Scandic Kirkenes

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel was quite comfortable, and was an easy walk to the ferry terminal. Our flight arrived much earlier than the check-in time, and we were able to leave our luggage in secure storage while we explored the town. As everyone was returning to check in at 16:00, it would have been helpful to have more than one staff person at the desk. The breakfast buffet had a good variety of tasty options."
