Really cozy atmosphere. I loved the concept of having your own bedroom but sharing a living/dining room and kitchen with other guests. Runhild clearly put a lot of effort in making it a cozy living space, it felt like a home away from home with the fireplace, comfy couches and great tea and coffee. Exactly what you need when it's a rainy day and your initial plans fall through. No need to worry about sharing bathrooms with other guests, there were plenty of bathrooms in the house (we never had to wait), and all seemed recently renovated. We stayed for 3 nights but in hindsight would have liked to stay longer. It was our favorite accommodation in Lofoten.

We tried the sauna when it was very windy outside and the sauna was not so well insolated so unfortunately it didn't reach very high temperatures

Everything is so cute. Free popcorn, coffee, milk and tea. Free yoga session in the morning although I couldn't assist. Toilets/showers look quite new. The room had the best views to the sea and mountains and the bed with extra pillows were so comfy.

There wasn't someone all the time at the reception which is understandable not being the highest season and they leave a phone number, but at the same time you don't feel like bothering them to ask questions you might ask if they were there.

Catogården in Reine, Norway, is an absolute gem that perfectly blends Nordic charm, comfort, and adventure. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed into a beautifully designed guesthouse with a warm and homely atmosphere. Each room is uniquely themed, offering a cozy and personalized experience, with stunning views of the surrounding landscape. The amenities here are outstanding, including a well-equipped fitness room, and a fireplace in the living room, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. They also offer yoga classes and kayaking trips, making it easy to immerse ourselves in Reine’s breathtaking natural surroundings. The location is ideal, right in the heart of Reine, just steps away from the Reinebringen hike and the bus stop, making it a convenient base for exploring the Lofoten Islands. What truly sets Catogården apart is its exceptional hospitality—the staff are incredibly friendly and go above and beyond to make our stay memorable, sharing valuable insights into the local culture and history. Whether seeking adventure or relaxation, Catogården delivers an unforgettable experience, making it a must-visit destination in the Lofoten Islands.

The wood-fired hot tub, and the sauna were out of service and we weren’t informed even after booking them in advance.

I've rarely encountered such an amazing Hotel! So much love for details! You feel cozy and welcome from the second you arrive, starting with the warm wooden interior, to the amazing views from literally any window to the guest's names on each door. I was sad, that I only stayed there for two nights. There is a well equipped, small kitchen to prepare your own food (even though the next supermarket is quiet a walk away) and free coffee and tea for the guests. The shared spaces (and the hotel overall) are very clean and well and comfortable equipped. The rooms don't have attached bathrooms, but there a enough shared bathrooms in the building. I never had to wait.

Great location, close to centre, great view and vibe, the building is the old town house. Best coffee we had in Lofoten and a retro popcorn machine are available for free use. Morning yoga is a must, as well as kayak tour. It really feels like home, there are a lot of retro and artistic detailes. Enough bathrooms and toilets, cosy dining space and living room where you can be alone with your thoughts or meet and chat with other guests. We got good suggestions for where to go next. Owner is very active in local community, we had a very nice converstion. There is a pub just down in the port, where we have spent two great evenings, full of good music - live and karaoke 😉

This was one of the most cherished stays in any country or any place. The owner Runhild is so incredibly welcoming and warm, she works so hard to make this experience and place special for everyone. The staff is hard working, kind, and approachable. The grounds have the best view in Reine. The rooms are cozy with warm lighting and a comfortable bed. The honesty shop was such a great added bonus when arriving late or needing anything. Overall, we would come back tomorrow. An amazing place run with love and care!!

The place is gorgeous. The facilities are very good. Yoga/fitness room can be used. The decoration is gorgeous. I enjoyed the sauna. And the kayaking that they offer was absolutely brilliant and definitely to be recommended. The room was very comfortable with a lovely view. There are fridges for storing your food and you can buy drinks and some food if need be. All in all would highly recommend! The location of this place is also wonderful.

Communication via email, text, booking.com or airbnb was tricky and slow. Miscommunication about the yoga the next morning so I got up for nothing. Be very explicit if you want to participate. I had indicated I was interested and don't see the owner anymore so I texted that I would like to join and got up early for nothing.

This place has character. From the yoga studio to the cool old staircase to the rooms themselves. Expect more hostel style rooms, but they are charming and the views are amazing. The sauna was a nice treat after hiking the Reinebringen. Conveniently located to the few restaurants in Reine, about 2-5 minute walk. The staff was accommodating.

We passed on kayaking as the price seemed a tad to high for us. The sauna was well worth it but just know it and the hot tub are an additional fee.

Excellent location directly in Reine, ideally for hiking Reinebringen. Very friendly owner and staff, cozy room. Lots of communal space available for hanging out, including a (very small) kitchen for cooking your own (simple) meals.

The kitchen really is tiny. That being said, I only had to wait once (for about 15-20 min.) in four days for being able to use it.

It's is so beautiful and perfected to tiniest details. Very comfortable beds, cozy and warm room, beautiful dining area and sitting room. Unfortunately we stayed only two nights so didn't have to experience the sauna and offered activities. Perfect location - village shop is nearby and Reinebringen hike is within a walking distance if you plan to do Lofoten on foot.
