We traveled the Lofoten Islands for over 1 week and made a point of sampling the fish soup (fiskesuppe) along the way at every chance we got. And one of the absolute best fish soups was to be found at this restaurant in the Thon Hotel. It was exceptional. We loved it so much much we tried going back a... More

We took the Hurtigruten from Tromso instead of driving to Lofoten as the weather forecast was terrible. We were so glad we did as the Hurtigruten was fun and the snow was DEEP when we arrived in Svolvaer. The Thon is literally just around the corner from the dock so we just drove into the underground car park, and we... More

We arrived late, tired, in the middle of a blizzard and couldn't find the entrance to the hotel as all was blanked with thick snow. Not a great start! However the friendliness and efficiency of the reception staff, the neatness and warmth of the room and the strong hot shower restored us to the human race and got us ready... More

My first time in this hotel, but I will absolutely come back, for sure! Nice and polite personell, top service all over! Breakfast and dinner were both outstanding, with a large number of local Lofoten food. The bed was first class and my view was to the harbor and the Hurtigruta quay. Exotic! More

Stayed on this hotel between 01. dec. - 02. dec. 2011. Nice, clean hotel with good standard. Trendy style and above average serviceminded personell. Unfortunately, the dinner and wine did not take me to the peak :-( but the breakfast did :-)The absolutely best hotel in Lofoten, no doubt! More

Hotel is very fancy with excellent staff, great buffet, and good location. The room is very big but lacks a cupboard for clothes and a coffee machine/water heater. For those who prefer water for water hygiene; like most bathrooms in Norway, only toilet paper is there. There is no bath tube for the shower- only an inclined floor to stop... More

Great hotel right by the sea. The view from the room is by far the best view I've seen from a hotel room. Nice touch to put a pair of binoculars in every room. The hotel breakfast was excellent, probably one of the best hotel breakfasts you can get in the whole of Norway. Clean, comfortable and quiet rooms. Overall... More

Nice and modern rooms with huge windows in the centre of Svolvær. Very good breakfast, they even make your eggs and omelets on request in the breakfast area - meaning its always fresh and made as you want it. More

This new hotel in Svolvær offers clean and comfotable rooms with wonderful views of the ocean and mountains of Lofoten. The restaurant food differs in quality. Breakfast is usually very good. The hotel is affordable and recommended to anyone who wants to stay in more modern surroundings than the traditional rorbuer. More
