Hotel in Henningsvær

Skata Hotel has a Sauøya address in Henningsvær, in Vågan municipality, about 1.1 km in a straight line from the point this guide uses for the village — far enough to be off the busiest quays. Booking.com gives it four stars and a guest score of 7.8 from 498 reviews.

Five grades run from a 13 m² economy double up to a 35 m² family room with two beds, with 15 m² doubles in between, one of them with a sea view and one sold specifically as having a private bathroom. Every room has its own bathroom with a shower, a tea and coffee maker, a private entrance, linen and towels.

On site there is a bar, a snack bar, a coffee house, a garden and a terrace, with breakfast served as a buffet or continental. Parking is free and at the hotel. One point to settle before booking: the hotel has answered a question on Booking.com saying it shut for a large renovation and reopened in March, but the answer carries no year.

Why stay here

A four-star room with its own shower and a kettle, a little outside the crush of Henningsvær, with free parking at the door and a bar, garden and terrace to come back to.

Who it’s for

  • Families

Drivers who would rather park free than hunt for a space in the village, and families who can use the 35 m² family room. Less suited to anyone arriving late without warning, given the narrow check-in window, or to groups, which the hotel does not take.
