Hotels Near Olenilsøya kystfort in Moskenes

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!

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.
