Astra Whale

A private room by the water in Kabelvåg for the price of a hostel bed, with a kitchen you can use, parking that costs nothing and ski storage for winter. Galleri Espolin is 1.6 km away and Svolvær 6.2 km.

Adults travelling alone or as a couple who want a door that locks and do not mind a shared shower — children are not accepted. Self check-in suits late arrivals; the stairs and the shared bathrooms do not suit anyone who would struggle with either. Skiers and cyclists are catered for, with storage for gear and tours arranged nearby.

Children are not accepted, so this is no use to a family. The room is 8 m² with a shared bathroom: two showers and two toilets serve seven rooms, by the property's own account. There is no bathroom in the room, no cot and no extra bed. Upper floors are reached by stairs only. Check-in is self-service between 15:00 and midnight, check-out from 05:00 to 11:00, and quiet hours run from 22:00 to 08:00. Pets are not accepted and smoking is not allowed. The guest score is 6.6 from five reviews, too few to lean on. Booking.com lists the property as a holiday park, which does not describe what it is.
