Scandic Svolvær

This hotel is OK for a short stay on the way to or from a drive in Lofoten. Breakfast is OK but the dinner buffet is so-so.

Room was so very tiny. Bed OK. Shower just a stall but hot water good. Breakfast is typical Norwegian buffet style but not as extensive as in cities - understandable due to remoteness. Supper is another buffet but not too exciting.

Beautiful view! Lovely to have a private balcony with chairs to sit and enjoy the midnight sun.

Absolutely perfect!

Beautiful location and walkable area to explore. Welcoming feeling every time you walk back in and little decks off rooms are fun. Rooms are small but beds are incredibly comfortable and the breakfast is amazing!

Room was very small. Internet service poor

The hotel was great, had a nice view! but the chef was amazing! He did vegan options for dinner and served the best hummus I've ever had! Can recommend for shorter stays, rooms are a bit small but alright.

We have a Scandic card and generally are very happy with our Scandic stays. However, the Scandic Solvær was not up to standard. We booked almost two months in advance, but when we arrived they said there was a key problem and so we waited. Then they admitted they had no room for us. We believe they have been overbooking to take advantage of COVID-19 cancellations, especially ones that appear overseas (we live in Norway, but book through our home country expedia). We complained and they suddenly found a room. However, the tv didn't work and there was a musty-sewage smell. We contacted the front desk and they said they would deal with it; they did not. We asked the next day; neither were fixed over two days. We also called in advance about our reservation and never once had the phone answered. Finally, they do not have enough parking, but provide no information about this. This was the most expensive Scandic we have stayed in Norway. We have never complained before, but we ended our stay early, switching locations. The Scandic Solvær is not worth the money, appears poorly managed, and was sub-par by Scandic and Norwegian standards. One bright spot was the hard-working cleaners.

Very good service. Tina at the reception was most helpful and managed to accommodate our preference for a quiet room.

The two women at the reception were extremely kind and managed to accomodate all our requests. The property is amazing, the view from our sunny balcony was priceless. Breakfast room has a fantastic view.
