Barents Hotell, hotel in Kirkenes

Located in the town of Kirkenes on Bøkfjorden, this bed and breakfast is just 328 feet from the town’s main street. Barents Frokosthotell offers free Wi-Fi..

Excellent location, just a 150 ft walk from the Barents bus drop-off at the Thon Hotel and a fraction of the cost of the Thon. Extremely clean and comfortable rooms, floors polished and disinfected daily, we saw this. Free Coffee from an automatic espresso machine in the lobby. Owner on site, at least after 11am, let us store luggage in hotel until 6pm departure, let us use comfortable chairs in lobby. Very convenient, next to a large square with an AJ mini-market for takeaway or eat in food, and a couple of convenience stores 7-11 type, Narvesen and Joker chains.

    Thanasis, my host, made the trip special.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    A very comfortable 2-bed apartment 15 mins walk from the Hurtigruten terminal and 5 mins walk to the centre with a few restaurants and the airport bus stop. A very welcome continental breakfast and filter coffee was provided by the helpful owner. There are part views of the Kirkenes Fjord from the bedroom windows. A visit to the Grenselandmuseet is recommended.

    Excellent hotel for a very small town. Great view over Kirkenes Bay. Very quiet. Conveninet location at the edge of town, about a 20-minute walk from the Hutigruten/ Havila ferry terminal, and the Airport Express bus stops in front of the hotel, timed to meet the twice-daily flight to Oslo (cost 150 NOK). And great buffet breakfast!

    The property gives you a feeling of home away from home. The hosts are very welcoming and hospitable, the property has much more personality than chain hotels and is conveniently located right next to the port. Would definitely stay here once again if we visit Kirkenes

    The staff at the hotel is exceptional. Think top hotel league, but with an Arctic small town twist. Totally made my stay. Sure, the hotel has a great pool and saunas, it is located at the very center of Kirkenes. Yet the staff is what makes this hotel unique.

    The pool area was really nice, and due to COVID we had to book a private time to use it. So we had the pool and sauna all to ourselves. Loved that! Excellent price, so it was a really good option to offset our two nights at the Snowhotel.

    Kirkenes is a small town, so everything is nearby. The location is great, right at the waterfront. Excellent breakfast. The room was pleasant and clean. However, it was a bit noisy due to the carpet free floor – not a big deal though.

    Nice hotel for a reasonable price for 1 night before the flight. It also good that they have a kitchen and coffee machine. But the coffee machine wasn't working on the 2nd day. Thanks for the early check-in.
