We were offered to another hotel, since Scandic Vestfjord Lofoten is closed for the summer. Therefore this review is not relevant.
Located on a small island in the very heart of Svolvær Harbor in the Lofoten Archipelago, Anker Brygge offers rooms in traditional Norwegian fisherman’s cottages.

Beautiful view from the restaurant and deck.

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.
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.
Breakfast was very good. The staff are friendly and caring. They were apologizing that the breakfast is not as usual because they had some reconstruction going on. But actually it was the best breakfast I had during this trip (I stayed in 6 different hotels on this trip). I did not even notice any reconstruction. Amazing view both in the dining area, as well as my room - just in front of the harbour. Convenient location if you take ferries to or from Bodo or other locations in Lofoten.
We stayed at the sister hotel Scandic Svolvear as this one was closed for the season.
Our room was delightful, overlooking the water and fishing huts across the water. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was well appointed with everything we needed. The balcony was a lovely spot to sit and enjoy the peace and quiet.
The breakfast here was fabulous, and a great opportunity to try local fish and produce.
Breakfast was the Best we’ve ever had.
Location is in front of pier, great view from our window.
We’ve upgraded to a higher floor and it was worth it. Big room, warm bathroom floor.
Taxi from airport is about $30. There’s a number in wall of arrival area to call for taxi. It’s like a private pickup since there’s no taxis waiting outside the airport(we arrived late evening).
This Thon hotel is a great option in Svolvaer. It's within walking distance to the harbor and city center, and some rooms have excellent water views. Thon hotels usually have good breakfasts, but this one had the BEST hotel breakfast I had in Norway! So many options, and everything was hot and fresh. The beds here were also very comfy.
Location was fantastic! Check in and parking in the garage was a breeze. The place is super modern, has comfortable beds, a great view and lots of amenities. We were so happy with it that we booked another night before we have to leave Lofoten islands. The washer and dryer were a bonus and the lift was so helpful. Loved this place.
Relatively affordable for Norway/Lofoten. Close to the center. Parking is free, and there are spots available if you don't arrive too late. The room has coffee/tea with a water heater and a huge fridge/freezer. Contactless check-in and -out. The breakfast was acceptable.
lovely little studio apartment located by Svolværgeita. It had everything we needed to be comfortable during our stay. Great place to be based for exploring the Lofoten Islands. Friendly and helpful hosts. Would definitely stay again.
great location, clean and comfortable rooms, space to sit and enjoy the view, electric car charging outside, good breakfast… the list could go on. This hotel exceeded our expectations and started our trip to lofoten on a high!
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.
- Friendly and flexible staff
- Cozy cabins, with traditional vibe but all facilities
- Good location within Svolvær
- Restaurant (Kjøkkenet) was best we had on our trip
- Free parking
- Free sauna
We really enjoyed the stay. The location is good. Breakfast is good. The hotel is just walkable distance from city center.
Many restaurants are available near to this hotel.
Very friendly and helpful host. He picked us up at the jetty where we arrived on the hurtigbåt from Bodø and dropped us off at the hotel where we moved on to in Svolvær.
