Scandic Vestfjord Lofoten

High price but low standard. TV doesn't work. We paid for things we didn't get We will not stay there again

Very old and dated property. Very basic facilities. No elevator. Not even a kettle in the room. Very average breakfast. Only saving grace is the location. Staff is courteous but most of the time not available at the desk. Would not stay here again.

My worst Scandic Hotel experience. The room smelt bad, dusty, no AC, no warm water in the shower and noicy. Everything that was going on in neigbouring rooms and parking lot outside could be heard. The pictures on scandichotels.com for the room type did not represent the real room. I will never book this hotel again.

A truly enjoyable two night stay from start to finish. Brilliant harbour location, free parking outside the front door and a proper welcome with good service and extensive local information. The room on the top floor was superb and really comfortable with every amenity possible but note there is no elevator. The breakfast room and food choice was expansive both in size and choice (e.g. great waffles) and, all in all, we really felt at home. Would stay again tomorrow.

Great spot nice room and friendly staff. Former factory opposite cod drying racks. Watch out for seagulls if you breakfast outside!!

Still after 10 pm music was played very loud outside. The room was quite large, but there was no amenities such as a kettle. In addition, the floor was a bit dirty. The breakfast was varied and good.

We came to Lofoten for a hiking trip and booked this hotel because of it’s good location and reasonable price level. Negative: Cleaning service. We basically had no cleaning service for two days until I made a complain about it but unfortunately even after the complain nothing happened. After the complain the cleaning service visited in our room but they did not change the bed sheets or clean the floor or bathroom. They only left toilet paper on the table (odd) and tried make bed look a bit ”nicer” (looked bad) we took photos and showed those to receptionist. Cold shower. At some point we started to have issues with the hot water. Bathroom has an odd smell. Might be plumbing issues? Positive: The staff in the reception is really nice and friendly. This is my second time in Lofoten and the next time I would probably not book room from this hotel for the reasons stated above. I still have one full day left before I leave. I wonder if they manage to clean this before we leave lol

All staff we talked to were friendly and professional. The hotel is along side the wharf- near warehouses and large got industry. An odd location when driving in. Easy to walk to central plaza and restaurants. A basic, no frills hotel that is clean and modern. Breakfast was excellent.

We were looking for the most economical option that was also convenient in location while we stayed in Svolvær for eight nights. The convenience of this location is unquestionably perfect. You are within 5-minute walking distance of all the main necessities in town – restaurants, grocery, shopping and outings. Reading all of the reviews ahead of booking it was funny to read all of the comments about the breakfast. After staying there – I get it. You start each day with a plan to spend most of it out and about, doing everything you can fit into one day. That requires a lot of energy so the fact that you can choose your food from a very large spread each morning while also saving the cost of $10-$25 per person to eat breakfast anywhere else cannot be discounted. Their breakfast is truly the best way to start your long days. While going for economical in this expensive area was preferred, the very small size of the room we got was borderline worth a little extra cost to get something bigger. The room was so small, we had to go sideways, one at a time to get between the end of the bed and the wall. We had to move the chair back and forth to access our clothes and there was minimal storage to get clothes out of our bags. The bed was reasonably comfortable and the room was basically clean. The bathroom could use a deep cleaning or some minor updates. The staff was super friendly and helpful. There are a lot of very high marks here for this hotel but our room was not. If you stay here, I would only suggest not getting the basic room – or maybe it’s just the standard rooms on the ground floor with outside access next to the parking lot?
