Old hotel and attched to a Chinese restaurant. Can't say it's comfortable but also can't say anything bad given the location and price. Still the No.1 budget choice in this small town.

This hotel was was a perfect budget one night stay while we waited on the coastal ferry to take us south. The room was as advertised and the staff were friendly and helpful. The dumb waiter to move luggage to higher floors rather than carrying up stairs was welcome after a long day of traveling.

Förmånligt boende ifall man inte är kräsen
Mattorna i trappan är i behov av grundlig rengöring. Dörren till rummet hade en stor springa varför ljudet från korridoren störde. Hotellet saknar hiss. Sängen var skönt och badrummet rent.

The property is clean and functional and the beds comfortable. Nothing to do with the Hotel but when you plan to stay in Kirkenes make sure there is not a music festival. The noise outside goes on until the early hours of the morning. We were on an early flight out and got very little sleep. The other guests were very noisy as well. There is also pub/club next door with people making a fair amount of noise on the street.

Better options exist
This is an old property. A 3-block walk from the airport bus stop. Very limited front desk hours. No tea option in the lobby. No elevator but a dumbwaiter for your baggage. Breakfast box available for 950 Kronos that wasn’t worth it. Room was fine but no frills. Internet OK.

Liked the location. Didn’t like: no 24 hr staffing although I did some work arounds like place my luggage in hallway since it was too early to check in. No soap. Dispensers were empty & bottle on bathroom counter was empty. I was already wet in the shower when I realized the problem so I added water to the bottle to get some soap from the bottom. Tv not working. Drain in bathroom sink slow. Toilet does not flush well.
