Great breakfast and comfy bed.

Comfortable room with a lovely bath and a substantial breakfast spread included in the price. Easy viewing of the northern lights from the window also sealed the deal. The food in the restaurant was also very good. Particularly the fish.

Kirkenes stopover

Comfortable and clean room. Pool n sauna but didn't use them.Delicious breakfast with lots of choices in a comfortable dining area. Bus to airport out side and if coming from cruise terminal costs 70nok . . Walkable distance but cumbersome with luggage.150 nok to airport.Check time as it runs a few times per day only. Hotel has a shuttle if u arrange with them for a fee. Chef was very helpful. Assisted with our luggage when we arrived!V. convenient location. N pick up for snow hotel excursions. A must!

Lovely breakfast. It was fun to have some gift items in the lobby. Well displayed, not obtrusive, but I found some local things that I purchased.

10/10 Exceptional

From the first minutes you enter the hotel, you are surrounded by an atmosphere of attentiveness and responsiveness. The staff is sensitive and understanding of your needs and is worthy of all praise. Without any doubt, next time I will definitely stay at the Scandic hotel. The employee at the front desk deserves special mention; he is a very caring and friendly young man.

8/10 Very good

As a family room, the room is very small. It’s a double room size with two foldable beds from the wall. Otherwise the beds are comfortable.

An excellent place to stay in Kirkenes

Unexpectedly great quality. Clean, conveniently located. 20min walk to terminal. The included breakfast was excellent in terms of quality and variety. We ate one evening meal - which was also good quality.

As with all Scandic hotels we have used in Norway, the breakfast buffet is tremendous. An amazing variety of foods all fresh and well presented with excellent coffee and espresso options.
