Room beautiful, Norwegian decor. Big windows looking out over the fjord and mountains in distance
We had an amazing time at Malangen, the staff were really welcoming and helpful, and they went above and beyond during the activities we booked. Thank you so much!!
It was a stay just for a few days to see northern lights. Almost all was meeting expectations. It's clean, well-organized hotel. The only disadvantage was a mediocre breakfast buffet. On the other hand, restaurant dishes were very well.
Beautiful place by the fjords.
Blessed to see the northern lights both nights that we were there by just stepping outside the hotel restaurant and out at our cabin balcony. Absolutely amazing and hassle free.
Restaurant offered nice meals.
We were 9 traveling together. 6 of us stayed at a beautiful cabin and 3 at the hotel.
Staff very nice and helpful. Manager very kindly offered help to my daughter when my granddaughter needed medical attention. He drove them to the medical facility, waited and drove them back. He was truly a Good Samaritan.
We are forever grateful.
Malangen is beautiful but it is a secluded place. Be prepared. No taxis, other restaurants, supermarkets, pharmacy… just the hotel, cabins and nature to enjoy.
Also you need to be prepared to haul your luggage from the hotel reception to your cabin.
But overall it is worth the visit. Highly recommend it. We went from Tromso in the shuttle buses they offer. A nice 1 1/2 hour ride
The double bed wasn't a double bed at all; it was two single beds side by side, and it wasn't comfortable at all. The pillows were awful, and there was only one duvet on the double bed, and it was a single-sized one. Everything else was great.
It is the only restaurant around so you are eating every meal there. Given the remoteness, I think the hotel can do better at offer more services (yoga, art related things, etc.).
3bed house was a great choice. Wonderful waterfront views. Parking and charging was very easy and right by the property we had. No wifi but 5g worked fine. Remote, rural location. The restaurant at the property is good but nothing else for miles. We self catered in part.
