Excellent view of the fjord from the room. Saw the Northern Lights just outside the hotel, thanks to the very helpful staff at reception who called to inform us. Breakfast was great too. The only downside was the dinner - small portions (even by Scandinavian standards) and limited options.

Late arrival in a very cold winter night, a clean and modern room with good heating, that's all you need. Hotel is very functional not so cosy..., stunning looks over the Fjord.

Well located, clean, silent. The hotel has a restaurant with few dishes, but quality food. Staff were nice and arranged us a bus tour to chase the northern lights. What I didnt like is that we arrived sunday noon and the restaurant doesn`t serve lunch on sundays. I suggest that they put this information on the website of the hotel,... More

This modern hotel on the Fjord has stunning views and nice facilities. Rooms are simple but comfortable, clean and bright with good lighting. There are several excursions that can be booked from the hotel to dog-sled, skimobile and, of course see the Northern lights. This is an industrial border town but the Thon hotel and its cheery staff make it... More

på engelske...."beklager???" I am here to attend two job interviews in Kirkenes. Thon is the newest hotel in the town (I was here before, before 2010). It is a Conference facility...not the cheapest "variety" of Thon offers. I understand that in 2011 TripAdvisor reviews rated it the 3rd best hotel in all Noreg. IT IS VERY GOOD....but so new that...

Kirkenes is a great starting point to see the Northern Lights and the Thon Hotel is the best place to stay in town. Rooms are clean and modern and service is suitably matter of fact. Breakfast buffet is adequate.

Spent a night here waiting for the Hurtengruten ship. Everything excellent and good breakfast. Rooms well situated if you want to look for the Aura.

We took along time deciding between this hotel and the Rica. What a huge mistake we made! We booked in plenty of time, explained that it was a birthday adn were promised everything would be A1. When we arrived at the hotel (very exhausted and dirty after 2 days mushing in the wilderness) we were met by a man (Manwell)... More
