“Beautiful rorbuer-like accommodation”

I stayed 3 nights in a 2 level rorbuer-like unit with 2 bedrooms. I only stayed at the lower level apartment unit since I was solo. The unit was very clean, with a living room, kitchen, dining table and a separate bedroom with ensuite bathroom. The kitchen had utensils for cooking. The unit was very airy and bright with many windows and a door to the deck besides the front door. The unit was surrounded by wooden deck with picnic tables outside. The view was most fascinating. I had the view while I ate inside. I had the view sitting on the sofa. I was surrounded by beautiful views. Although the unit was not a real traditional rorbuer, it felt like a rorbuer. The unit was quiet although it was in between 2 other units. Wifi was strong for streaming movies. There were many outlets for charging. The location was very close to town which had restaurants, supermarket to get food for cooking, stores, pier to board fjord tours. The location could not be better. Breakfast was super with a lot of selections. All email inquiries before my arrival was very promptly replied. There was no message that was not answered. The service was excellent prior to arrival and during the stay.

“Don’t Stay Above the Pub”

We loved the quaint room and the authentic feel of the Anker Brugge. We were there for 3 nights and the first one was not acceptable. Do not stay above the pub on a Saturday night. The loud DJ electronic music started at 10 and went until 3am. We could not sleep. When we checked in the “warned us” … more

We loved the quaint room and the authentic feel of the Anker Brugge. We were there for 3 nights and the first one was not acceptable. Do not stay above the pub on a Saturday night. The loud DJ electronic music started at 10 and went until 3am. We could not sleep. When we checked in the “warned us” and gave us earplugs. I don’t think it is fair to rent room 212 above the pub when a DJ will be there. While the staff was apologetic they basically said, we warned you. The night with the DJ impacted our next day and activities as we were very tired.

“Not great.”

The cabin was clean and spacious and historically very interesting. Very small and basic shower. However check in/ reception closes at 4 pm. That is not acceptable. Dinner was good in the restaurant but breakfast was very poor in the reception building. No fruit juice, cold egg and bacon, dirty room, dirty table cloths to name a few issues. Parking was free, but frankly our experience elsewhere in Svolvaer was much better for the same price. The USP is the history, but personally that did not outweigh the negatives.
