Thought they could have given us a better room with a view . The young lad working the desk didn't want to look for anything else at early checkin. Great hotel and the most amazing choices for breakfast buffet.

Beautiful Setting

We stayed here for two nights before a Hurtigruten cruise and could not have enjoyed it more! The hotel has a beautiful setting on the water. (I would get a room with a water view; we didn't have one.) The room was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the breakfast buffet in the morning very much! The hotel staff was very good.

Great Overnight Stay

We had an overnight stay after disembarking from a Havila ship from Bergen. Room is smallish but adequate. Breakfast included in the room rate was excellent. Hotel located at the waterfront.

Good choice to start a Hurtigruten cruise.

This was a one night transit stay in Kirkenes Norway, otherwise known as almost the end of the world. It’s a fine comfortable, easy hotel, and the meal I had was very good. In most parts of the world I give it a three stars, but I gave it an extra star just because they provided a lot in a very remote location.
