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.

Svolvaer's best hotel with best view.

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.

Great 1 night stay. The rooms are very efficient :) but the stay overall was great. And the breakfast, my goodness, absolutely amazing. Book the place just for the breakfast and the view in the lobby dining area. Would definitely stay again without question.
