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.

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.

Comfortable and good service from the staff.
This is Scandic. The rooms are not fancy but they are clean and comfortable. The breakfast is excellent. We had a standard twin room which had a kettle and tea/coffee making supplies which we very much appreciated.

one night before living.
Last day in northern part of Norway before returning to Oslo. The hotel is located at the entrance of the town, 20 mn from the airport. Very convenient. Near to gas station , convenient to fill up the car before returning it at the airport. Free parking available in front of the hotel.
People were helpful.
A little noisy because of the town celebration. But this is once a year.
