Villa Bryggekanten

A 14 m² room with its own shower on the Henningsvær quayside, in a hotel of thirty rooms rather than three hundred, with a bar downstairs and a sea view if you book that grade.

Couples and pairs who want to be in the middle of Henningsvær on foot, and families who can take one of the four loft rooms or a pair of interconnecting rooms. It suits guests who do not need a kitchen, a washing machine or a cot, none of which the hotel has.

Neither cots nor extra beds are offered, so a third person cannot be added to a standard double; the hotel says its four family rooms, each holding a double bed and two singles, have to be booked with it directly. Parking is free but there are only a few spaces, and Booking.com's fine print makes it subject to availability — the hotel points guests to public parking nearby, which may charge. Upper floors are reached by stairs only. No guest laundry is available, though the hotel says someone in the village offers a laundry service. Check-in closes at 23:00.

Four grades, all 14 m²: a double or twin with a sea view, a double or twin looking over the village, a standard double or twin without a view, and a twin with two beds. Each has a private bathroom with a shower, linen, towels, free toiletries, a hairdryer and a coffee machine, and hypoallergenic bedding is listed. Interconnecting rooms are available. The hotel's own site describes four loft rooms for up to four people. Some units sit entirely on the ground floor and are described as wheelchair accessible; upper floors are reached by stairs.

Booking.com lists facilities for disabled guests. Some units are entirely on the ground floor and described as wheelchair accessible, while upper floors are reached by stairs only.

Free WiFi, a bar, heating, hardwood or parquet floors, a socket by the bed, hairdryers, towels and linen. Facilities for disabled guests are listed, and the hotel is non-smoking throughout. Free parking is limited to a few spaces. There are no washing machines for guests.

A bar on site, and breakfast, which Booking.com's reviewers mark well; the hotel has said gluten-free options are put out at breakfast. No restaurant is listed at the hotel itself.

Misværveien 18 in Henningsvær, the tettsted Kartverket registers in Vågan municipality. The hotel is roughly 300 metres in a straight line from the centre point this guide uses for Henningsvær, so it is in the village rather than on its edge, with the harbour immediately outside.

Booking.com gives no airport or ferry distance for Villa Bryggekanten. It does put the Lofoten Museum, the aquarium and Galleri Espolin within a 20-minute drive.
