Furu Hostel

Quiet, peaceful location Communal rooms to meet fellow travellers

My husband and I stayed in the apartment and it was fantastic. The rooms were clean and the kitchen allowed us to cook at home. The laundry facilities were I. The main building but you paid a small fee and booked a time. It was not a problem and was easy.

Staff were incredible - super friendly and helpful, more so than anywhere else we stayed all trip, they really made the stay for us. A few small maintenance issues, like the showers kept seeming to clog which meant there was often only one available on our floor - but this was probably the extent of our issues. Big, comfortable bed in our private room. Room was much bigger than we expected. Great to have access to laundry facilities and a well equipped kitchen (kitchen is small, but they’ve done a good job with what they have). All in all, a great budget place to stay in the Lofoten Islands. Great vibe, lovely staff.

Friendly staff and volunteers. NOTE: The kitchen is only open from 8am-10pm. The door is locked after these hours making it extremely inconvenient for those who wake up early for a morning hike or those who arrive late and want to prepare a meal. You cannot access your own food when locked and there are no alternative fridges in the hostel. There are no exceptions. The laundry is only open from 4pm. You are unable to do any washing in the morning. There are no exceptions. If you decide to bring alcohol, you are not permitted to store it in the fridges in the kitchen. There are no other fridges for storage. They don't like their patrons to consume alcohol within the hostel and ask that it is consumed outside by the lake. Not sure how this works during inclement weather conditions. There is no 24hr common area with other fridges or kettle. If you decide to do your washing, you must pay a fee for this. They will ask you to tip them upon payment. If you decide to use the Cafe, they will ask you to tip them, once again. This is not a budget friendly hostel.

Beautiful place, great common area both inside and outside. We had late check in and it worked great. Cafe is delicious, loved the sauna and the apartment room was comfortable and had outdoor space as well.

Very cozy. Residence have access to drying room and kitchen

Excellent accommodation and location. Stagg were very friendly and accomodating. We stayed for the opening night of the restaurant and were nit disappointed!

Wonderful place with friendly & helpful staff. And Northern Lights appeared on our second night there.

Decent and clean apartment but it was different to the one in the photos that we booked. It was clean. Only annoying bit was the bathroom drain was blocked and there was no dish soap. Overall, great location to see the northern lights and cute surroundings with a lake at 100m.

Liked the lakeside location and coziness. Stayed in one of the double bedrooms 3 nights. Everything was good but there are signs letting you know of quiet times due to noise carrying throughout the building very easily. Unfortunately, not everyone adhered to the quiet times and I was woken up multiple times throughout my stay with people moving around, talking, and slamming doors. Something to consider if you’re a light sleeper.

Everything was very good about the stay.

I would definitely recommend staying at FURU it's in a nice location and the food is amazing! The Hostel it's self is nice and clean and quick check in and right in front of the bus stop. Thanks for an amazing stay!

Very cozy and relaxed place. It is a hostel with some full equipped cabins attached - very nice staff and VERY relaxed atmosphere

Underbar vistelse på Furu Hostel, en riktig idyll bland de norska fjällen. Rekommenderar starkt.

Veldig fint hostel, sjarm, hyggelige ansatte, god seng med mykt sengetøy, romslig rom, god frokost, lunsj og middag. Renhold hver dag på felles bad. Selvsagt noen som ikke er så flinke til å rydde etter seg, derfor veldig ålreit at renhold er innom. Er ganske lytt mellom rommene. Men ellers en veldig bra opplevelse.

Confortable lumineux bien placé agréable

La stanza si trova all'interno di una splendida casa sul lago ristrutturata. Tutto corrisponde a descrizione e foto, i servizi offerti sono innumerevoli. Cucina sublime è personale gentile. È un alloggio che sicuramente consiglio.

Emplacement au calme. Appartement très sympa spacieux. 2 grandes chambres. Un p’tit côté vintage appréciable. Accueil adorable!!

Mycket trevlig personal. Mysigt lite annorlunda boende

Veldig koselig overnatting, med fin lokalisasjon og hyggelig personale.
