Hotels With Wi-Fi in Finnmark, Norway

We stayed here the night before we boarded the Hurtigruten from the Kirkenes Hurtigrutekai, and when we left the airport when we arrived, half the shuttle bus into town was going to the Thon and half was going to the Scandic! In all of these small towns across the coast of Norway have a Scandic and a Thon hotel! We initially booked at the Scandic but changed to the Thon last minute because we decided it might be a better option. We were dropped off outside of the hotel which was set right on the water, just a short walk to the main drag of Kirkenes. We walked into the hotel which was which was charmingly designed, very modern and cozy. Check-in was fast and easy, and the hotel room was nice and very clean! The bed was ridiculously comfortable, super soft, but we had a view of the town rather than the water, which would have been preferable. We went to breakfast in the morning and it was absolutely phenomenal. This was the first of many amazing hotel breakfasts we would experience on this trip and we were so impressed! The selection was phenomenal and the restaurant was set away from the lobby by huge windows looking out on the water. The food was great and it was a wonderful experience. This was a great hotel and though I haven't stayed at the Scandic, I would recommend this hotel if you're ever in Kirkenes — and it was just a 10 minute walk from the Hurtigruten dock.

A local brand hotel chain hotel in the Arctic Circle. Overnight on the way to North Point. The room is small but clean and tidy, the breakfast is rich, the parking lot at the hotel entrance is paid, and the Northern Lights Cathedral is 80 meters away. The overall impression is good

I don't know if this is feedback to the hotel, but the people up north they are just extra friendly and charming, smiling with their eyes, their heart and body. They are so funny, relaxed and still so helpful and professional, and so was also the staff in Thon Hotel Alta :) The rooms are typically Thon, great in other words. And who doesn't love to start with a good breakfast? I gave this on 9 out of 10 points :)

Rooms are simple but clean, that is all what I need and whay I expect from a low budget hotel. It is in a good position nearby the shopping center and restaurants (the hotel has also a restaurant). What I really appreciate is the kindness of the staff. They were really nice and welcoming!

Great place to stay if you decided to head up to the northern cape. Also it is a 15 mins drive to a view point to see the northern light. Also a 10 mins drive to the town for food. FYI: road to north cape will be closed if weather condition is bad, so cater more than 1 night here if you really want to go up to the north cape in winter.

Not bad place

We stayed in the Snowhotel for 2 nights in October on their autumn package. I have to say we were really disappointed. The hotel is currently a building site with many areas of construction so really not very peaceful. This was not mentioned at any time when we booked. If you are staying overnight in the ice-room you basically have no room or even personal area. We checked in off a Havila cruise at 10am and up until 3pm the following day when we moved in to a cabin, we had nowhere to go apart from a communal lounge. There are no lockers for your clothes so you have to leave them on top of your luggage in a store room which anyone can access- including groups just touring the hotel. They provide two curtained changing cubicles where you are supposed to get ready to sleep. When we arrived back at midnight from the Northern lights chase there were twelve of us all trying to get changed in the same space. It felt like we were in a hostel rather than a decent hotel. The next morning we were soaking wet after a walk but our cases had been moved - we discovered to the porch of the cabin but we were told we could not access it until 3pm. Instead staff said we would just have to get our dry clothes from the cases and change in a luggage room behind reception! No offer to go and get our luggage and bring it back to us. We also had a very unpleasant and dangerous experience during a husky walk due to a lack of basic safety instructions and an inexperienced staff member. I have given details of this directly to the hotel hopefully to prevent anyone suffering a serious injury in future. On a positive note the cabins are lovely once you get in them, If you are planning to go I would recommend staying in a cabin and you can just tour the ice-rooms.

My wife and I stayed the night here in December to experience the Igloo hotel and it was unforgettable. The main lodge is lovely and cozy with all of the arctic charm and amenities. There are lots of couches and comfy places to sit with views of the Alta river and surrounding mountains. The restaurant Lavvu has wonderful food in a charming replica of the Sami home. Pros on Igloo hotel: It is definitely worth the experience for one night. Each year the artists create a different theme for the hotel. This year it was Greek Mythology. It is truly amazing what they were able to create in such a short time. The ice sculptures and glowing interior lights are definitely something to see. If you're not staying the night, you can still pay to tour the hotel and see the sculptures. We chose to upgrade and stay in a suite which was larger and less claustrophobic than the regular rooms. Each suite features different gods and goddesses. We chose the Aphrodite suite. The sleeping bags they provide are super warm and go down to -30C so don't worry about tons of layers, it's better to sleep with less on. The hotel is literally a cave with a constant temp of -4C to -7C so you will be fine (as long as you don't have to get up in the middle of the night! ha) Also it is so quiet. We literally did not hear another soul for the whole night and felt like we had the place to ourselves. In the morning, the sauna opens at 7AM. (pro tip: get up and out right at 7 and get in the sauna! The showers get crowded once everyone wakes up and there will be a line if you wait) Highly recommend the sauna before a shower to warm up and then enjoy the delicious Norwegian breakfast buffet at Laavu. Cons: This experience is not for everyone. I am telling you if you just want the Instagram pics of the Igloo then just go tour it, but to stay overnight you need to be prepared for a few things. (You can also always stay in the main hotel and still experience the igloo by touring it) You can't take any personal belongings to your ”room” in the Igloo since it's so cold so everyone who is overnighting there has to store their luggage in a small room on racks. And every time you need something from your luggage you're going into this room to get it (with everyone else). You are of course not able to go to your room to relax because it's cold so everyone who is staying in the Igloo hangs in the hotel's common spaces or goes on excursions until the evening when the hotel opens for sleeping (after 8PM). The main hotel is super cozy with lots of places to land and chill but not having your own space to relax may be hard for some...be warned. The sleeping bag room opens at 8 and anytime after that you can get your bags and pillows and head to the igloo to sleep. Make sure you go to the bathroom right beforehand because no one wants to get up in the middle of the night and walk back to the main hotel to pee! Trust me! One guest even wore depends to bed (he was happy he did!) Pro tip! :) We slept ju

Friendly and welcoming staff.Nice and clean room. Comfortable beds. The room was quiet. There is a kettle in the room with teabags and instant coffee. The breakfast buffet has a good variety. The only downside is the weak water pressure. Otherwise we had a great stay!

Очень тихо, чисто и великолепно! Находится в сам центре города. Вид из окна классный

When we planned our trip to Norway, we mainly wanted to see the Northern Lights, but we also wanted to stay in an ice hotel (just for one night). It was a bucket list experience of a lifetime and worth every penny! We arrived in time for dinner in the dining room shaped like a traditional Sami teepee. It was delicious and hit the spot after our long and white knuckle drive from Tromso. The hotel's website has very explicit instructions for what to wear to sleep in the ice hotel (basically just a merino wool top and bottom and socks and a balaclava and gloves) and what not to do in the igloo (don't leave your cell on an ice table or it will get frozen to it and leave it in your sleeping bag). You are given a mummy sleeping bag that is rated to below zero, a pillow and you sleep on a bed of reindeer pelts. We chose to sleep in a suite, which have the intricate artwork and themes, rather than in a plain room. The entire hotel is like an art gallery or museum because everything is made from snow and ice. The whole hotel melts away at the end of the season except for the LED lights. This was the 25th year of the Sorrisniva Igloo Hotel and their theme was the best of the last 25 years, so the snow and ice carvings were varied and very interesting. The biggest take away from the ice hotel for me was how quiet it was inside. The snow deadened all the noise. For me, it was hands down the best night sleep of my life. I felt like a baby in the womb snuggled in my sleeping bag and I wasn't cold at all. Now my husband, on the other hand, didn't have a restful sleep because he is of the age when a man gets up frequently at night to go to the bathroom. To do that, you have to get out of the sleeping bag, put on your boots without getting snow on your socks or wool undergarments and walk to the bathroom. Luckily it was right next to our room. He was certainly glad he had this experience and I wish he had the night's sleep that I did. The next morning we had a delicious and filling breakfast and then we headed out for a morning snowmobile ride. We each had our own snowmobile and the fresh snow on all the trees was breathtaking. They had special thermal suits for us to put on and we weren't cold at all. It was a ton of fun and I recommend adding this on to your stay. They also have a non-igloo part of the hotel and we were told that the King of Norway stays there in the summer to fish in the river on the property. So you know this is a well regarded place to stay.
