Scandic Svolvær

Awesome place!

Location

Got stuck in a ground floor parking lot-facing room. Biggest advantage was relative affordability.

Really good location by the water on the harbour. Very good breakfast. Room was small and a little overpriced. Staff were really friendly and helpful.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Rude and untrustworthy

Beautiful setting with balcony over water. Clean, friendly environment. Breakfast was very nice.

Great

This was our biggest disappointment of our Norway trip. We spent 12 days traveling down from Tromso to Reine. The location was great but the hotel looked like it was falling apart. The sliding door to the patio didn't close. The staff was supposed to send someone but did not. The exterior looked in need of some work. If it wasn't such an expensive hotel, I may have overlooked this but for what you are paying you have better choices in Svolvair.

Hotel view was spectacular, perfect location, easy for the ferry and yours. Best breakfast selection. Staff lovely

There is no air conditioning anywhere in lofoten, which is completely fine. However, at this hotel in the sunroom, which is where you have breakfast there are no windows that can be opened. As a result, you are absolutely sweating, to which point I was becoming nauseous and could not eat breakfast. They need to change the design so you can open a window to get some airflow. Furthermore, when we went down to have breakfast, there was not one table available for us to sit at. The hotel has a small little patio seating area, which is lovely; obviously with the seating area being outside, you are going to get seagull poop, however, during the entire three day duration of our stay, they had not clean one of the patio chairs with the seagull poop on it. They just pushed it off to the side. Lastly, while we did book the standard book with a sea view, I was surprised at how small this room was. There was barely any room to open a There was barely any room to open a suitcase, and if you managed to open one suitcase, there was nowhere for you to walk.

Lovely ground floor room with balcony. Free breakfast was welcome and location is walking distance to everything. Great stay thank you.

At 77 years old, we lots of trouble getting up and down the stairs with our luggage. Won't stay here again for that reason. We had the buffet. The food was average at best.

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.

Amazing Breakfast

Great location on the waterfront. Staff very helpful.
