Amazing cosy, warm and comfortable cabin with fantastic views. Couldn’t have asked for more!! Great breakfast in the morning and I loved the waffles! Great staff, every one I met had a smile and very very helpful. Thanks to the reception staff in particular who reassured me when I was a day late arriving due to bad weather and helped the day I was leaving by extending my departure time. Great from start to finish. Loved my stay here

Property overbooked the night of our stay. We booked a two story suite with three beds on the water but we were given keys to a small one story apt with one bed overlooking the parking lot. Not even remotely close to what we paid for. The room was also located very close to the bar which was open till 2 AM and had karaoke (extremely loud). We questioned the room and they acknowledged we were in the wrong room but couldn't be moved. They offered a bottle of wine to make up for it which we declined. Asked for a partial refund instead and they said we would have to request it from Expedia. The hotel ignored Expedias calls until after we checked out. Then after we were gone they finally answered and told Expedia they would not approve the partial refund. Horrible experience. We are now going through our credit cards dispute process.

Convenient and with loads of local character

Anker Brygge is perfectly situated in the middle of town, with lots of outdoor tables for enjoying the harbor views. The cabins have been tastefully preserved with antique fixtures while also having all the modern amenities. I was particularly thankful for the reception staff who helped us quickly secure transport to the airport when other options were not available. Breakfast buffet was plentiful and delicious!

There is easy, free on-site parking. It is located at the heart of Svolvaer. We booked the Rorbu Suite, the entire suite is spacious. The windows of the bedroom had black-out curtains. Staff have been accomodating. However, we are sorry to say that we did not enjoy much of our stay here. The suite we booked was located on the top floor above the pub with no lift, and we each had a 20 kg luggage. The shower has been nice, but the boiler required some time to re-heat and we would not recommend the second person who would like to shower to do it immediately after the first. The suite itself was tidy but not very clean; I could see visible yellowish stains on the mattress of the bunk beds. The most troubling issue of all was the odour; the whole suite somehow carried a very strong smell, much alike the smell you would find on an old ship. I am not sure if it was from the direct sunlight exposure to the roof from the previous sunny day, or from the actual ship decor inside, but the smell was there and it was overpowering. We tried opening all the balcony doors to ventilate and it helped little. We tried switching to another room on the same floor and the smell was the same, only lessened to a slight degree; the smell did affect my sleep.

Our stay at the Anker Brygge was wonderful, it was our favorite place while we were in Norway. The view from our rooms were all fantastic, the picnic table outside a wonderful place to enjoy a warm evening. The breakfast in the morning was great too. The only thing that could be better is the support from the staff. I needed some help due to an emergency but the lady at the front desk didn’t seem very happy that she had to help me wiith a simple phone call. In the middle of the night, the fire alarms started blaring in all the buildings. Everyone came outside but there was no staff to tell us what was going on. After 10 minutes or so, the alarm stopped and we all went back to sleep hoping it was just a false alarm. It would have been nice to be reassured all is okay.
