Tripplo's verdict, based on guest reviews
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 3 October 2026 · How we review hotels
Henningsvær Bryggehotell is for travellers who want to wake up by the harbour in the fishing village of Henningsvær in Lofoten. The hotel sits on the water with views of the sea and the mountains, the village centre is a few minutes' walk away, and Svolvær is 23 km down the road. Guests speak most warmly about the beds, which many call the most comfortable they have slept in, the warm and welcoming staff and a restaurant whose dinners are a highlight in their own right. The drawbacks are mostly practical. Prices are high and breakfast is not always included in the rate, parking spaces are fewer than the rooms and go on a first-come basis, and not every room faces the water. Couples who book a harbour-facing room or a junior suite will find a stylish, comfortable base for exploring Lofoten; anyone who needs guaranteed parking or wants breakfast included should check the details before booking.
What Guests Loved
- The hotel stands on the water with sea and mountain views, and the village centre is a few minutes' walk away. Guests see it as an ideal base for exploring the rest of Lofoten.
- The restaurant, which serves European cuisine, is one of the most praised parts of a stay. Guests describe dinner as excellent and amazing, and several plan their evenings around it.
Things to Consider
- Several guests found the prices high for the area and were surprised that breakfast was not part of their rate. Breakfast itself is liked, though a few found the buffet merely adequate and the hot dishes not warm enough.
- There are fewer parking spaces than rooms and they are allocated on a first-come basis, so guests arriving late in the day in high season may struggle to find a spot.
Should you book it?
Henningsvær Bryggehotell is worth booking for couples on a Lofoten trip who want a stylish harbourside base — but pick somewhere else if you expect breakfast to be included in every rate.
