Thanasis, my host, made the trip special. He could not have been more helpful. The accommodation was super and was everything as described. The town itself had everything needed and the township was great to walk around. A tip for those arriving by plane...book a taxi to Kirkenes in advance. It was a blizzard when I arrived and all the taxis were taken. It was freezing and I was lucky that a driver called a taxi. for me or I might still be there. Thanasis drove me back to the airport upon my departure as the bus wasn't timed to coordinate with the plane departure time. An excellent host! I missed the Northern Lights but Thanasis sent me a photograph of them the following night. My timing was off by one night.

Kirkenes is a small pleasant town with few sights but the Grenselandmuseet is well worth a visit. The location is recommended for viewing the Northern Lights but it was too cloudy during our visit (Nov). There are a few restaurants in the centre, the most popular being the Ritz with very good pizzas.

It is the area around Kirkenes that is the main attraction. We travelled to Grensa Jacobselv beach which was beautiful and sunny on the day we visited, same for Ovre Pasvik National Park which was breathtakinlgy beautiful. Both are quite a drive from Kirkenes though and we chose the town to learn about the history from WWII, the hotel had a pool (although it was not operational!!) and as the airport was there. Next time we would definitely go for a cabin in the woods and see the reindeer up close.
In town we ate at Surf n Turf which was decent, waiter had a sense of humour and good was quite good. Nothing spectacular but good enough, depends what you like. The other place we ate in town was Ritz, which was an excellent pizza and we would recommend it for the food but was pricey compared to other towns in Norway; little other choice though. Most other places were closed we assumed due to no tourists, so not worth it or maybe worse closed down following Covid downturn.
The central part of town had the feeling of needing a boost from its Covid slumber.
We loved the area though and will come back, armed with better knowledge than first-timers.

We stayed 5 days, much longer than most visitors because we wanted to maximize the chance to see the northern lights. As it turned out, 4 nights were cloudy and on the last night, the skies cleared a little and being at Sollia and having trekked into the countryside up the hill from the lodge, gave us the best chance to view the lights, just a 10 minute walk from our room.
There were enough activities in kirkenes to keep us amused for 5 days - dog sledding with Birk's (here you're the driver of the sleds), king crab expedition and you drive yourself there on the frozen Barents Sea, the Andersgrotta the underground bunker was very interesting, hiking in the Taiga, and we had to have our daily coffee at Johnny's Lunch Cafe in Kirkenes. Johnny is an Italian and makes coffee the only acceptable way with an Italian Expresso machine. Thank heavens for Johnny's! Coffee in Kirkenes mostly comes out of cafeteria type/press the button coffee.

If you plan to visit the north of Norway in the winter, a stay in Kirkenes will give you the full experience. Area is save, people are friendly and all services like transport ext. works as clockwork. Also a lot to do in the short winters day.
Wonderful welcome from a very caring couple. .walking distance from Hurtigruten/havila port. Lovely wooden house. Felt like home from home. Very clean.Everything provided for long or short stay. Even dishwasher and washing machine. Walking distance to town. Owners told me when the Northern Lights were visible, so I could run out and see. Tlanassis also drove me to Border and Snow Hotel. I would absolutely love to stay there again. Thank you, both..You deserve to do well, and I'm sure that you will.
We had a wonderful stay. The cabin we stayed in was lovely - good size and nicely decorated. When we first got there, we did not know the way and were struggling to drag our luggage over snow to our cabin. A lady who works there kindly drove a snow mobile for our luggages. Both breakfast and dinner were good too. We also got to do a few activities there - visit the snowhotel, seeing the ice statues, say hi to the huskies and of course the king crab tour! I would definitely want to come back again!
The flat is beautiful, accessible and wonderfully located with a view on the harbour. It’s easy to arrive there by taking the bus from the airport in Kirkenes. It is also very easy to walk from the flat to the Hurtigruten terminal. The host is extremely kind and generous, he welcomed us personally and shared with us stories and tips about the country. In the flat you have all the comforts you need. We highly recommend a stay at GotoKirkenes. And many thanks for having us!
Having read the reviews, I was pleasantly surprised by our accommodation. Our room opened directly off the lobby, and although small, was warm and comfortable, with perfectly laundered bedding.
The lobby contained a coffee machine and microwave, and there was a supermarket on the square, as well as a number of restaurants (we can recommend the Bangkok).
The location was very central, directly opposite the Scandic and next to the local taxi depot.
Perfect location and beautiful view, comfortable bed.
The owner was very kind and allowed me to dine in the restaurant which is connected to the hotel. I came very late and was very hungry, so I really appreciate the effort and the thought.
We had a room over looking the water and saw the most beautiful northern lights!!!
Dinner and breakfast were outstanding with an emphasis on local cuisine! The staff at the desk and in the restaurant were top notch!
The room was excellent, really comfortable and clean and had a nice view of Kirkenes. The hotel itself is in a great place for getting to/from the airport and the cruise terminal. The breakfast was exceptional!
- Location among nature
- Great staff
- Clean cabin
- New experience regarding the snow rooms, they were lovely, though we lived in a normal cabin (can’t bear the cold)
The cabin is so comfortable, and nice. The homemade dinner was so wonderful and over expectation. There are enough space for relaxing and viewing from sitting area.
