My wife and I stayed at Solsiden Brygge for 4 nights in May, 2024 as a home-base for exploring the Lofoten Islands. The location was centrally located, never had to drive further than an hour within the area. We stayed in the Standard 1-Bedroom Apartment (H15) and the room was the perfect size for 2 people. The oven and stove were broken so we told the front desk and they provided a temporary fix that night, and then fully fixed it the next day for us. The breakfast buffet was available from 8am - 10am each day and there was a wide variety of food choices. The hotel was really quiet and peaceful and we really enjoyed our stay.

The hostel offers some conveniences but overall, I would rate it 3/5. Its location is a major advantage, with a shopping center and supermarket just a 5-minute walk away, making it easy to access essentials. However, the experience was marred by several issues. The hostel was difficult to find due to the lack of clear signage, which was frustrating upon arrival. Additionally, the noise insulation was very poor—I could hear footsteps and movement from upstairs throughout the night, which severely impacted my sleep and caused insomnia. While the hostel has potential, these issues need to be addressed to improve the overall experience. It’s a suitable choice for budget travelers prioritizing convenience, but light sleepers may want to consider other options.

The Lofoten Cottages are located in one of the most beautiful and peaceful (not touristy) parts of the Lofoten Islands and the the islands themselves are really really beautiful, so this is saying something. The cottages are basic but provide everything needed, the food and service was good and Nusfjord is is ideally located in the middle of the islands which makes it a good base for exploring.

We are from North Carolina, USA, and this was our first time above the Arctic Circle. We did a lot of research and kept coming back to Nusfjord Arctic Resort. And now we know why. Everything at this place was as described in our research, only better!! We stayed in a Harbour Cabin Suite (#36). The cabin was spotless, very comfortable and cozy, charmingly appointed and nicely stocked with coffee and mini bar. We stayed six days and, while it was cold and rainy, it was always toasty warm inside. We learned so much about what life was like for the fishermen during the fishing days in the late 1800’s. To be sure, we were far more comfortable and pampered in these cabins than they were! But you could feel the history in the air. The spa, hot tub and sauna were a wonderful treat, especially in the cold weather. Breakfast and dinner were delicious! My favorite was the Lofotlam (lamb)!!! And we had the best hot chocolate with cream at the Kafe each afternoon. All the staff were very generous, thoughtful and cheerful with help, information and general conversation. Staying here was truly a unique, authentic and very special experience!
