Accommodation in Lofoten Islands
- hotels and rorbuer
Overview
There are many options for accommodation throughout Lofoten Islands. Some of the best hotels in the country can be found in Lofoten, and you can find both affordable rooms and very high-end quality rooms with five-star service.
If you are staying in Svolvær, we recommend the brand new Thon Hotel Svolvær. Here you get a fantastic view of the harbor and delicious food for breakfast, lunch and dinner from the Brasseriet Restaurant.
Henningsvær has several good accommodation options. If you want to experience the sea up close, we recommend Henningsvær Bryggehotell, located at the end of the pier with a view over the harbor. Lofoten Arctic Hotel has two hotels in Henningsvær, Skata and Knusarn, both of which are great places to stay. If you want to stay in an apartment, Tobiasbrygga is a good option. Here you have access to a sauna and hot tub, and right down stairs you'll find Tobiasbrygga Bar&Cafè.
In Lofoten, you'll also find a wide range of fishermen´s cabins in different sizes, decorations and levels of comfort. They are called "rorbuer" in Norwegian and have a long history as seasonal homes for the fishermen during the Lofoten fishing season. Conditions in the fishermen´s cabins were quite humble in the beginning of the last century, but today many of them have both hotel and suite standards.
If you're going to Reine, you should try staying at Reine Rorbuer. They combine traditional fishing style with modern comfort. All the rorbuer (fisherman´s cabins) have kitchen facilities, private bathrooms and wifi. The cabins are located right down in the sea and have a fantastic view.
