Without a doubt the worst hotel experience in my life. When we booked this hotel, we were attracted by the fact it is ranked as a five star luxury hotel in the capital of Lofoten Islands, and the price indeed reflect the stars, as it is very expensive. When arrived, we discover the real, sad, trhuth. No one was at... More

We were two couples that stayed in one of their "suite cabins". The 4 person-cabins are nice, with separate bathroom for each bedroom. Our cabin (no 35) had an almost perfect location , but there are other cabins that have less favorabloe positions. The rooms are nice and well maintained , but are quite dark and have colors from the... More

stayed here for 2 nights in early March 2011 right in the middle of the storms. Bit of a hairy drive down from Troms given the weather, a Norwegian 'motorway' is not quite the same as UK, more like an A road with B roads in parts.

On the other hand we got a large suite with two bedrooms each with a double bed, a large bathroom and a combined living room and kitchen seating 4 and 6 persons respectively. It is really a pleasant place to stay, but the breakfast was too basic and the... More

There is more room upstairs, but since we had only booked a double room, the stairway was locked. Room price includes a very basic (by Nordic standards) breakfast. Bread, cereals some charcuterie. About a... More

Stayed at the Anker Brygge in June 2006. 2BR cabin, right on the water, attractive, clean, comfortable, good bath, good breakfast, one block walk and you are in the main part of town. Shares the same island as the Rica, but not as pricey and, at least from the outside, nicer. I've traveled the world for 40+ years and the... More
