Unfortunately, the price-performance ratio at Scandic Svolvær just doesn’t add up. We paid €450 for two nights, which is hard to justify considering the overall experience.
The rooms are extremely small, there’s no real way to ventilate them properly, and there’s no parking included – despite the high price. The beds looked like they were made by a teenager in a rush – messy and not up to hotel standards at all.
On the plus side, the internet was stable, the shower worked well, and the staff was generally friendly. However, one breakfast experience stood out in a negative way: I was clearly waiting for hot water, and a staff member saw me standing there but continued to slowly restock cups without acknowledging me at all. Not rude – just indifferent.
Breakfast itself was okay, but nothing special. Sadly, for this price, I expected much more. Comfortable basics, better attention to detail, and at least a proper bed setup. Definitely room for improvement.

Amazing hotel! Clean room, lovely view by the sea. Parking is plenty, good sized gym and amazing breakfast buffet - with so many options! One of the best hotels we stayed in during our Norway trip. I’d definitely recommend.

The small hotel is built right on the pier, with a small balcony directly overlooking the fjord. The rooms are very small, and you can basically go to bed as soon as you walk in. The breakfast is good. The receptionists are very friendly.

Affordable price, good location, need to walk for a while after getting off the boat. The scenery is OK. You can get hot water at the front desk. This is perfect. The breakfast is relatively good. The Wi-Fi in the room is a bit difficult, you can ask for the Wi-Fi password separately.

The hotel breakfast is very rich and served in buffet style.
There are all kinds of appetizer salads, staple bread, meat, drinks, juice and yogurt. It is the most abundant breakfast in Norway.
The room has a great view, facing the sea, and you can see the red house opposite.
ps I saw the aurora at the door of the hotel on the day of check-in, which was a bonus!

We chose the so-called best view room based on the pictures, but found that it was not the room we had ordered. After negotiation with the hotel, the staff insisted that the room was not wrong, saying that the pictures provided by the room agent misled the guests, and that many guests complained about this situation, and the hotel could not solve it.

The room was small, old, not very clean, and the pillows were not comfortable. However, the small balcony in the room had a good view of the lake. The location of the hotel was also pretty good, 8-10 minutes drive from the airport.
