Detailed Reviews
Hotel looks ordinary but the room and bathroom very clean. However the star attractions were the lovely friendly Swedish receptionist and the very talented chef. The dinner was excellent. We stayed two nights and had super food. Highly recommended

this hotel is perfectly located, right across the ferry that will take you across to other places in Lofoten.
although I was there is summer there is absolutely nothing to do in Melbu - just stare and be amazed by the amazing, stunning surroundings.
the food at the hotel (dinner & breakfast was quite poor) and the restaurant lacks atmosphere.

Steer clear of this hotel if you can. We were met by employees, none of whom spoke Norwegian. Our room was dirty and the TV didn't work. We were in a room with windows facing an additional exit and were woken early in the morning by a busload of tourists who were going on. It was extremely noisy, and we had to keep the windows open because of bad air in the room. The breakfast buffet was no more than you can expect, and even though we were there in good time before the buffet closed, there was almost only cold food left. They also couldn't bear to cook more hot food. I recommend driving 20 minutes further north to Stokmarknes, because this here is not worth the money. We paid far too much for what we got in return.

The hotel has a strategic position to visit Vesteralen and Lofoten Islands.
They are renovating the reception and restaurant areas choosing a modern and cosy style.
Staff is kind and attentive.
The restaurant offers a good variety of meals at competitive prices.

Overall poor quality, especially compared to price.
The overall service was poor, with inattentive staff. During dinner, they didn't manage to serve everyone at the table at the same time.
Sadly, there's really no good alternatives if you're going to Melbu.

Average or lower. Service is lousy, maybe this is the standard in the area. Simpel breakfast buffe. But much worse is that they hardly clean, or removes plates and glasses, from the tables at breakfast. Not before all tables are full of used plates and glasses. Ruin a nice breakfast feeling. Is the staff sitting in the back room drinking cofee all the time? The room needed fixing (bathroom) , not very nice.

The location is good. However, this does not compensate for the run-down and outdated atmosphere, inattentive staff and unappetizing food. The place gives more the impression of a youth hostel than a hotel and should be avoided. At EUR 120 or more for a single room, it’s a complete rip-off.
Should you be forced to stay there on a rainy night with absolutely no other alternative, you are recommended to avoid room 240 at any cost. It is located right above a narrow passageway to the parking lot. During my stay there, several busloads of guests started hauling rolling suitcases on the pavement right under the room from 5:30 a.m. and onwards, making noise comparable to a freight train in a tunnel. Further sleep was out of the question. The management showed no interest in addressing the problem. If room 240 is the only available, you are well advised to spend the night in a bus shelter or under a railway bridge instead. The noise and discomfort is quite comparable, but comes cheaper.

I stayed in Melbu Hotel for one night during a business trip in November 2014.
The check-in was friendly and fast.
The hotel is located in the heart of Melbu, directly at the ferry-terminal. Furthermore it is somewhat located in / next to a mall that you have to cross to come to some of the rooms. The rooms were not large, but large enough. So were the bathrooms. My room had a TV, a doublebed, two armchairs with a table and a desk. The bathroom had floor-heating - a big plus! The room was clean, so were the linen and the towels!
Wifi was free and was sufficiently fast. However, in some rooms it didn't work due to poor coverage.
We were served dinner - typical Norwegian christmas specialties. The quality and taste of the food was very good. Breakfast buffet was no too big, however, it provided everything one needs to start the day in a good way. The quality of the products during breakfast was very good. Service during breakfast was friendly and attentive - coffee was served!
All in all I can recommend the Melbu Hotel.

Melbu hotel itself is Ok. But expect some physical exercise getting your luggage to your room. The restaurant was Ok. Ask for local beer. Staff were very helpfull and service-minded. However it would appear that most employies are expats. Nothing wrong with that but how long they stay at the hotel and get to know the area is anybodys guess. After a good breakfast you just pop down to your rented car or the bus and minutes later you are aboard the Fiskebol ferry.
