A nice sized room, friendly, professional staff, a delicious dinner at the on-site restaurant and a fabulous breakfast buffet after a great night's sleep. The area is a little blah, not much too do, but the hotel was a happy surprise.

The breakfast was good. The rooms are basic, the Pool and sauna are nice but the sauna was off were off and had to be manually turned on and we waited on it to heat up. We took 2 bikes to tour the town and one had no brakes fortunately we did not injure ourselves and had to walk instead!!

If all hotels had receptionists that are as good as Benjamin then the world of travel would be a much better place.

Nice Stay

Perfect place to stay before catching our cruise. The front desk man was very nice and helpful. The hotel is in the city center and is close to several restaurants and a small grocery store. There is a restaurant that had a wonderful breakfast. The room had blackout curtains which helped darken the room during the midnight sun. The room was a little warm but we opened the window. You can walk to the ferry port, but a taxi is much easier.

This hotel was a clean, warm choice for our one-night stop. Our flight arrived at 8.30pm, so the 9pm restaurant closing time was a little tight (and other dining options were limited), but thankfully the helpful staff were able to squeeze in a meal for us at the last-minute.

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.

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.

Short stay. Staff was helpful and courteous
Swee Tiam, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Perfectly fine hotel. Great breakfast!!

It was a rare hot day and 5th floor room was too hot to sleep for a long rime. The window opened but no way to get the cool air in. A simple small fan added to the room to place by the window would have made all the difference. I realize no need for A/C here.
Merlyn, 1-night trip

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.

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!
