Fast Hotel Svolvær

My visit to Lofoten was solely because of the Northern Lights. As a solo traveler. a central location, inexpensive, safe, clean are the key factors i base on for the hotel search. Fast Hotel’s convenient location, self-check in, are superb. But during my stay, from check-in till the next morning, the entrance door to my room could not be locked at all and i had to go out without locking my room. Till the next morning a young male employee promised to help fixing it. He did. Was and am grateful to him. On the second night, i ended up not searching for northern light but the LIGHT - electricity broke down and internet connection was also down - from before midnight till 01:29. - and the hotel main entrance door, usually remains closed and is to be opened via pin code - now the sensor is not working (it is now 03:45, still not working), making my plan of going out to observe the northern light and coming back to the hotel not possible. Somehow, during the wee hours at the lobby i met someone who works nearby and stays at the same hotel, taught me how to manully open the faulty main entrance glass door (just use hands, with slight force, to manually slide open the glass doors to both sides. It didn’t require much force at all.) While technical hiccups can be rectified, here is my suggestion to the Hotel - please install a light for writing desk. The whole room has only two side table bed lights. No general light for the room at all (there are recessed ceiling lights but switches cannot be found). At the writing desk, a light sauce is a must-have. That said, i still like the hotel a lot because of its location and self-check in, completely without a Reception counter/area - that is wonderful. G reat is also he closeness to the bus terminal (not noisy at all) is pivotal as the buses (running infrequently in Lofoten) are the “lifeline” for those who visit Lofoten without a rented car. As a solo traveller, i will want to come back to this (and/or similar) Fast Hotel. i like it. It is like a trusted friend, sometimes not feeling well, but a friend is a friend.

마트 및 도심도 도보로 갈 수 있는 매우 좋은 위치이다. 주차 공간은 호텔 바로 앞 도로에 3-4대 정도 무료 주차가 가능하고, 길 건너 유료 주차장이 있다. 무인 호텔이라 출입문도 코드를 받아야 들어갈 수 있다.

ที่พักดี ทำเลดี มีริฟท์ หาง่าย

酒店無前台，訊息溝通不暢，要住這家酒店建議先與攜程確認如何入住。

距離機場較近的快捷酒店，設施乾淨整潔，自助check in不是太順利，需聯絡攜程客服才能拿到大門密碼和房間資訊

到了酒店找不到前枱，最後打長途電話給酒店才告知是自助辦理入住的，可以在正門貼指示或提早發電郵給客人。

Great place to stay. Very nice room keeping. Works perfectly without reception. Code for entry also more than on time. Blow dryer available. For the price perfect.

This is a very basic hotel. Simple room and no extra. No reception. No breakfast. But it is clean and felt safe.

Excellent location, near Hurtigruten Terminal. The room is big.
