One face towel provided in room. Hotel rooms reminiscent if ND man-camp. Fit for purpose. Pay for parking! "Hotel does not own ground around building"!! Neat concept when you can get away with it.

The hotel was well located. It had some amenities eg bathrobes. But no tea & coffee making or shower caps. However, plenty of beverages available from the dining room free of charge so that made up for it. The room had a little balcony which was nice to sit on in the sunny weather.

Overall, this is a nice property. We were on the second floor with a balcony, which was small, and there is not an elevator (FYI). The breakfast was okay, but there were a lot of options. We really just needed a home base and it worked well for that.

I had a great two night stay here. The staff was so incredibly nice and the room was awesome. I’d definitely suggest going for a room with a private balcony as it was so lovely to just sit outside and read by the water at the end of the day.

We had a room with a balcony overlooking the water, which was very nice. There were also good blackout curtains, which helps sleeping with the midnight sun.

Our flight was delayed so we did not check in until midnight. We were met by very courteous receptionist and our very late night check in went smoothly. The room was rather small but clean. The black out curtains worked excellently as we were there in June with 24 hour daylight. The included breakfast was excellent.

A great location. I had a room with terrace facing the harbor. Very centrally located. Spotlessly clean. Heated bathroom floor was a real plus. Excellent breakfast buffet. Wonderful, friendly and helpful staff. My neighboring room housed a cigarette smoker. My room was smokey when he was often on his terrace smoking. I reported it to management twice, but he continued to smoke the entire week I was there.

It was absolutely great. I never seen such gorgeous views from outside my room and the breakfast was increasingly with more unbelievable views. Walking distance to everything in the city. Friendly service. The price was also very reasonable. This is our favourite hotel for Lofoten

Stupendous Scandic!
All staff were very warm and accommodating. The rooms are simple, but very clean and comfortable, which was perfect as I spent most of my time outside. Breakfast is fantastic and lobby/ lounge is spacious and many separate areas to work, meet friends…whatever. Loved every moment of my stay!
