The room was very cold and no heating in the bathroom.
I arrived about 4pm,
The restaurant was very helpful, it was booked out from 6pm but they were able to provide me with a meal at 5 pm. I really appreciated this as there was no where else.

Wonderful place to stay. I arrived by bus from Kirkenes and the bus stops at the door.
Short down hill walk to the village centre, not much there.
The Sami Parliament is located here, beautiful building.

Rommet var rent. Personalet er hyggelig. Men de må lære seg til å etterse om det er håndkler på plass, nok toalettpapir, såpe og shampo i dispenser, om tv fungerer og om termostat/varmeopplegg fungerer.
Man sitter med en følelse av at Scandic burde investere mer i denne flottne lokasjonen folkene so jobber der.

Helt greit hotell, gammelt og noe slitt men rent og ryddig. Hyggelig personell. God frokost. God plass til parkering rett utenfor. 230v stikkene på parkeringen til motorvarmer/ elbil fungerer ikke, får ikke laderen til å starte pga. jordingsfeil. Prøvde omtrent alle stikkene/ kursene der ute og det var jordfeil på samtlige. Dette bør utbedres/ oppgraderes.
