Svinøya Rorbuer, Svolvær

This place is a must if you can! It is so quaint, with amazing views, and incredible dinners! It has a kitchen which was nice, given that my daylight was short. I was able to go to the store and grab some things and enjoy my cozy place after my activities.

The only con of this place is that it is across the bridge, so if it's raining, you just have to walk about 10-15m to get to the shops, but the hotel had a large umbrella in my room, so this wasn't a problem for me.

The floating sauna in Svlovær is also part of this property, so I loved having just a quick 2-minute walk from my room to the sauna (the views from this sauna are unreal.. highly suggest!)

Very nice hotel with individual cabins next to the water an excellent location close to the port. Breakfast is ample but not as varied as with other hotels. A good place to stay for a few days to visit Lofoten and learn about the fishing tradition of the stock fish trade. The hotel is not one building and it’s pleasant to walk to the main reception and restaurant from the cabin.

We had our own fisherman cabin!

A very special spot in the world, with great charm and unbelievable views. Finding our cabin was a bit confusing, as it was easy to confuse our cabin number with a private home with the same address. Upon check-out, we were taken aback at having to strip the linens and take out the trash ourselves (or accept a penalty cleaning fee), but that was not enough to deter from our fond memories of this stay.

Our original room was in a red cottage. No view and in from the water. They had an upgrade available, a small home with a beautiful view across the water to the town. Very clean, and lots of room!Very happy with the accomodations.

This incredibly, darling, fishing hut situation was quite possibly our favorite place of the entire trip. That is a funny thing to say, since it was the tiniest, but it was so authentic, so clean, and we felt like we were actually fisherman Wayback when. The restaurant that was part of this establishment was especially special and authentic.

The Svinøya Rorbuer was a nice fishing cabin with an amazing restaurant in a building from the 1800s. The staff took good care of us, but the town itself was a bit too industrial and less appealing.

Loved this place! It was the first part of Svolvær to be settled (1828) and comprised a whole village of original fishing rorbuers, a telegraph house, a general store filled with everything you could ever want (in the 1800's!) now the reception, and a very atmospheric dining area with beautiful wooden beams, on two levels, with windows looking out over the boats in the harbour and Svolvær beyond. We stayed in the telegraph house with its two comfortable bedrooms, an excellent kitchen space (with appliances/drawers hidden behind elegant panelling), and comfortable chairs/sofa/table. There was an art gallery, but it wasn't open.

This is a beautiful setting in a fishing village. We stayed in a well-equipped 2 bedroom cabin which was a warm and cosy retreat after winter activities. There’s a very nice restaurant on site. If you don’t have a car be prepared to walk over the bridge to access shops, restaurants and activities.

Our very first experience with traditional fishing cabin style hotel. Simple design and amenities but has enough space for our family of 4. 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, and family room and a good size kitchen with eating area. 7 min driving from the airport which is very nice. Connect to E10 (major route connecting the island chain) via a bridge. Secluded and quiet. Nice view of the bay from our cabin. Hotel has the best restaurant on the island.
