Svolvær Central Stay

A self-catering flat within a walk of the middle of Svolvær, with laundry in the unit and a check-out that runs to midday — unusually late, and worth a morning if you are catching an afternoon ferry or flight.

A couple, or a small family prepared to use the sofa bed. Children of any age are accepted and are charged as adults from the age of ten, but there is no cot and no extra bed. The booker must be 18 or over.

The listing contradicts itself on size: the unit is called a Two-Bedroom Apartment and sold for four, while the description and the room detail record a single bedroom with a double and a sofa bed. Establish which before you book. Arrival runs from 16:00 to 23:00 with your time sent ahead, and you must be 18 to check in. Quiet hours run from 23:00 to 07:00. Pets are refused, smoking and parties are not allowed, and there are no cots or extra beds. Parking is listed but not described as free.

One apartment of 35 m², sold for up to four people. Booking.com's description records one bedroom, one bathroom and a fitted kitchen, and the bedroom detail gives a double bed with a sofa bed. The unit is nevertheless named a Two-Bedroom Apartment on the same listing, and is credited with two beds. No extra bed or cot is available.

Heating, a flat-screen TV, a washing machine and a kitchen indoors, with a terrace and a garden outside and a view recorded from the property. WiFi is free. Parking appears in the facility list without being called free. The apartment is non-smoking and quiet hours apply from 23:00 to 07:00.

Self-catering, with a fully equipped kitchen by the listing's description. No breakfast, restaurant or bar comes with the flat, but Svolvær's shops and restaurants are a short walk away around the harbour.
