A suitable length of stay would depend largely on the time of year.
There are many options for mountain walking in summer, less when snow covers the paths and countryside. Day Trips can be made to explore other scenic towns and villages by the local bus, along the island. Very scenic opportunities for photography with the changes in weather. Interesting short walks around Svolvaer and the harbour, boats, colourful buildings and rocky inlets scenery.

Svolvaer has the iconic architecture and "feel" of the Lofoten Islands but is large enough to have some choice in restaurants and easy access to most services. There are many museums and attractions nearby and just driving through the countryside yields spectacular views. Parking in town is limited and expensive, but the central parking lot is free after 7 PM.

Fantastic holiday in Svolvaer.
Fantastic holiday in Svolvaer. A photographers paradise from Fjord excursions to a road trip further a field.
My key highlights were the RIB Sea Eagles tour with Lofoten Explorers and the 5hr road trip with Lofoten Lights tour operators.
I will definitely be returning to see the Northern lights.

My son and I stayed here due to a change in our itinerary. We booked the location because it was close to the airport and it was reasonably priced. On the good side the location was on the water and walking distance to the center of town. The room offered a kitchenette with a table and two beds. One could access the deck overlooking the water. The people working the desk were very helpful, even booking a taxi for us to the airport. The bathroom is shared and the desk is closed at night. You have to walk to town for meals or stop by the nearby Circle K gas station for coffee and/or food if you don’t plan to cook. Rooms were upstairs, and there is no elevator.

Most convenient location for visiting the Lofoten islands.
Most convenient location for visiting the Lofoten islands. The pier for the exceedingly beautiful Trollfjord trip is walking distance from Svinoya.
The enterprising can hike the Djevelporten peak , which has steps for about 50% distance.

Svolvaer is a great pictures town with a bery nice water front.
The restaurants and coffee shops are great and there a lot of activities all around.
We used it as a base camp as we drove all around the amazing Lofoten islands for six days.
I really like how big the room is. I booked for 3 guests, but my room can actually fit for 4 adults and 2 children. The room has its own underroof area and equipped with everything from microwave to kettle, kitchen ware. The location is great. Although it is located in center of Svolvær and there are many restaurants around the hotel, but the hotel is so quiet and private. Breakfast is very good and variety, they serve smoked Salmon and fresh baked waffle as well. My Mom and Dad said this is the best hotel for 15 days trip in Scandinavia.
Very great hotel!! Everything is very clean. The staff was very very friendly and help you with everything you need. They message you via message and whatever you want, they assist you with. The beds were very comfortable. The room amazing view to the lake. The location of the hotel is great, very close by to everything you need. You can book the trip directly with the hotel for a very cheap price. And the breakfast buffet was amazing, so so tasty.
I had the ground floor apartment, which was very clean and cosy and had everything one needs for a comfortable stay, including a washing machine. Conveniently located close to the city centre. The owner replied even in a super early morning hour when I had an issue with the key box checking out (all on me, there was nothing wrong with the box). A great experience, and considering the generally high prices in Svolvær, pretty good value, too!
Great location, the hotel is in the centre of the city and it’s the location of the meeting point for most tours. The breakfast is great with variety of food and with the very good taste. Staffs are very friendly. The room and hotel are very clean. There is a coffee machine in the room. We can also see the northern light at the harbour next to the hotel.
The place is beautiful. It was our first night in Lofoten and it was wonderful. The hotel is a typical building, it is not modern but clean, comfortable and well equipped and in a beautiful location. Our room had a terrace that overlooked the port and you could see the cruise ships arrive and depart. The breakfast is very rich and complete. We love it
Stayed here twice, on the way in and way out of Lofoten islands. Second time was better - room was a little bigger and bathroom bigger, otherwise tight.
Code for the door and room was handy as no need to carry keys. Lots of parking. Kitchen to cook (when the stove was working)
We got moved to Scandic Svolvaer and had an absolute blast. The room was great, the view was absolutely amazing, and breakfast was unexpectedly awesome. We almost canceled our other hotels just to stay here again! Definitely make sure you get up for the breakfast buffet!
We provided our own breakfast. The location is perfectly charming for discovering an authentic Rorbuer. It was easy to walk around and explore or to walk over the bridge for further options of restaurants. The scenery is Lofoten at its most delightful.
The location was excellent and came off the ferry a few minutes walk to the hotel. The breakfast was excellent and the staff also excellent. They arranged a taxi for me to the airport. When flight was changed rearranged taxi. Great service
The location is good, with a nice view of Svolværgeita. There is a lot of space in the cabin. The kitchen is well equipped, and there are hair dryers. Baths have heating in the floor. There are enough parking spaces (we had two cars).
The place had everything I needed for a great stay in Svolvær. The bed, although small, was very comfortable and the room spacious. The bathroom was very clean. As a solo traveler, I felt very safe. I strongly recommend it.
Really nice hotel in a great location in Svolvaer. Staff were very friendly and helpful in every way. Breakfast was by far the best I had during my week long trip to Lofoten. Would definitely recommend staying here.
Almost everything was great. Hotel was clean and offered us all we needed. We found out our kettle doesn't work. I asked the first staff member I met and they kindly gave us a brand new one. The breakfast was OK.
The hotel is located close to the Hurtigruten terminal. The staff were friendly and helpful.
The breakfast area was spacious and the food options excellent.
The room was really comfortable.
The location is spectacular with beautiful views of the mountains. Close to a pub and a cafe and basically the best spot in town. Service is excellent as is the hotel restaurant.
