We stayed heret for one night in the end of march 2013. It was freezing outside, but very hot inside and we even had to leave an open window during night (this was not to bad, as we were able to wait for the Northern light). The staff was very helpful and breakfast was very good with a lot of... More

Nice location, centre of this small town, everything, including supermarket on a walking distance. Great breakfast, with a lot of fresh fruits. Helpful staff, free coffee and tea during the whole day. Wifi Internet. Bus from the Airport stops just in front of the Hotel. So, if by some reasons you are in Kirkenes, you can stay in this Hotel.

We stayed two nights in the Rica Arctic Hotel. We choose it because of the location in downtown Kirkenes. We decided we wanted a better taste of the town rather than be several blocks away on the Arctic waterfront. We were very happy with our decision. The hotel restaurant was quit nice, as were other restaurants. We particularly enjoyed was... More

Our one night stay here followed the completion of our 6 day cruise north from Bergen. I had picked up a bit of a bug on our travels by sea so it was good to relax in a warm, friendly and nicely furnished hotel. Okay, nothing outstanding but comfortable and quiet. I don't think the dinner is very reasonable (£100... More

Stayed at the Rica Arctic Hotel for 4 nights from 10th February 2013. Upon arrival at Kirkenes airport I was absolutely devastated to find that my suitcase hadn’t arrived. Upon reporting it to a very unhelpful guy at the airport, I couldn’t help but get the impression that it was a common occurrence. When checking in at the hotel, I... More

The hotel staff were very friendly and the food served in the hotel restaurant is delicious! The price is fair but the quality of the food is better than most restaurants in oslo. The room is clean in general and the location is right in the middle of the town center. Overall, I would recommend this hotel!

Our stay on this hotel in a very cold February was fine. Nothing special but nothing wrong except the meals on half- board were edible but no more. We did have a lunch which was was superb (and paid for separately). There is a computer for printing boarding cards (as SAS insist on not letting you print your boarding cards... More

We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights which were split by a stay at the snow hotel. We arrived on Sunday afternoon and Kirkenes had a surreal quality with no one out in the streets and very cold! However, the welcome we got at the hotel from all the staff made us feel very warm and better inside. Yes,... More

One night stay after travelling up the coast of Norway on a Hurtigruten cruise, specifically to go dog sledging. Great hotel, very friendly staff, lovely food (had dinner, expensive but it is Norway! and breakfast). Large, comfortable room with fairy-tale view of the snow covered square. The dog sledging was fantastic, but don't think there is much else to do... More
