Fast Hotel Svolvær

The hotel is clean and comfortable. The price is reasonable. However, there is no front desk so sometimes it can be a hassle if you need assistance.

Great location. Decent price. Very easy to check-in. No baggage storage service.

My visit to Lofoten was solely because of the Northern Lights. As a solo traveler. a central location, inexpensive, safe, clean are the key factors i base on for the hotel search. Fast Hotel’s convenient location, self-check in, are superb. But during my stay, from check-in till the next morning, the entrance door to my room could not be locked at all and i had to go out without locking my room. Till the next morning a young male employee promised to help fixing it. He did. Was and am grateful to him. On the second night, i ended up not searching for northern light but the LIGHT - electricity broke down and internet connection was also down - from before midnight till 01:29. - and the hotel main entrance door, usually remains closed and is to be opened via pin code - now the sensor is not working (it is now 03:45, still not working), making my plan of going out to observe the northern light and coming back to the hotel not possible. Somehow, during the wee hours at the lobby i met someone who works nearby and stays at the same hotel, taught me how to manully open the faulty main entrance glass door (just use hands, with slight force, to manually slide open the glass doors to both sides. It didn’t require much force at all.) While technical hiccups can be rectified, here is my suggestion to the Hotel - please install a light for writing desk. The whole room has only two side table bed lights. No general light for the room at all (there are recessed ceiling lights but switches cannot be found). At the writing desk, a light sauce is a must-have. That said, i still like the hotel a lot because of its location and self-check in, completely without a Reception counter/area - that is wonderful. G reat is also he closeness to the bus terminal (not noisy at all) is pivotal as the buses (running infrequently in Lofoten) are the “lifeline” for those who visit Lofoten without a rented car. As a solo traveller, i will want to come back to this (and/or similar) Fast Hotel. i like it. It is like a trusted friend, sometimes not feeling well, but a friend is a friend.

非常令人生氣的體驗！ 酒店的房門是向外開的，沒有反鎖或鎖鏈保護，是輸入密碼解鎖，只要輸入正確就可以直接開門因為沒有反鎖！ 入住時有看見一個人在房間外鬼鬼祟祟，看著我們開門才離開！兩個人住非常沒有安全感！！！ 不建議入住！！！

一般！衹能作為臨時住一晚上，離碼頭很近 走路1分鐘

其他都很好，就是熱水不太熱導致洗不了澡，希望能改進
