamente dimenticare. Il posto e’ incantevole, uno dei più belli delle Lofoten. Abbiamo usato anche la SPA (a pagamento). Piccolina ma ad uso privato per 1.30h con sauna e hot tube con viste pazzesche. Un posto dove piacerebbe tornare.

We stayed three nights last December. Our room and bathroom were compact (but clean and tidy). We didn’t mind as we knew we weren’t going to spend much time in there. Limited amenities. We had a balcony that looked out on the water. Beautiful view. Our room was located on the ground floor, close to the reception area so quite a lot of foot traffic and noise. Housekeeping did a good job. No complaints there. We enjoyed the copious and varied breakfast buffet. To be noted, parking wasn’t free and was in fact quite expensive.

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.

budget hotel in the city, without reception service. No problem with that, but there is no flexibility and very difficult to contact the hotel. It gets a good stars because the cleaning lady was kind and helped us.

Hotel di recente costruzione , stanze ampie e ben arredate. Belle quelle vista mare. Personale estremamente cortese e professionale. Colazione da 10 e lode. Offre una ampissima scelta di tutto anzi di più di ciò che si può chiedere per una colazione.

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.
