Place was FILTHY and very noisy, owner is loud, rude and disrespectful. Derelicts hang out there! In Kirkenes ALL RESIDENTS CALL IT THE SECOND WORSE HOTEL PRECEDED BY THE BARENTS HOTEL. If you want peace and quiet and CLEAN - Do NOT stay here.
Reception, often fails to fill water for coffee/tea
Looks like a prison doors are heavy and slam walls are so thin you can hear people on floor above!

Cheaper option in town centre.

Quite basic but much cheaper than other hotels in Kirkenes, so this was the reason for us booking this hotel. It is actually fine, close to the town centre and convenient for a nights stay before catching the ferry or going to the airport. We had an easy walk to the cruise ferry terminal. Free coffee is a nucellus bonus and our room was fine for our short stay.

This hotel is a disaster. It is dirty, loud, and the owner is rude and disrespectful. The "breakfast is pitiful and in a refrigerator (pre-packaged) that the smell was nauseating. Apparently the locals regard is as the SECOND worst Hotel in town and there are only 4! Derelicts hang out in the so called lobby and it doesn't feel safe. Pay a bit more and relax ELSEWHERE

The property is old and needs a lot of repairs. The room was tiny— barely enough room for two people to move around. The tv did not work, nor did the electrical outlets on the desk. The beds were small and hard. There was never anyone at the reception desk except once. I wish we had chosen another hotel for our two-night stay in Kirkenes. I would not recommend this property.

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.
