Lofoten Å HI hostel is offering accommodation in Å. There is a terrace and guests can make use of free WiFi and free private parking.

The rooms are equipped with a shared bathroom with a shower and a hairdryer. We had a short stay, but thoroughly enjoyed it. Situated at the very end of the Lofoten Islands, this accommodation is located above a Stockfish museum (unfortunately closed during our winter visit) and right next to the bus stop, just a 2-3 minute walk away. There's a fairly big parking spot, making it easy to get to and from nearby destinations like Reine, Moskenes, and Hamnøy. The neighborhood is charmingly quaint, and we had a fantastic view of the ocean from our room. Check-in was smooth, with everything communicated via the Booking.com app. Inside, it's warm and cozy, with towels provided. There's plenty of room for luggage, and the kitchen is cute and equipped with all the basic amenities for cooking simple meals. One tip: there are no convenience or grocery stores nearby, so be sure to bring supplies if you plan to cook for yourself. There were some condiments and spices available for free use when we were there. Huge thumbs up for the location, value for money, and amenities. We'd love to stay here again during the summer!

On Lofoten’s rugged coastline just 400 metres from the centre of Kabelvåg fishing village, this hostel has a sauna, BBQ area, laundry facilities and free Wi-Fi. A breakfast buffet is included.

A light and spacious lounge with a fireplace is also found at Lofoten Vandrerhjem, and the hostel has a garden looking out onto the sea towards Kabelvåg. This is a great hostel! Friendly staff, good facilities - kitchen, hot showers, drying room, comfy beds. The included breakfast is fantastic - lots of choice and much of it is home made. We loved the crispbread and brownies! Location is good for walking routes and buses. Useful Co-op Extra in the village. Oh, and amazing scenery!

The Harbour House, dorm and twin, selfservice hostel is offering accommodation in Ballstad. Free WiFi is available and private parking can be arranged at an extra charge.

Guests at the hostel will be able to enjoy activities in and around Ballstad, like hiking. It was located near a harbour and has balcony view . It was very cozy with all necessary facilities around. Only caveat was, there was only one toilet with shower so if there’s a lot of roommates , good luck. But thankfully I had the dorm to myself and I had a super pleasant stay ! Friendly staff and nice environment

Free private parking is available and the hostel also features car hire for guests who want to explore the surrounding area. I had such a wonderful stay here! The atmosphere of the hostel is cozy and welcoming, and the host is truly one of the kindest and most open-minded people I’ve met on my travels. I instantly felt safe and at home, which made such a difference while exploring the Lofoten Islands.

Set in Reine, Reine Basecamp - Apartments & Rooms features a shared lounge. There is a terrace and guests can make use of free WiFi and free private parking.

Guest rooms in the hostel are equipped with a TV with cable channels. The units feature a shared bathroom with a shower and a hairdryer. Truth be told I booked Reine Basecamp as it was the only cheapest option and when I entered my room I was a bit upset - bed, chair and that's it. However, apart from my room I had huge living room, wonderful kitchen with all possible amenities (oven, stove, kettle, coffee machine, fridge) that I realized it was totally worth money - especially since I was there all by myself for almost two days (there was another couple staying for one night but we didn't bother each other). The place is really nice, has great location - around 5mins walk to the small center and about 15-20mins walk to the start of the climb to Reinebringen hike. Anyway, highly recommend Reine Basecamp for great atmosphere, good location and amenities provided :)
