Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I booked a panorama suite, which had a fantastic view! The room was lovely, staff were all so friendly, and I had a great stay. The location is very walkable and close enough to the airport that the drive was easy after the long journey. Hope to be back soon!

Very good hotel group - stayed in several locations and they are all similar. The best of breakfasts, hotel public spaces are spacious and the rooms very comfortable. This hotel was the best thing in the town.

There aren’t many places where you are greeted by a grand piano being played at breakfast, but that was only one of the pleasant surprises. We arrived way too early to check in, but this wasn’t a problem in the slightest for the front desk staff (I’ll single out Alexsander here). In fact, we were able to check in and drop our bags immediately, but on our return to the front desk to compliment them for giving us a fabulous room with a fantastic view of the harbour, we were escorted to the top floor conference room level and had the doors unlocked for us to take pictures from a fantastic vantage point (the best in Svolvær). Although it was polar night (ie. the sun doesn’t rise above the horizon), we had a perfect sunrise/sunset/twilight experience. Extremely memorable. The room was warm, clean and spacious, with comfortable beds and everything needed for a short stay. Lifts to our floor were fast and frequent, and access to the hotel was easy via two separate entrances. Breakfast times were very convenient, and the food choices plentiful and healthy. The grand piano added to the atmosphere (and it was played well). A bonus (since our ferry left early) was to be able to order a breakfast box to take away for pick-up at reception. Overall, a great hotel, with friendly, helpful and accommodating staff.

Like all the Thon hotels we stayed in, the room was small and the bedside tables were tiny. It's in a good location and we had a nice view from our room. A nice touch was the binoculars in the room. Breakfast was very good and staff are friendly.

The rooms are clean and have good view if you book the ones with scenery. Excellent breakfast with variety of food types. We were there during rainy and windy season and was provided much needed hotel umbrellas as some are broken during our trip.

The room does not have a view even though that was shown when booked through hotels.com Room is nice but not worth this much without the view. Will look elsewhere another time. Good coffee machine but no clean cups. Two very dirty cups which look like they have been here for days.

Not the best comfort in a room, tiny bathroom with a small shower cabin where water doesn’t go down the drain. Overcrowded restaurant in the evening and morning. Parking very expencieve around the hotel, thanks to lady on a reseption I was able to find reasonable parking spot about 400 m away. Air conditioner switch was locked and it was not possible to make it blow less cold. For contacting a reception you need to go down, phone in a room was not working.

DON'T COHOOSE THIS HOTEL. Friday night the loud music started. Told there was a wedding on the 10th floor. 1.00 am can hear people yelling, loud footsteps on floor above and furniture being scraped and moved around. The thumping music has not stopped. How .... how can the Thon group offer tourists a hotel with this horrendous music? Don't they know we have to sleep? By far the worst hotel in Europe.

We booked our Norway trip through Nordic Visitor. We arrived Friday 2nd June. It was busy as there was a sporting event happening. Our room was on a lower floor but very nice. However at 9 pm that night the music started. There is a " pub" within the hotel. So loud it was impossible to sleep. At 11pm I went down to reception. A very snooty arrogant young man informed me there was nothing he could do. A more pleasant young woman said they had no spare room but would move us the next day. I was told the music would finish at 1am. It went till 2.35 - and we were still wide awake. Very helpful older gentleman changed us to another room the next day. He said that room should not be booked over the weekends because of the noise. Our next room was not as nice but it was quieter. We were booked on the Hurtigruen on the Monday night leaving at 8.30 pm. I asked for a late check out as the weather was atrocious. Was told it would cost 500 NK. I suggested a discount considering our bad experience. The 2 women on reception the switched to Norwegian to discuss this - both spoke perfect English - so I found that rude. They decided we could stay for nothing till 6pm. So I was happy with that. Breakfast and the restaurant were both excellent . But they were the only positives in a very disappointing stay. I informed Nordic Visitor. Overall a very disappointing stay.
