I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On the plus side, it was located in a very quiet neighborhood close to the downtown area, making it convenient to explore local restaurants. However, the rooms didn't live up to the images I saw online and lacked a proper view. The service also left something to be desired as there were some odd behaviors from the staff. Overall, it was okay, but certainly not ideal.

Rooms

The hotel is set in a peaceful neighborhood, which I liked, and it's conveniently close to the downtown area with several restaurants. The room was decent, providing everything necessary, but it wasn't particularly fancy. The service left much to be desired as I saw a lot of guests struggling during check-in due to a lack of staff. Overall, it offered good value for money, particularly given the location.

The staff was helpful and friendly, although it seemed like they could be stretched thin at times.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On the bright side, the location is very convenient, just a short walk from the ferry dock and close to the downtown area. The room had a small kitchenette that was a nice surprise, but overall, the rooms were far more basic than what I expected from the pictures. The service was friendly and helpful despite the lack of staff, which made the stay a bit smoother. However, the dining could definitely use improvement, as the breakfast was just a bag of basic items left at the door.

However, the room I stayed in did not meet my expectations based on the pictures online—definitely on the lower side compared to what was advertised.

The hotel had a clean and spacious room that was perfect for our one-night stay, but I have to say, the service left a lot to be desired as there were not enough staff available. The location was great, being close to Svolvaer Sentrum; however, it felt like a construction site. The dining experience was okay, with a bag of food left outside our room, but it could be more organized. Overall, it had its ups and downs, and I would rate it as decent value for money with some room for improvement.
