Welcome to Å Vandrerhjem and our small fishing hamlet with 150 inhabitants. Our hostel has its origin from 100 years old rorbu cabins. There are 10 cabins in total and they have been carefully restored with high standard “rorbu” style and charming atmosphere overlooking the sea.
Å Hostel is located in two buildings with a central location in the small fishing village of Å. The hostel is part of a larger fisherman cabins establishment.
Hennumgården is a typical house from Nordland from the 1860s. The atmosphere is friendly and international and many guests find new friends as they share meals and other activities at Hennumgården. The house is located in a museum area with old buildings and a small grocery store.
Hennumgården has 8 rooms, all with washbasins. Showers and toilets are located in the corridor. The large guest kitchen is to be found on the ground floor at the house , which has a dining table, a nice TV and terrace. The garden, "Hennum Garden" is also worth a visit, which is part of a project called "Ancient gardens in Lofoten".
The other building of Å Hostel is the top floor of Lofoten Stockfish museum. These rooms face the sea and they have a nice ocean view. All rooms have a sitting area and a dining table. The guest kitchen, showers and toilets are located in the corridor.

| The view of this hostel is wonderful. Waking up with the sound of seagulls and the beautiful light over the Rorbuer cabins. Stockfish everywhere!!! It's a pitty that there was no restaurant open in wintertime and shops are not very closeby so always bring your own food! Busconnection to Svolvaer was very good. Friendly staff, they came and pick me up from the car ferry as I arrived after 18. | ||

| We booked 2 rooms 2 nights, one room (no. 4) has bug. My friend is bites whole body on 2nd night.We don't know why not occur on day 1.
The host already provide cleaned bedsheet and thus we suspect the bug come from the mattress. | ||

| Great Great Place - the owners of the hostel are incredibly friendly and even picked me up at the ferry terminal. They know a lot about the area and can give you wonderful ideas for activities and great places to hike. The beds are comfortable, the bathrooms are clean and the kitchen is fantastic. I would highly recommend this hostel. | ||
