What guests think

At Thon Hotel Lofoten, travelers praise the standout breakfast, waterfront location with great views, and friendly service, while noting recurring issues with limited or tight parking, occasional nighttime noise from venues, and rooms that can feel warm or small.

Room types vary, with some guests upgraded to roomy suites, while others note older sections or awkward layouts between buildings. The on-site restaurant is well regarded, though a handful described dinner as average. A practical base in Svolvær for travelers who value convenience and scenery.

Flott rom, enda bedre beliggenhet. Ligger midt i sentrum. Garasjeplass i kjelleren,for 200 NOK ekstra. Fantastisk frokost, nesten verd overnattingen alene.

Pros: breakfast was incredible, hotel restaurant was very good, bed was ok Cons: Our room overlooked the courtyard outside, it was extremely loud at night time when people would gather after bar/restaurant closed for the evening. Parking was $20 for an indoor spot at the hotel.

What I liked - black-out curtains, able to cast device onto TV What I don’t like - the terrible parking arrangements, although the hotel has its own underground parking it has limited spaces apparently, and if their spaces run out there are very limited options in its vicinity. The furniture in the rooms are showing signs of wear and tear. The duvets they provided are too hot for end of May weather

It was extremely noisy. The bar next to the hotel (in the same building) had VERY LOUD music EVERY NIGHT during our stay. I complained to the front desk staff and did not get any help. The music did not stop until after the mid night (2am to be exact). The shower are in the hotel room is practically unuseable, although we had a Business Class Room. Bad experiance!

Ankom på kvelden med to små barn, fikk tildelt rom i nærheten av pub/utested. Der var det endel støy, så kontaktet resepsjonen for å sjekke mulighet for å bytte rom. Dette ble ordnet kjapt og med et smil. Vi fikk et roligere rom og sov kjempegodt. Fantastisk service! Frokosten var travel (lørdag morgen), men veldig godt utvalg.

What a fantastic hotel, beyond my expectations. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful from the front desk to restaurant staff. The breakfast is fantastic even with piano being played! Dinner was really nice again with piano. The room was spotless, super clean, with kettle, coffee maker, fridge even a pair of binoculars to look out in the harbour. The view from my room was amazing. Location is perfect for meeting excursions and close to every thing Best hotel I've stayed at in Norway

Situated right on the main square, a spit away from the Hurtigruten ferry terminal, the bus twrminal and the mooring of the tour boats, it couldn't be better placed. Reception friendly and helpful and found me a room even though I was early for check in. Thw room was broght and airy, spacious and clean. In the modern way there were enough pillows for an army! Breakfast was a huge display of tasty items. Free fresh coffee was availble 24/7
