Places to stay in Svolvær

We absolutely loved our stay at Angelita’s Rorbu! It is spectacular. The views are breathtaking at all times of day - it’s such a peaceful and tranquil place to wind down while exploring Lofoten. The apartment is gorgeous inside and Angelita provided every possible amenity to make it feel like home. We loved cooking in the kitchen with local seafood (and Angelita’s incredible seaweed products - her shop is a must-visit)! We really appreciated the tranquil location away from the crowds but only 5 minutes or so from town for grocery shopping, etc. We loved the location of the rorbu in Lofoten. We explored towns, hiked, wandered and followed many of Angelita’s recommendations - and then loved winding down in the evenings at this magical spot! Angelita was responsive, helpful and so kind. We would love to return and stay here in the future!!

The place was nice, modern and equipped with everything you need. The communication with Henning was great and very accommodating! We were informed and educated about everything. The accommodation is still in the construction area with some construction sites, but that was perfectly fine. The midnight sun shone directly on our hot tub:) 15 minutes from Henningsvær and the nearest shopping.

We loved it here! The views were spectacular, the house was modern, super clean, efficient and spacious. We enjoyed the sauna and appreciated having the washer/dryer. Everything was exactly like the pictures. Would absolutely recommend staying here!

Brand new accommodation, conveniently close to the center and clean. Hosts available and quick to answer any questions

Fantastic stay with stunning surroundings – highly recommended! This is a great place to stay if you’re visiting Lofoten and want to be in the heart of it all. The location is beautiful, peaceful, and central. Everything was pristine and in perfect condition—no issues at all. My only suggestion would be regarding the curtains: currently there are three separate panels with four gaps that let in light. During the midnight sun, this allows sunlight to enter the room at night. Adding Velcro to secure them or switching to one or two blackout panels would help. I personally prefer a pitch-dark room for sleeping. Aside from that, everything was excellent—wonderful host, beautiful accommodation, and an overall fantastic experience. I’ll definitely return.

We spent two weeks in Norway and the four nights in this beautiful home and area were the highlight of our trip. It is such a special place and this cosy home is very well equipped. Karin and Arild were delightful and responsive hosts. It was no problem to be greeted and shown around the property, even with our late arrival. The location is stunning and if you appreciate nature, views and hiking, you will be very happy here. The house itself has incredible views and the shared spaces and deck are very well set up to make the most of the location. We hiked up the mountain just down the road, explored the foreshore and used this as a great base to explore the greater area. The house was very well equipped. We even made waffles with the waffle-maker provided! Instructions and interactions with the hosts were clear and easy. I hope we can return one day. I will remember our time forever.

Very stylishly furnished apartment with views of the harbor entrance and the arrival of the Hurtigruten ships. Public sauna right next door, best restaurant in northern Norway about 20 minutes' walk.

What a find!! Mona’s place was everything we could have dreamed of for a stay in Svolvær! The apartment was cosy, comfortable and provided all the goods needed for a relaxing stay including balcony chairs, a washing machine and a very handy microwave! The location is absolutely perfect! Within easy walking distance to the pier and wharf for tours and all the shops and restaurants in town. The surrounding scenery is breathtaking and helps set the relaxing vibe of the place! Mona was incredibly helpful, approachable and informative- even ordering us a taxi to the airport for which we were very grateful! Finding the place and getting inside was so simple and the included car spot came in very handy as hiring a car is the best way to explore the Lofoten islands! I can’t recommend Mona’s place highly enough and thank her sincerely for such a memorable and enjoyable stay! ☺️💖
