Great location, ample parking and 4 EV chargers so the hotel is a perfect stopover or base camp for exploring the Lofoten islands by car. We opted for a balcony harbour view room and it did not disappoint. We had views of the harbour and the constant stream of ferries, cruise ships, tour boats and private vessels. As always in Norway, the buffet breakfast was excellent and had something for everyone’s taste.
