Sandtorgholmen Hotel, BW Signature Collection

Hadde forventninger om litt «herskapelig» opphold med sjarm og valgte rom deretter. Rom og bad var bare slitt og gammelt uten personlighet. Rommene opplevdes som mørke og det hjalp ikke at noen av lampene på soverom og bad ikke virket. Soverommet var kaldt og senga kjennes fuktig. Badet bar virkelig preg av å ha sett bedre dager og var bare utrivelig. Det hjalp ikke akkurat å bli vekket tidlig av søppelbilen heller. Frokosten var enkel og god, men kaffen var ikke mye å skryte av. Restaurant/frokost-lokalet var sjarmerende og koselig. Dette ble ikke akkurat den litt romantiske og trivelige avslutningen vi tenkte oss på vår tur ute på øyene.

Härligt ställe, trevlig personal, fantastiskt läge och utsikt

The hotel is very unique. Old style. We liked it. We got a very spacious and nice room on the main building ground floor. As I saw in the reviews, it is true that there is noise from the upper floor since the floor is old wooden floor. You may hear every single step in the ceiling. We did not find that as a problem though. Our only comment is that our room has no real shower. It has a bath tub with a hose, period. Very uncomfortable to bath. Apart from that, the hotel is out of the ordinary, very nice and close to the airport.

Viehättävä ja yksilöllinen huone. Lattiat hieman natisivat, mutta muuten kaikki toimi hyvin. Ihana, kalastajakylämainen tunnelma. Upeat näkymät huoneesta ja aamupalalta. Aamupalan valikoimat eivät olleet kovin suuret, mutta sitäkin maistuvammat.

Full of charme

Price was steep for a youth hostel experience. This was not what I was expecting. Our “Junior Suite” was basically a large unfurnished room with a bed in it and a dungeon for a bathroom (no windows) with poor modern fittings. I thought curtains had to meet in the middle and block out the light. This would have been useful to block out the midnight sun. Outside door handle snapped off and staff had to do a temporary fix so that we could shut and lock the door. On the positive side the staff were friendly and helpful. The evening buffet meal was fine and so was the breakfast.

Come on Best Western you can do better than this, it is a glorified youth hostel. No negative comments about the staff who were friendly and helpful. They provided quality buffet meal in the evening and a good breakfast in the morning. But really the room was in the main house. The walls are so thin you could everything in the next room. The bath leaked and there was a big pool of water on the bathroom floor. None of the electric sockets worked at all and I mean none. The staff were apologetic and I don’t blame them.

This place is the highlight of my Lofoten trip. The hotel is Classic, preserving its old ambiance but with modern amenities. The sauna is a good addition. I am surprised that at such a remote place, they are able to find young and cheerful workers to take care of customers from all over the world. The staff is super friendly and the guests are very international; they are the best part of the experience.

Original, bien décoré. Tout y est! Le cadre est magnifique. Je recommande.

Beautiful location by the sea. The room was clean and had a charming vintage/rustic design, which we loved. Before our arrival, we were given all the necessary information about our stay, as there was no staff on-site after a certain time during our visit. There was a microwave, a kettle, cutlery, and plates available, so we could easily make tea, coffee, or enjoy a small meal. We could also pre-order tapas if we wanted. Overall it was a very relaxing stay.
