We didn't stay overnight here, so can't rate the rooms, but the hotel ambience, staff and breakfast were first class. We flew up to Hammerfest in the early morning, and took the lunchtime Hurtigruten back to Tromso, after Hammerfest Tourist Info told us we could walk into the Rica and buy breakfast (£14 / $22). Even though we were carrying... More

It is as "Tony Travels" says about the only game in town and personally I don't think that it is a very good one. The rooms are tiny with wafer thin walls, they are in the process if not nearly finished, kitting it out with new lavatories in all the rooms so it is a little improved. Staff are fine,... More

Stayed in a single room. Room was small with sparse furniture but clean. There was a flat screen with Norwegian channels but those channels televise US shows that are not dubbed but are subtitled. I had a room in the new section of the hotel which had a view of a parking lot and the sea. There is no AC... More

Stayed three nights in a single room on business. Room was rather small and had a smallish bath room with a shower only separated from the rest of the room by a glass door. Soap, shower gel and shamppo are the only amenities provided. Bed was good and linen very clean. Cleaning in general was okay. Room has a bit... More

Apart from the fact its about the only game in town, its a nicely situated hotel with great views along the fjord. Staff were very good. Seems to be a lot of oil/rig/ship workers just dossing around as I'm sure everything is booked up quickly.

This was the nicest hotel we stayed at in our tour of Northern Norway. The room was spacious and well appointed with a nice view. Staff were very friendly and helpful, and we had a good value bar meal. Breakfast was excellent. Parking spaces were limited but we found one.

What can i say, the only thing positive in this hotel is breakfast. Very good, and big choice of food. Everything else katastrophe. They dont know what means to clean a room, the first night we stayed here we couldnt sleep here because they made overbooking (!!!!) and we had to go to another hotel.

I stay in the Rica Hammerfest several nights/year, and I'm very satisfied. The rooms are clean, with comfortable beds, and most rooms are relatively large - if you are travelling alone. The breakfast buffet is good. The food in the restaurant is good, but not exactly cheap.
