    We absolutely loved this hidden gem! the location next to the picturesque lake is stunning. the cozy common areas, like the living room and reading room, make you feel right at home. the friendly staff goes above and beyond to ensure you have a fantastic stay. Plus, the multiple separate bathrooms per floor are always clean and tidy. the dry room and sauna are great amenities to have.

    The food preparation station can get a bit crowded, especially during busy times.

    The location of the hotel was perfect for our Easter getaway, with scenic views of a beautiful lake just a stone's throw away. We loved waking up to this picturesque setting every morning. the rooms were clean and tastefully furnished, providing a cozy and comfortable atmosphere. We also appreciated the free parking available, making it convenient for us to explore the surrounding areas.

    There were a few aspects that were disappointing. the lack of a kitchen was quite inconvenient for us, as we were used to cooking our own meals when staying at hostels.

The common area was a great place to mingle with other guests and have enjoyable conversations. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The location of the hostel was convenient, allowing easy access to both the West and East sides of the island. The hostel had excellent facilities, including a bar, restaurant, and a sauna by the lake. this hostel is highly recommended for its cleanliness, facilities, location, and friendly staff.

    Nothing could have been better.

    Scenic Surroundings: Nestled in the picturesque landscapes of Lofoten, this hotel offers slopes that run from summit to sea, making it feel like a charming winter wonderland.

    Limited Bathrooms: Only two shared shower and toilet facilities per floor, which can lead to occasional waiting times.

    I recently stayed at Furu Hostel in the heart of Lofoten for a few nights and had a fantastic experience. The dorm room beds were incredibly comfortable and I loved the pod-like design that provided privacy. The room itself was clean and well-maintained. The food served was delicious, although there were slightly limited options. The location, while a bit random, was easily accessible by bus and offered scenic walks around the nearby lake. The volunteers were friendly and even invited us to share dinner when the café was closed. The garden by the waterfront was an absolute dream, perfect for yoga sessions or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. I had a wonderful time at Furu Hostel and would highly recommend it, especially for its great atmosphere and fantastic staff.

    I would definitely recommend this hotel.

The beds in the dorm room were super comfy and provided enough privacy with the curtains. The breakfast was absolutely delicious, made with fresh and local ingredients. I also loved the location in the middle of the Lofoten Islands, making it easy to explore the beautiful surroundings. I highly recommend this hostel for a memorable stay!

    The staff at the hostel were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to make me feel welcome. They took the time to chat with me and offer valuable tourist advice. the atmosphere at the hostel was inclusive and welcoming, making me feel right at home.

    The cramped food preparation station, which was located down a busy corridor and had limited space to prepare food. The lack of menu options and high prices for meals also made dining at the hostel a bit inconvenient.
