Scandic Kirkenes - Kirkenes

We stayed for one night only. The receptionist was extremely helpful and helped us with any queries we had even prior to our arrival All the staff were helpful and pleasant. The room was clean and tidy and the whole stopover was very good value.

Stayed here for 1 night after getting off the Havila cruise ship. Room was fine, beds very comfortable. We had everything we needed. We arrived at 12:00pm but check in was not until 3pm so we decided to see Kirkenes. Well that took 30 minutes and then we found a bar (Aurora - v good) and waited. Anyway, staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good, and we ate dinner here, that was good too. Reindeer was delicious. Recommended.

This was a great little hotel in the center of the small city. Our room with twin beds was plenty spacious and it was a real bonus having a bathtub with amazing hot water. WiFi was good. Breakfast had a variety and was delicious - plenty of good coffee.) As we arrived by ferry, we were there too early to check in but it was easy to leave our luggage in a big locked storage room and wait in a very nice lounge area before an afternoon activity. Normally the bus stop from the harbor and to the airport stops right by the hotel - but we arrived the night of a sled dog race into the city center, so the bus was re-routed to stop on the Main Street below the hotel about 2 blocks away. I would absolutely stay here again.

Hotel was great but we needed gluten free and there didn't appear to be a choice for that in the restaurant for dinner. Breakfast wasn't a problem. However this was the case for most of the food we could find online, so not unique - just a heads up. We ended up with things for dinner from the nearby Joker.

Hotellet bærer preg av å være noe slitt og av eldre karakter. Trenger oppussing (særlig av badene) for å få høyere skåre. Ikke veldig serviceinnstilt personale ved innsjekk. Svømmebassenget var stengt, uten forklaring eller beklagelse. Det var noe vi hadde sett frem til. ||Frokosten var bra, topp beliggenhet og gratis parkering på utsiden.

With over 400 Tripadvisor reviews, my comments continue to be mis-attributed. This hotel is good enough. A huge tour group took over the kitchen/dining space when we'd hope to have breakfast, but the staff replenished rapidly, and our breakfast was simply delayed. The hotel is worn. You need a separate key for the pool. There is a small pillow on each bed, and a decorator pillow that needs to go. With a huge and sparkling clean bathtub, the grip bar is loose. Watch out! Paint could use an touch-up; but the place is clean, and that's what matters. The gym: there's paper and a disinfectant. There was a space for towels and water, but neither was available.|On the positive side, an articulate staffer at the reception desk makes excellent recommendations, and will banter with information, details and humor about any topic you bring up. That annoying and belittling wait for the official check-in time: forget about it. You will get your room when it's ready, a definite plus. And on the matter of typical European mini-rooms: not at this Scandic. Even by US standards, these rooms are adequate-to-large; no walking sideways to get around the bed.

Check In staff helpful and friendly. Shared ideas where to eat and go in this small town. Rooms clean, quiet, with comfortable beds a great view of the mountains and town. Breakfast and dinner meals were excellent with a wide choice. The hotel is close walking distance to main shops, restaurants, coffee shops and bar. For expeditions, it is a pickup point.

my wife and i booked a double room for a leg of our honeymoon. The room we were given was a pullout couch. It was essentially half of a suite. No bed. Nobody pays to stay in a European hotel to sleep on a pullout sofa.
A pullout sofa is simply not a double bed. A bed is a bed and a sofa is still a sofa.

When we attempted to have the rooms switched the front desk wanted to hassle us about it. When our room were so graciously switched. The bathroom was obviously not cleaned. Holes were visible in both the tub and the tile in the bathroom. The grout on the tile was clearly filthy as well.

Our refrigerator had cardboard taped to the front of it. You can tell this place once was decent maybe 40 years ago. No effort or money has gone in to maintain this hostel in the meantime however.

Scandic Kirkenes er et flott hotell med god service, frokost super, restauranten server meget god mat og drikke. I tilleg har man et kjempe tilbud i samme hotellet og det er svømmebassenget som man kan benytte. Alt i alt et meget godt hotell og personale hvor man trives.
