We stayed only one night at the Rica Artic Hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The receptionists gave us a very friendly wellcome. Breakfast was excellent. The dinner was quite well, the local food was marked on the menue. We tasted the "reindeer-burger" and special berries, I never heard before as a dessert. Everything included the service was very...

We stayed here for 2 nights after our trip from Bergen on the Hurtigruten 'ferry' and it was a very reasonable choice. The location is very central, close to the local bus stops, whilst buses to/from the ferry and airport stop right outside. To be fair, the centre of town is not large so other hotels aren't far. Go for... More

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
