Firealarm ( was in other building but they thit not inform us)
Hostel response:
Dear guest. Lucky there was no fire, but a water leak in the old building "Hulderheimen", and where no persons live at all. We are very sorry that you wasn't informed about that, our staff informed the persons who came out to the courtyard.
Friendliness of Staff: we've seen a few members of the staff. Most of them were friendly, but one was very unfriendly to the guests.
Cleanliness: everything was very clean, except the kitchen was quite dirty. And in the fridge, a lot of food was mouldy.
The breakfast during the last two days was reduced regarding the offer and has had less service.
Hostel response:
We are very sorry that you was not satisfied with the breafast. We really want to do the best for our guests, and will do our very best to make their stay by us pleasant. Therefore: thank you for telling us that we have to work even harder to make our hostel better.
excellente étape dans un environnement très calme
This is typically a dormitory room - bunk beds are normal, and shared bathrooms are typical. For the region, this a probably a great bargain. Breakfasts were very good, with a good selection. It appeared that native Norweigns used this hostel for their overnight stays, which probably speaks to the cost and quality. For the price, I'd expect more, but this is Norway, and Norway is expensive.
We had a very nice stay. The scenery in Lofoten is fabulous!
Breakfast was verý good and the kitchen staff friendly.
We stayed in a private room ensuite in the renovated part of the hotel. Very nice. Good value for money considering the prices in the area.
it was a nice stay
My room was double-booked so I was upgraded "free of charge". After first night (of two), the receptionist asked me if I wanted to switch to regular double room. I said no (switching rooms, obviously, is a pain in the butt and it was already 8PM) and when I checked out, he charged me the higher price for the second night. I refused to pay it, then he withheld the deposit I had made on line AFTER I SPECIFICALLY REMINDED HIM ABOUT IT. When I came back and pointed this out, he claimed that he was charging me for towels that I hadn't asked for and didn't match the deposit amount anyway. It was really weird.
There should be direction signs in town on how to get to the hostel from the town bus stop.
