Fast Hotel Svolvær

Convenient location to shops and bus stop. Staff were very quick to answer the phone and resolve issues (code not working). Clean and comfortable rooms.

Very clean room with spacious bathroom. Heating in both worked very well. Excellent convenient location across the road from the main ferry terminal (for the Hurtigruten and Havila coastal voyages) and Airport Express Bus stop. Local bus stops, supermarket, shopping mall with pharmacy, Tromso's pedestrian high street (Storgata) and northern lights tour meeting points are all within 5 minutes walk. My arrival was delayed by 17 hours due to the last minute cancellation of 2 long haul connections by the airline but the hotel held my room booking for me when I messaged them en route. The included buffet breakfast was excellent! Andy at the reception desk was very kind and nice when I finally made it to check-in at 12 midnight. He told me where I could walk along the waterfront to see the northern lights. After an exhausting and unexpectedly stressful 45 hour journey and 4 flights, it was a welcome relief for check-in to go so smoothly. Note: Photos on the hotels.com and official hotel website showed the double standard rooms have sea views but this is not the case. Room 728 has a slightly obstructed city view.

Simple, warm, clean & quiet room with mini/bar fridge, kettle & hair dryer. Heating works really well including the bathroom. Good value budget hotel for the Lofoten region and Norway generally. Big window so you can look up at the night sky to check for aurora (northern lights). Conveniently located opposite the ferry terminal, Hertz car rental, and a 3 minute walk to the waterfront pier. Small parking lot is in front of the hotel - appears to be free from 7pm-8am on Monday-Friday, and 5pm-7am on the weekend. Free for first 15 minutes which is handy in case you forgot something and need to briefly dash back up to your room.
