Villa Svolvær

An apartment with a kitchen and its own washing machine in the middle of Svolvær, from a 25 m² studio to an 80 m² flat with a balcony, entered with a key box code rather than at a reception.

Couples, small groups and anyone staying several nights who would rather cook and do laundry than eat out every evening. Children of any age can stay but pay adult rates from 2, and there is no cot or extra bed. Drivers should plan on the street, and pets are not accepted.

There is no parking at the property. Asked where to leave a car, the owner pointed to free street parking close by, which is not the same as a space of your own. A NOK 400 cleaning fee is added, covering the clean at the end of the stay along with bed linen and towels; the property has confirmed it shows in the booking total. Nobody under 18 can check in, a child is charged at the adult rate from the age of 2, and there is no cot and no extra bed. Cash is not accepted, smoking is not allowed and pets are not taken. Check-in opens at 15:00 with no closing time on the listing, but the property asks to be told when you will arrive.
