Apartment in Henningsvær

Unit 1L at Banhammaren sits at the edge of Henningsvær with the sea in front of its terrace. Booking.com gives it three stars and 57 m², across two bedrooms and two bathrooms.

One bedroom holds two single beds and the other a large double, each taking two, so four people can stay. The kitchen has a dishwasher, an oven, a hob, a kettle, a coffee machine and kitchenware; a washing machine, a flat-screen TV, plus a sofa, a dining area, linen and towels come with it, and the apartment has a private entrance in a semi-detached building.

The property has confirmed to a guest that the bedrooms have blackout blinds — worth knowing in a place where the sun does not set for weeks in summer. Check-in is between 16:00 and 21:00 with notice, check-out by 11:00, and a NOK 3,000 card deposit is taken on arrival and released within seven days. Quiet hours run from 23:00 to 07:00.

Why stay here

Two bathrooms for four people, blackout blinds for the light summer nights, a terrace facing the water and a parking space, all inside Henningsvær.

Who it’s for

Two couples, or a family of four who want a bed each rather than a sofa bed. The blackout blinds make it a better bet than most for anyone who sleeps badly under the midnight sun. No cot or extra bed can be added, so a baby or a fifth guest cannot be added.

Highlights

  • 57 m² apartment with two bedrooms and two bathrooms
  • Two single beds in one room, a large double in the other; four in all
  • Blackout blinds in the bedrooms, confirmed by the property
  • Terrace with a sea view and a private entrance
  • Kitchen with dishwasher and oven, plus a washing machine
  • Free parking and free WiFi in Henningsvær

Things to consider

A refundable NOK 3,000 deposit is taken by credit card on arrival and returned within seven days of check-out once the apartment is inspected. Check-in runs only from 16:00 to 21:00 and the property wants your arrival time beforehand. Quiet hours are kept from 23:00 to 07:00. No cot or extra bed can be added, so four is the ceiling, and children of 18 and over are charged as adults. Pets are not accepted.
