Tu alojamiento en Vågan

Un buen lugar para permanecer. Mucho espacio. Grande agua caliente y presión de agua. Todos los camas son solteros. El desayuno era muy bueno con fiesta local. Teníamos cenado 1 noche y era muy bueno. Se encuentra en una pequeña ciudad que es grande para recoger suministros. Tienen secadoras de botas.

Abbiamo soggiornato una notte in uno dei Rorbu affacciati sul mare e tutto è’ stato perfetto. Check-in alle 15 in un pomeriggio invernale sotto la neve. Cottage comodo e pulito, con un soggiorno a completo affaccio sul mare sul porticato privato. La vista da sola vale il soggiorno. Cucina attrezzata. 2 camere comode. Solo il bagno ci ha un po’ deluso ma il resto lo fa ampiamente dimenticare. Il posto e’ incantevole, uno dei più belli delle Lofoten. Abbiamo usato anche la SPA (a pagamento). Piccolina ma ad uso privato per 1.30h con sauna e hot tube con viste pazzesche. Un posto dove piacerebbe tornare.

Prior to the pandemic we booked a waterfront Rorbu at Anker Brygge - our dream vacation to stay in a waterfront fishing cabin in Lofoten. Covid happened and plans got deferred. To their credit Anker Brygge extended our reservation twice (for 2 years) as we had paid for it in advance. We reconfirmed in writing on several occasions our arrival, and reconfirmed that what we had booked had not changed. However, upon arrival they confirmed our reservation, but announced they had decided to give our Rorbu to someone else, and then stuck us in one of the antiquated apartments above the bar. Just great in the land of the midnight sun when closing time for a bar is an uncertainty. What is particularly irksome is that we had reconfirmed the details of our reservation in writing, arrived first to the facility on day of checkin, spoke to the manager about the importance of Rorbu accommodation to our vacation plans - only to see guests arriving after us, and the next day, get assigned Rorbu and we were stuck in this crummy apartment. If they had been upfront with us to begin with, and told us they had no intention of ”really” honouring our reservation, we could have made a booking at one of the hundreds of other really wonderful Rorbu on Lofoton. Crummy, vacation wrecking, experience.

My visit to Lofoten was solely because of the Northern Lights. As a solo traveler. a central location, inexpensive, safe, clean are the key factors i base on for the hotel search. Fast Hotel’s convenient location, self-check in, are superb. But during my stay, from check-in till the next morning, the entrance door to my room could not be locked at all and i had to go out without locking my room. Till the next morning a young male employee promised to help fixing it. He did. Was and am grateful to him. On the second night, i ended up not searching for northern light but the LIGHT - electricity broke down and internet connection was also down - from before midnight till 01:29. - and the hotel main entrance door, usually remains closed and is to be opened via pin code - now the sensor is not working (it is now 03:45, still not working), making my plan of going out to observe the northern light and coming back to the hotel not possible. Somehow, during the wee hours at the lobby i met someone who works nearby and stays at the same hotel, taught me how to manully open the faulty main entrance glass door (just use hands, with slight force, to manually slide open the glass doors to both sides. It didn’t require much force at all.) While technical hiccups can be rectified, here is my suggestion to the Hotel - please install a light for writing desk. The whole room has only two side table bed lights. No general light for the room at all (there are recessed ceiling lights but switches cannot be found). At the writing desk, a light sauce is a must-have. That said, i still like the hotel a lot because of its location and self-check in, completely without a Reception counter/area - that is wonderful. G reat is also he closeness to the bus terminal (not noisy at all) is pivotal as the buses (running infrequently in Lofoten) are the “lifeline” for those who visit Lofoten without a rented car. As a solo traveller, i will want to come back to this (and/or similar) Fast Hotel. i like it. It is like a trusted friend, sometimes not feeling well, but a friend is a friend.

The breakfast is very nice hahahaha. Wound stay there again if I go lofoten next time!

Large hotel in a nice area.My room was not in the main building itself, but in an annex behind the hotel. My room was nice with a good view, but it wasn't very clean. The bathroom was extremely small. There was no soap available to wash my hands. When I asked reception if I could have some hand soap the thought it was a weird question and they didn't understand why I felt the need to wash my hands with soap. Six hours after I had asked if I could have some soap they still hadn't refilled the soap dispenser in the bathroom. When I went to reception a second time I got the same reaction. Staff at reception is very unfriendly and not willing to help at all. Wifi is good at the hotel. Hairdryer, water kettle and safe available in the room. The bed was very good. Breakfast buffet was excellent, but the three course dinner was tasteless. Be careful with the lock on the door. Hotel staff claims the door automatically locks once you're inside the room and closed the door, but this is not the case. If you're not careful the door stays unlocked, which doesn't feel very safe.

Aunque el servicio de la cabina de 24 horas está escrito en el viaje, en realidad es un mensaje de entrada sin recibir. Oigo a otros invitados que le enviarán información como el número de habitación y la contraseña de puertas de entrada antes, pero no he recibido. Luego, le pregunto al servicio de clientes por favor contacte con su agente para obtener el número de habitación y la contraseña, Espero que el hotel pueda proporcionar correo electrónico y más conveniente para los turistas contactar! Otro desayuno y cocina no son buenos. No hay recepción, y sólo dejar el número de teléfono para contactar no es conveniente para el turista extranjero como nosotros.

Die Lage ist besser kaum vorstellbar. Das Appartement ist modern und komfortabel mit einem grandiosen Blick und kurzen Wegen zu Restaurants, Aktivitäten und Supermarkt. Die Küche ist spartanisch eingerichtet, aber die Nespressomaschine hat‘s rausgerissen. Unser Apartment war allerdings wirklich unglaublich heiß und auch an keinem Schalter regulierbar. Die Fußbodenheizung im Bad lief auf Hochtouren. Da dieses Problem auch in den Nachbarappartments so war (der Nachbar hat die Tür zum Treppenhaus aufgehalten, um Durchzug zu haben), scheint es ein grundlegendes zu sein.
