"I would have given this hotel a 5-star rating if it weren't for the incorrect information provided to us at check-in. We were excited for breakfast, but arrived at 9AM to find out that it had already ended at 9, despite the posted hours stating it was until 10. The hotel is new and the rooms are modern and minimalist. The staff was helpful with recommendations and there is a luggage storage room. I would recommend this hotel in Kirkenes, but suggest double-checking meal times with the staff."

"The Ritz was a very fun place. My friend and I ordered The Favoritten pizza which was so good and definitely rivaled some pizza from back home (U.S. The price was a little higher than expected but that is the status quo in Norway for the most part. I went on a Tuesday so I did not get to experience the nightlife per se, however the atmosphere was great and I would highly recommend it any day of the week."

"When we were scheduled to stay at the Snow Hotel for the night, our travel agency instructed us to bring our luggage to Rica and leave it there overnight. We were then picked up and transported from Rica to the Snow Hotel later that evening. Upon arrival, we checked in our bags at their secured room and the woman at the front desk kindly offered us the use of their sauna and lounge. Despite not being paying guests yet, they graciously extended this hospitality to us. They also provided helpful information about our transportation arrangements for the following day. The lounge had a large super-automatic coffee machine and comfortable couches. Although I did not see the rooms or stay overnight, I would consider staying at Rica if I ever return to Kirkenes, based on the excellent treatment we received during our brief visit."
