Amazing location, great hotel. The one thing worth noting- the hotel restaurant is not always available, so plan to eat elsewhere much of the time. But this is such a small thing, easily outweighed by the positive overall experience we had at the hotel.

Great location, ample parking and 4 EV chargers so the hotel is a perfect stopover or base camp for exploring the Lofoten islands by car. We opted for a balcony harbour view room and it did not disappoint. We had views of the harbour and the constant stream of ferries, cruise ships, tour boats and private vessels. As always in Norway, the buffet breakfast was excellent and had something for everyone’s taste.

Svolvaer's best hotel with best view.

It was a very relaxing and welcoming environment. Highly recommend this hotel. The staff are kind and hospitable and the breakfast was scrumptious and the best breakfast we had on a month long Europe trip.

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.

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.

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.

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.
