Thon Hotel Kirkenes

Thon Hotel Kirkenes

10/10 Excellent
"Really enjoyed our stay , the hotel was situated conveniently close to the centre and not too far from where we had disembarked from a Havila cruise boat . There was also a bus stop outside the hotel where you could catch a shuttle bus to the airport . The restaurant had a good selection of meals available for an evening meal and the breakfast had a wide range of items available with a great view as an added bonus. In the evening we had a fabulous view of the northern lights visible from the area outside the restaurant so were very lucky in that respect . Staff were friendly, helpful and informative . Our room was comfortable and spacious . Would totally recommend."

"Nice clean decent sized room. Kirkenes is very small so it was pretty close to everything in town. We could not do an early check when we got moved to a morning flight in but they had a good luggage storage room for us to use. Breakfast was pretty standard buffet with a reasonable selection."
