Best Vagan Hotels

"I extended my stay by one night. **Room:** For the first night, I was in a duplex room where the upstairs and downstairs shared a living room and kitchen. On the second night, I moved to a one-bedroom suite complete with a living room and kitchen. **Cleanliness:** Good. **Breakfast:** Plentiful. **Facilities:** The room for my first night was on the ground floor, which was convenient. However, my room for the second night was on the third floor with no elevator, making it quite a struggle with large luggage. The upside was a balcony with a fantastic view!"

"Fantastic! It's clean, well-equipped, and the decor is so cozy. The kitchen is great, and the bathroom is huge. There's even a fireplace! It's about a 30-minute drive from Svolvaer and has free parking right outside. Highly recommend!"

"The room was clean but small, and the amenities were a bit dated and not particularly sophisticated. There was a refrigerator and kettle, and a shared kitchen. However, the room was warm, and free parking was convenient. Breakfast was simple but included the basics. The bathroom design was ingenious; the toilet was in a separate shower area, and the plumbing was visible. The elevator was also unusual—it was a moving platform. Because check-in was self-service, I didn't receive an email beforehand. Luckily, with the help of Ctrip customer service and someone on-site (probably an employee of a neighboring company), I was able to call the hotel staff and get my check-in password and room number directly. Overall, it's okay for a one-night transit stay. If you want a more comfortable and relaxing experience, there are probably better options available."

"It was our first visit in Norway. We checked few thing to try in Norway, one of them is stay in Rorbuer which we booked this Nyvågar Rorbuhotell. We liked a lot this Rorbuer which is great location especially I booked a sea view rorbuer. The breakfast was nice with quality food provided."

"The hotel does not have a lift, which may be inconvenient for guests travelling with heavy luggage or those who prefer easier accessibility. It is something worth noting, especially if your room is located on the upper floors. The breakfast selection was also quite limited, with only a small variety of options available. While it was sufficient for a quick meal, it may not meet the expectations of guests looking for a more extensive breakfast spread. In terms of location, the hotel is more suitable for travellers who are self-driving, as it is easier to access by car. Those relying on public transport may find it less convenient. Overall, the stay was manageable, but there are a few aspects that could be improved to enhance guest comfort and convenience."

"Service: The front desk service was terrible! On the first day of check-in, I booked a taxi for an early morning flight on the third day with the front desk. However, when I went down on the third morning, there was a different person at the front desk who said they couldn't find any record of my booking. In the end, to catch my flight, I had to drag my luggage several kilometers through heavy snow to catch a bus."

"Lofoten isn't that big. It's a 20-minute shared taxi ride from the airport. The hotel is located by the harbor, with a souvenir shop and a popular restaurant right across the street. The supermarket is a 10-minute walk away. The breakfast spread was quite good."

"Absolutely loved this hotel! The surroundings are incredibly photogenic, and the aurora often appears right on the mountain top across from the hotel. I even asked the front desk for aurora viewing recommendations, and they suggested a small church hill and by the pier. But honestly, you can just watch it from right outside the hotel. Otherwise, you'd have to head towards the city outskirts, and the two places they recommended weren't great, especially the small church – it was too cluttered with trees and rooftops. Plus, the hotel's lobby offers free 24-hour hot water, tea, and coffee, which is a huge bonus! I'm not sure if my room got an upgrade, but it felt much larger than I expected. The hotel has two floors, and the only downside is no elevator. So, it's best to pack your luggage strategically. If you're on the second floor, just take a few essentials up, and you can store your suitcase at the front desk. Of course, when checking in, if you're on the second floor, a staff member will help you with your bags, but you'll have to carry them down yourself when checking out. The hotel is about 600 meters from the pier and several large supermarkets, making shopping and getting around convenient. The parking lot is also spacious. All in all, fantastic value for money! (The aurora was visible above the red house in the third photo)."

"The room was a decent size and clean, but the bathroom shower room was too small. The surrounding area was relatively quiet, about a 10-minute walk from Svolwell, and there was a bonfire at night."
