Kirkenes is a small place and this hotel is next to the central square. Rooms are well-equipped and warm, although nothing exceptional. Breakfast is excellent. There is a small bar next to the restaurant. Also sauna and pool (didnt check them). Service was efficient and polite. Airportbus connects with all central hotels and is timed with incoming/outgoing flights. It was... More

My husband and I stayed here for just one night. We chose this hotel simply because of the free parking as the other Rica hotel in town had its car park full. The hotel facade is tired looking, in fact it looked more like an old hospital block than a hotel! Anyhow the room was adequate but terribly warm. Breakfast... More

Location OK, but little uphill from city center. Were given rooms in adjacent buliding, which meant we had to go out and enter thru another door. Small parking lot. Rooms Ok, but not more. Toilet paper not refilled during 3 nts stay (no real need either) Towels not changed. Reception staff accomodating. Lobby area OK. Breakfast OK, but all our... More

We were put up in this hotel by Hurtigruten. Even though we only stayed one night, we used their lobby and internet for 48 hours. They seem to be a pick-up point for many activities--for airport buses, for snowhotel, for various tours. We stayed one night there, checked out, used their lobby for 3 hours waiting for snowhotel bus, left... More

A 10-15 minute walk to the centre of town. Rooms are cozy, and the winning factor for the hotel is the great restaurant, probably the bets food served in the whole town. King crab and monkfish are great ! Must try.

Smarting from the hammering the Australian dollar had taken, I booked an economy room at this hotel the night before taking a trip on the Hurtigruten coastal ferry. The hotel is in an elevated position a pleasant 10 minutes' walk from the centre of town. It is located close to the Grenseland museum and has a nice outlook. My room... More

We booked here for my birthday for 4 nights as it was somewhere I’d really wanted to go. The bus from the airport drops you off right outside (Just make sure the driver knows WHICH Rica hotel it is!! (There are 2). For one night we’d arranged an overnight trip to Murmansk during the trip, and when we asked the... More

We stayed at this hotel for three nights. It seems that most people who stay there are either Norwegian or German senior citizens. The airline had lost our bags, so we were rather frustrated upon arrival. We were told that the only available rooms were in the side building, and if we wanted a good room in the main building,...
