The restaurant was not open on Christmas Day except for breakfast. Hotel staff told us restaurants around town would be open on Christmas Day. This was incorrect. As no restaurants were open and we went hungry on Christmas Day

Excellent staff, very good breakfast, clean, modern room, worst bathroom design ever. Architect obviously thought to cleverly fit everything into a closer space but must have never tried to sit at the toilet or take a shower. Coumd jave worked if he had turned things around.

One of the best scandic

The best hotel on our way up to the north. First time there were sort of separated rooms for us and children (with their private tv!). Breakfast was super, with a wonderful view.

Unexpected vista!

We arrived to catch our cruise boat and were looking for a functional hotel. We were more than pleasantly surprised with the view of the sea, both from the room and the restaurant. Breakfast was an incredible spread with Norwegian specialties. Highly recommended!

Very nice hotel

This was a very nice hotel slightly off the town center. The room was very big, with big windows and a great view. It was also clean and very comfy. Breakfast was wonderful-too many choices to be able to try everything.

Clean and basic hotel.

Clean and plain basic hotel which suited a business trip, slow wifi, but at least it had wifi. So no complaints.

I stayed here one night on a work trip. Very very nice room. Nice staff. But most of all, VERY nice breakfast. Both the food selection, the layout, the restaurant (luxurious), and the view! I'd love to stay here again!

Basic, but comfortable Hotel

Could definitely use some refurbishment, but overall not too bad. Comfortable, and cosy restaurant. Beautiful location looking out into the cold sea and gives you a definite sense that you are not too far from the North Pole.

Veldig hyggelig personale, både i resepsjonen og restauranten. Angående renhold på rommene, kunne det vært bedre opplyst når vi kom at vi selv måtte gi beskjed om vi ville ha nye hånduker og oppredde senger hver dag. Der ble det en misforståelse.

Veldig hyggelig hotell m flott utsikt og god comfort. Frokosten var super og betjeningen var veldig hyggelig. Hotellbaren kunne hatt litt bedre utvalg f.eks liten vits å ha gin i barskapet uten å ha tonic 😀, men trivelig betjening.
Utsikten fra rommet til båten som tar oss videre.
