I participated in three different activities- snow showing, Sami culture and dog sledding - and each was very well organized, stimulating and fun. The area around the resort is excellent for walking. The staff are exceptionally helpful and welcoming Overall, an excellent place to visit.

The location, the hotel, and most especially the staff are awesome. I had dinner at the hotel’s restaurant ( Oct. 19th) and there 2 ladies and a gentleman who seems genuinely happy with what they do and they made me feel at home. The same goes for the front desk the next day when I checked out. It is rare for me to leave reviews but I am glad I made the decision to drive and stay with Malangen Resort. Plus, Auora Borealis gave me 2 separate shows on top of that.

Beautiful views. Restaurant food was only ok and there are no other restaurants within 1.5 hrs. Front office staff is mediocre and inconsistent depending on who was there. There are no phones in the cabins so there is no way to communicate with the front desk except by email or walk the 100-150 yards in the snow to get to the front desk. No internet except in the lobby areas. Transportation option to/from Tromso is also very limited and expensive. Taxi each way is $180-220 US.

Outdated property. No wifi, no tv besides 3 Norwegian stations. Temperature in unit was either freezing or 30 degrees Fahrenheit Far from all activies besides premium priced resort activities.Restaurant overpriced with small portions. Rented premium 3 bedroom sea view for 14 days, only stayed 5 and rebooked another hotel in Tromso. Resort would not give refund, blamed tv and wifi on "owner" of the cabin. I would not recommend to anyone. It was a horrible experience with staff smiling at me while they insulted me telling me i should enjoy nature while only having a few hours of daylight, or telling me to learn Norwegian to watch the 3 available channels, and suggesting i should read a book. Didn't even have a smart tv to cast to, though without wifi probably did not matter. Felt like i was back in the 70's with this outdated property. Do yourself a favor and book elsewhere.

Modern hotel - great location!

We have just returned from 2 nights at Malangen Brygger. The hotel is very new and modern, located right on a fjord. We stayed in a superior room in the hotel, although there are a range of lodge and cabin accommodation options. We were initially checked into a standard "accessibility room" by mistake and we were a little disappointed by it, but this was soon realised and corrected. The rooms all have large windows and overlook the fjords - really stunning views to wake up to particularly with the bed facing the window. The superior rooms are slightly larger and have a sitting area, and the design is modern and clean. There was no in room safe or minibar, but otherwise a lovely room with great facilities. The only reason I haven`t given a 5 star rating is because the hotel was very quiet during our stay, with only 2 other groups we saw at breakfast and dinner. As such, the hotel generally only had 1 staff member on who would both wait on, serve at the bar and run reception, so generally they were fairly stretched. The staff were all very friendly, but could have been more attentive if just having 1 job to do. Sometimes you would turn around to order a glass of wine, and no one would appear for a while. The selection at breakfast was also very limited, again I suspect due to the few number of guests staying.

Bærer preg av manglende vedlikehold.

Hotellet er klassifisert som fire stjernes og er ganske så dyrt. Vi leide leilighet med 2 soverom og synes det mildt sagt er overpriset. Mye bærer preg av lite vedlikehold og er slitent. Alt for dårlige møbler i leiligheten samt på balkongen. Lekkasje i varmtvannsbereder bl.a. Virker heller ikke innbydende fra utsiden. Ikke en blomst å se noen plasser. Stort forbedringspotensiale. Frokosten var grei.

Juhannusyön unelma

Hotelli oli todella kauniilla paikalla lumihuippuisten vuorten ympäröimänä vuonon rannalla. Hotellihuoneen suurista, koko seinän leveydellä olevista ikkunoista oli mahtavaa seurata juhannuksen valoisaa yötöntä yötä. Näimme ikkunasta myös vuonossa uivia delfiinejä. Kylpyläpalvelut olivat pettymys, kun ulkoporeamme olisi pitänyt vuokrata yksityiskäyttöön, ja hinta kahdelle halvimmillaan 170 €. Saunaan ja poreisiin ei ollut yleisiä vuoroja ollenkaan. Ravintola oli Norjan hintoja ajatellen keskihintainen. Aamiainen oli runsas ja hyvä.

Skuffelse

Fikk en fantastisk fint rom, men vi hadde gledet oss å spise i restauranten. Når vi sjekket inn fikk vi vite at på grunn av en bryllupsfeiring kunne vi kun spise inne i puben med en bregrenset meny, pizza burger eller laks. Når plan va å spise reinsdyr og kreps så blir det en stor nedtur å få burger😕 hadde vi bare fått beskjed om det på forhånd så hadde det vært greit. Flere gjester klagde også.

Average. Nothing special. Amazing surrounding and great landscape. Hospitality and guest relations absent. Limited menu. Polite staff but lack of empathy. Ordered steak and fries but there’s no fries, instead you’ll have THREE potatoes wedges. No induction of the property. Located 1 hour and 20 min from airport by car. Nearest shop is at 2 hours walking distance or 10 min by car. No option for take away items from the bar restaurant to your room. No help with luggage. Sent a message to the reception prior arrival mentioning my partners birthday and asked to organizing something special and never received a response, had to ask the waiter for a celebration plate after the meal in front of my partner. Asked to cancel an excursion booked less than 2 hours before due to sickness and been denied as would charged me anyway. No shop inside the resort. Overpriced for what offers.

Incredible pace in a spectacular natural setting, about 1.25 hours from Tromso. Our fjord front cabin was spectacular- each day and night we woke to breathtaking views ( traveled in winter.). We saw the northern lights from our multiple balconies and the large windows in our unit. Everything was beautifully appointed. It is, however in a remote area tucked amidst mountains and fjords.! If you go, note there are no stores or on premise food purchase options except the restaurant. Also, it is not possible by Norwegian ABC laws to have a social or class of wine outside of the main hotel. BYOB, snacks and other provisions from Tromso ior elsewhere! It is a perfect and magical getaway! Thank you to the resort staff for making our stay truly memorable!
