Private Rooms in Lofoten Guesthouse

Position and price. Booking.com puts Leknes Airport 1 km away and the Vestvågøy council offices under a kilometre, which makes this a town base you can reach without a car. A shared kitchen with a tumble dryer and a washing machine does the rest.

Solo travellers and couples who will trade a private bathroom for a short walk into Leknes. Anyone flying into Leknes and out again with a night at either end. Not for anyone who needs their own bathroom, a sea view or somewhere to park a dog.

The bathroom and toilet are shared, and so are the kitchen and the lounge — the property has confirmed as much in answer to a guest who asked whether the whole place was theirs. The rooms are small: 10 m² for one of them. There is no lift mentioned and the rooms are on the second floor. Quiet is required between 23:00 and 07:00. Pets are refused and smoking is not allowed. No extra bed can be added; whether a cot is possible depends on the room you book. Check-in runs from 16:00 to midnight and check-out from 08:00 to 11:00. The score is 8.1, so read the reviews before booking.

Three rooms, each sold as a Double Room with Park View: two of 12 m² and one of 10 m². One has a double bed, one a large double and one two single beds, and each takes two people.
