Great staff and a really good location. Cool view and balcony

10/10 Exceptional

Traveled with my daughter to Svolvær. We had a balcony room which I would say is a must, far better to be able to relax above the water and watch the boats go by than to look over a parking lot. The room and en suite were both comfortable and spacious enough that the two of us did not feel cramped. I would love to know what the mattresses were made of. Throughout Norway all of them were the same three inch thick material but immensely comfortable. Seemed like a very green choice. The staff was welcoming and helpful during check in and out and any time we had a question. We ate the breakfast buffet once, it had extensive fresh and delicious choices, well worth the price. Overall A+ accomidations.

This is the second time I stay at this Scandic Svolvaer. The room is clean, has view of the water. Staffs are very helpful. Located near the city center, shopping, sight-seeing tour operators and restaurants. The room price is very reasonable. Just the right price point for the location.
And I saw a Northern Light from my room window

Great 1 night stay. The rooms are very efficient :) but the stay overall was great. And the breakfast, my goodness, absolutely amazing. Book the place just for the breakfast and the view in the lobby dining area. Would definitely stay again without question.

10/10 Exceptional

Great, comfortable room with a balcony over the water. At night we saw the northern lights beautifully and strong, a few times. No restaurant in the hotel, but plenty of restaurants within a 5 minute walk. Grocery store / small mall also just a 10 minute walk. Located in on a small island and just 2 hours drive from Reine and Å (the last of the lofoten island) we originally came for 1 days but stayed an extra night with no problems and they gave us a laate check out at 2pm with no additional charge. Breakfast was good

A great place to stay in Svolvaer. The staff were very welcoming, and after a delayed flight arriving in the evening it was great to walk in and find an evening buffet available! Breakfast also had a wide range of options and was the perfect way to start the day. The location in Svolvaer is very convenient for everything and being on its own little island is obviously pretty scenic. I'd happily stay here again.

I had a great two night stay here. The staff was so incredibly nice and the room was awesome. I’d definitely suggest going for a room with a private balcony as it was so lovely to just sit outside and read by the water at the end of the day.
