Property Description

Lofoten Hostel Ballstad offers dorm beds in a rustic fishermen's cabins from the 1850s. Here you can find a warm and atmospheric place to rest and base yourself for further adventures. With the mountains to one side, offering hiking and wondrous views of the surroundings, and the bay right at your doorstep, where you can spend your evenings watching the sun set or the northern lights in winter, we provide simple accommodation for those on a budget or who want to meet their fellow backpacker and share stories in the common room over a cup of tea or coffee in front of the fireplace or cook a meal together in the kitchenette. And for those that just want to rest and let their minds wander, kick back on the docks or even take out the rowboat to drift in the harbour or to head across to the local shop on the opposite shore.

Lofoten Hostel Ballstad provides simple accommodation in a rustic cabin by the sea, with bunk and single beds (bedding and towels provided) in a room or overhead loft, a small kitchen area to cook up simple meals, a dining and common area to mingle with others, as well as a sofa and chairs to relax in by the fireplace or stare out the window towards the harbour just outside. There is also shared dock space just outside with picnic tables for those sunny days or dark nights waiting for the northern lights.

Easily accessible by bus from Leknes, where you can also find a small airport with flights back to the mainland.

Such a cozy hostel! It feels like a home (especially like Pippi Longstocking's colourful home). It's right next to a cute little harbour as well. I felt very safe and welcome from the minute I arrived. Lovely place!

One of the nicer hostel I’ve been to. It’s a lot more homey and comfortable than other hostels I’ve been to before. There is no official reception desk type area so there was a little confusion because of that but there’s a sign displayed on the building with the managers WhatsApp posted on it. Ian, the manager, was very helpful. He’s consistently walking around the property making sure everything’s clean and tidy and makes himself very available for his guests if they need anything.
