Wonderful hotel to stay at
We had a lovely stay in our junior suite, room 212, the view was fantastic watching the Hurtigruten coming and going and the whole of the harbour.
The staff were absolutely amazing especially when our taxi didn’t turn up to take us to the airport for our return flight. The hotel reception allowed one of their staff to drive us to the airport thus reducing the stress we were experiencing

Room was clean and cosy. Kitchen was sufficiently equipped for food prep and cooking. Heaters in kitchen and living room broke down on the last night of our stay but good that hotel provided a portable heater. Would be good if hotel could provide larger waste bin in the kitchen.
Would also be good if reception was open for longer on weekends or at least have a contact number to call when it was closed.
Breakfast was yummy with a good spread. Loved the waffle-maker.
The views from our room rorbuer suite 216 were awesome - it was right next to the water, with views of Svinoya Rorbuer located on the opposite island.
Best part was that we could see the auroras from the comfort of our room - on all the nights of our stay and took wonderful pics and videos of the auroras!
Next time we come, we will definitely stay longer! ;)

We like the fact that it was a self-contained cabin -it was very comfortable, homely and above all quiet with a spectacular views all around it. The staff in the front office were very welcoming and helpful. If we visit this area in the future, we will certainly stay there and recommend it to our friends.. what?

Good location for a short stay in Svolvaer
I stayed for 1 night and found the accommodation satisfactory for that time, I am not sure I'd want to stay longer. I thought the cabin was a little tired looking and could do with some updates. I stayed in much nicer places elsewhere in Lofoten. Breakfast was OK although the coffee machine was broken. The location was good though.

Convenient and with loads of local character
Anker Brygge is perfectly situated in the middle of town, with lots of outdoor tables for enjoying the harbor views. The cabins have been tastefully preserved with antique fixtures while also having all the modern amenities. I was particularly thankful for the reception staff who helped us quickly secure transport to the airport when other options were not available. Breakfast buffet was plentiful and delicious!

Amazing cosy, warm and comfortable cabin with fantastic views. Couldn’t have asked for more!!
Great breakfast in the morning and I loved the waffles!
Great staff, every one I met had a smile and very very helpful. Thanks to the reception staff in particular who reassured me when I was a day late arriving due to bad weather and helped the day I was leaving by extending my departure time.
Great from start to finish. Loved my stay here

Our stay at the Anker Brygge was wonderful, it was our favorite place while we were in Norway. The view from our rooms were all fantastic, the picnic table outside a wonderful place to enjoy a warm evening. The breakfast in the morning was great too.
The only thing that could be better is the support from the staff. I needed some help due to an emergency but the lady at the front desk didn’t seem very happy that she had to help me wiith a simple phone call. In the middle of the night, the fire alarms started blaring in all the buildings. Everyone came outside but there was no staff to tell us what was going on. After 10 minutes or so, the alarm stopped and we all went back to sleep hoping it was just a false alarm. It would have been nice to be reassured all is okay.

There is easy, free on-site parking. It is located at the heart of Svolvaer. We booked the Rorbu Suite, the entire suite is spacious. The windows of the bedroom had black-out curtains. Staff have been accomodating.
However, we are sorry to say that we did not enjoy much of our stay here. The suite we booked was located on the top floor above the pub with no lift, and we each had a 20 kg luggage. The shower has been nice, but the boiler required some time to re-heat and we would not recommend the second person who would like to shower to do it immediately after the first. The suite itself was tidy but not very clean; I could see visible yellowish stains on the mattress of the bunk beds.
The most troubling issue of all was the odour; the whole suite somehow carried a very strong smell, much alike the smell you would find on an old ship. I am not sure if it was from the direct sunlight exposure to the roof from the previous sunny day, or from the actual ship decor inside, but the smell was there and it was overpowering. We tried opening all the balcony doors to ventilate and it helped little. We tried switching to another room on the same floor and the smell was the same, only lessened to a slight degree; the smell did affect my sleep.
