Hotels near Reinebringen, Reine

The hotel reception is very good! Because I read the comments and introduction, I know that there will be bunks! So in advance and Ctrip said that there are people who do not arrange for the elderly. The reply is no bunk! Do not worry! But go to the hotel front desk and say that there is no request, and the hotel is full, if you ask in advance, you can do not arrange. Although Ctrip finally apologized for the compensation, the overall booking was not good! Then the hotel front desk showed me another room without a bunk bed! Say if you remember to remember again next time! The front desk also introduced a lot of local conditions to us! Cook for three nights, one day under super heavy snow

I stayed with my girlfriend in this small hotel in lovely Reine in August. We were pleasantly surprised by how nice the place is: starting with morning yoga, good self-catering facilities and a bright room facing out to sea. The actual stay was great. However, I left some clothes behind by mistake and have now spent a month trying to get the hotel to send them back to me. It's a series of unanswered mails, messages and calls. This reminds me that when we were going there we also had the experience of not getting replies to our messages. I don't know how a tourist facility can function with such poor communications. Its just a shame that the time there is now a bit spoilt.

The Eliassen Rorbuer should be a mandatory stop for anyone who wants to experience the most fabulous lodging and views available in the Lofoten Islands. This hotel is constituted from an historic Norwegian fishing village, with individual and well-appointed cabins for guests, many of which cabins face out directly onto the spectacular harbor and towering mountains near the town of Reine. The cabin rooms are spacious and immaculate, with separate bedrooms and sitting rooms where you can luxuriate in the incredible scenery right outside your door. The village includes a top-flight restaurant (Gadus) with delicious included breakfasts as well as dinner if you so choose. The staff is warm and friendly, and there is even a washer-dryer right on premises for use by the hotel’s guests. Best of all, the location is perfect, within a short drive of truly amazing hikes like Reinebringen and Ryten Mountain/Kvalvika Beach. The hardest part of our whole trip to Norway was having to leave this very special place!

Considering that Norway is the most expensive country in Europe and that the breathtaking scenery and quaint fishing villages of Lofoten make it the country’s #1 tourist destination, the high price of the converted fisherman’s cabins here is pretty average. The cabins are refurbished to modern standard but are somewhat spartan. Mine had a stove-top but no oven, not even a microwave or a toaster, and the lack of a dish-rack meant that you had to use the dishwasher at least once a day or else improvise. The bathroom was similarly minimal. The bed was comfortable but not properly balanced, so the upper mattress kept on slipping off one side of the bed overnight! I had to park the car on the clifftop and walk the final 50 m to the cabin (which was 800 m from the reception). But these are minor issues: the setting is fabulous in all weathers (and staying a week meant I did see the harbour, village and mountains in brilliant sunshine, torrential rain, swirling fog and eerie stillness). Self-catering is a good option in a country where restaurant meals are exorbitant, and the traditional rorbuer on the water’s edge are definitely the place to stay. The environment is peaceful, the staff friendly and efficient, wifi excellent and everything clean and functional.

I stayed in this hotel during a single trip and I must say that it fascinated me for the colors, the atmosphere and the landscape. The hotel has a restaurant where I have eaten very well. For those traveling by car to the discovery of the Lofoten Island, it is easy to find a parking place. The only point, and on this I would advise to fix, is that, at least in the room where I sleeped (at the first floor of the building where there is also a restaurant, faced on the inside) the tent was too ”light”. to contain the light of the ”no night” of the northern summer ... so it was not easy to sleep. For the rest of the very kind personal and atmosphere that recompenses every possible effort, moreover, as said, in the restaurant where I appreciated the quality of the prepared meals. If I had to advise a friend I would certainly do it.

We are from North Carolina, USA, and this was our first time above the Arctic Circle. We did a lot of research and kept coming back to Nusfjord Arctic Resort. And now we know why. Everything at this place was as described in our research, only better!! We stayed in a Harbour Cabin Suite (#36). The cabin was spotless, very comfortable and cozy, charmingly appointed and nicely stocked with coffee and mini bar. We stayed six days and, while it was cold and rainy, it was always toasty warm inside. We learned so much about what life was like for the fishermen during the fishing days in the late 1800’s. To be sure, we were far more comfortable and pampered in these cabins than they were! But you could feel the history in the air. The spa, hot tub and sauna were a wonderful treat, especially in the cold weather. Breakfast and dinner were delicious! My favorite was the Lofotlam (lamb)!!! And we had the best hot chocolate with cream at the Kafe each afternoon. All the staff were very generous, thoughtful and cheerful with help, information and general conversation. Staying here was truly a unique, authentic and very special experience!

The Lofoten Cottages are located in one of the most beautiful and peaceful (not touristy) parts of the Lofoten Islands and the the islands themselves are really really beautiful, so this is saying something. The cottages are basic but provide everything needed, the food and service was good and Nusfjord is is ideally located in the middle of the islands which makes it a good base for exploring.
