The location in Hamnoy can’t be beat, in my option!

Good “cabin”. Note that the 2nd bedroom has only bunk beds. And bring your own shampoo and conditioner and coffee. If you are over 6’ tall, watch the door ways!  

With the small kitchen you could comfortably spent a week here.

AWESOME LOCATION!

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!

The One-of-a-Kind Eliassen Rorbuer

Ours was that historic rorbuer that is in zillions of marketing brochures for the Lofoten Islands (it was the main picture in our Oslo Airport hotel later!). Although crowded with new buildings to maximize their space, it was nonetheless really fun to be right on the water (we had fighting gulls outside on the deck at 12:30am...!) and we could hear the water lapping underneath our two-person cottage. Only problem: the roof made loud tapping noises in high winds = disrupted sleep. And the couch we had to move to use the Murphy bed was VERY heavy. Also, the person in the Murphy bed couldn't get the room dark (and it was fulltime light in  mid-June) due to there being no coverings for the high windows. Otherwise, the unit was very clean, well stocked, nicely decorated, with a killer view outside.

What a fun concept: fishermen's houses (historically - ours were the modern version!)

The most beautiful place to stay in Lofoten. We had waterfront cottage and couldn’t be better view. Cottage was so cute, nice and well equipped ( no owen, but micro and cooking facilities anyway). The area was so nice, breakfast good.  The was a crocery store about  6 min by car, and also delistore with whale, salmon and other seafood few min from area by car.

Excellant choice

When you look up Lofoten, Eliassen is the place that immediately pops up. It’s like a charming little village of red rorbus surrounded by the mountains and the fjord. The rooms are modern, cosy and kitchen is well equipped (although I must admit that there was a strong smell of fish as soon as we walked in). Plenty of sockets all around the place. First accommodation that we visited where we had three waste bins to separate and recycle trash - kudos for that.
Watch out if you are a light sleeper, you can hear the neighbours’ sounds clearly and it wasn’t our best night’s sleep when it got windy either. It’s great that they provided us with a washing machine and dryer for the clients however I think that these should be situated in a more suitable room (considering the price of our stay).
Overall wonderful experience and do not regret it one bit, I would return in a heart beat.
Tip - A TV + a little broom and dustpan would also be great to have in the room.

Dream stay

The "rorbu" / cabins are situated on the small island Hamnøya i Lofoten, a short drive from Reine. It has a lot of cabins, many brand new from 2020, but it does not feel crowded, and we barely saw everyone, Still, you have the opportunity to be social if you like. Our cabin was smal but they come in every sice. It was modern with a nice bathroom and a good kitchen. The bed (a double bed) were really good! No tv. The view from every angle is stunning. The little island has a small bakery, and a restaurant (was not open when we vere there), Free wifi and parking.

So nice to walk around the small island, it is a mix of old and new. But I do not recommend walking to Reine, but go by car there.
So worth it, will come back!

Such a nice place in Lofoten

We stayed here on our visit to Lofoten.

PROS:
-cozy, spacious, MODERN cabin on the waterfront
-clean and well taken care of
-spectacular views from inside and from the terrace
-quiet
-easy to find
-number lock system with an entry code, so no need to physically get and return keys
-family friendly

CONS (there's practically none):
- no sauna (but this is not essential for everyone, I like having a sauna close by)

This place was a dream, this is our go-to accomodation in Lofoten.

Gorgeous place!

This review is for a Superior One-bedroom Cottage in this fairly dense Lofoten Rorbuer (it might have started as a traditional Rorbuer, but this is a fully modern property).  My room was spacious and very clean, with a queen sized bed, multiple chairs and a table, as well as a kitchen area with a sink, microwave, cooktop, and dishwasher. There was plenty of light from the windows, and the were ample electrical outlets. The bathroom was spacious, and included a long-handled squeegee to direct the water from the curbless shower back into the drain after a shower. The bed was comfortable, but nothing special. The light blocking curtains worked well, but there were no sheers to ensure privacy when the curtains were opened (walking around the property, it was hard not to see into the other rooms when the curtains were open).  I booked with breakfast, and it was surprisingly very basic.  

My biggest issue during my 3-night stay, is that while the rooms themselves are non-smoking, it’s ok for people to smoke outside their rooms — and when the rooms are adjoining as they are, and the windows are open for ventilation, the smoke permeates the neighboring rooms. There really should be a designated smoking area away from the rooms.  I guess this shouldn’t surprise me here in Norway where so many people still smoke, however it’s long been proven that second-hand smoke is dangerous, and it's unfortunate that a property of this high caliber (and price) doesn’t fully support the health and comfort of all its guests.

Comfortable, but not really non-smoking.

I stayed here for one night in September in one of the basic sea view cabins (the famous ones from all the photos).  Check in was quick and staff were friendly. The cabin was quite basic but was well equipped. I had a 2 bedroom but I was alone so plenty of space for 4 people. The highlight was Gadus restaurant with a really friendly waitress and the most amazing pasta. Although the scenery is really stunning I'm not so sure that I'd base myself here if I ever returned.

Spectacular scenery

Good location, clean and tidy. There are small supermarket not far from this hotel. 
My rooms has two bed rooms, private house, small living room and kitchen. All kitchen equipment are in the good condition. We can see aurora from our room. Only WiFi internet was bad.
