We stayed for a night on the way to Nordkapp, and we loved it. The staff is very welcoming and helpful. The room and bathroom are nice and comfortable. It's a short drive to the center, where there are restaurants (it can be pretty long to walk). Breakfast is good. Coffee, tea, and snacks are always available in the common room - a nice touch.

Magnificent, the place is beautiful ! We have enjoyed staying in this Hotel located in the beautiful fisherman town of Honningsvag. The staff is simply exceptional and very professional. They provided valuable information in the region especially during the month of winter when the weather can be tricky and road access complicated. The rooms were spacious, well equipped and beautiful. The beds were very comfortable and utilities functional. I highly recommend this hotel !

The lady working at the reception was really nice and helpful when I told her that a friend of mine needed to see a doctor here since she fell down to the floor and hurt her wrist in the last stop of the cruise. She helped call the emergency and making appointment with doctor and made the reservation of taxi for us to the hospital. Thanks for her kind help! Also we were granted for early check in. The room was nice and clean. Buffet in the morning was good. The ocean view was nice. And it was close to the Shanghai Restaurant with walking distance.

My room (nr.3) was a cosy little room with a bed, tv, a table and a nice bath room. It was a nice room for a short stay and a single person. If you like to stay longer it might be better to have a larger room. The manager is very kind and try to make the stay as good as possible. Breakfast was very good with delicious marmelade and good bread.

Good and assorted breakfast is served in a large restaurant in the reception area, with large windows and a great view towards the mountains.

I feel compelled to leave a review of our stay at Snow Resort Hotel, as I truly want as many people as possible to learn about this extraordinary place. The hotel’s concept is absolutely impressive — spending a night in an ice room is a unique opportunity to experience, even briefly, how people survive in Arctic conditions. At the same time, the hotel staff do everything possible to ensure that your stay is comfortable, engaging, and truly unforgettable. Special praise goes to the cuisine — the dishes we were served are, in my opinion, worthy of a Michelin star 👌 We enjoyed a tartare made from the delicacies of the Barents Sea and a reindeer steak, both exquisite and perfectly prepared. The hotel offers a wide variety of activities right on its premises, so there is no need to leave the property at all. You can enjoy sledding with huskies or reindeer, take part in a king crab safari where the freshly caught crab is cooked and served to you, or book a snow safari on snowmobiles. For those seeking relaxation, there is a sauna or the option to unwind by the fireplace in the cozy Gamma lounge. The staff are exceptionally friendly and welcoming, and any requests are handled immediately — a clear sign of a high level of professionalism 👌 We enjoyed every single minute of our stay. Every member of the team, every detail of the hotel, and even nature itself — crowned by the magical nighttime display of the Northern Lights — made our stay at Snow Resort Hotel truly fairytale-like and unforgettable ❤️ 10 out of 10. Highly recommended — you will not regret it!

Location is beautiful- typical Norwegian fishing area Very basic but also very peaceful There is an outside area to eat / relax maybe bbq (if you bring one!?) Location is ideal for those visiting North Cape. Value for money is fantastic. After several days camping the accommodation was very much appreciated I didn’t have dinner but breakfast was very reasonable and delicious. Couldn’t ask for more Thank you so much for your hospitality 🙏

I was alone....though my room did not face the lake but it was still very nice. It had two open areas with comfy sofas and two massage chairs which I used a lot. The breakfast was amazing. The views were incredible. The fact that you can always have tea , coffee and a biscuits on no charge was really nice. It was only 20 mins walk from centrum which had amazing views. The gold explorer for the northern light do a pick up directly from the house Both ladies at the reception was very sweet.

Stunning experience staying at the ice hotel, expensive but completely worth every penny. Staff were excellent and the hotel is clean and warm with incredible views. We were so sad to leave. The ice rooms are surprisingly quiet and I slept really well! Great showers next day and plenty of places to chill when not in the igloo part. Top tip: do not drink too much before bed. And get cozy and stay dry before you go to the igloo part. We had northern lights and so there was a lot of being outside before bed so we took a while to warm up before getting ready for our igloo.

One of the main attractions of Hammerfest is the harbour, and this hotel was located in that area. We had a spacious studio type of room with two huge windows facing the harbour and the sea. Always something to watch! The beds were comfortable. We were visiting around midsummer when the sun doesn't set, but it was easy to block the light with curtains.

Alta has a lot to offer.

Alta has a lot to offer. It is best to get a hire car so that you can drive around the local area, and along the stunning coastal road. In winter there is the Sorrisniva Ice Hotel (always worth a visit each year as the theme changes). Also worth a visit is the Alta Cathedral, Alta Museum (which also has a great coffee shop and gift store). We enjoyed driving West to Kåfjord where there is a beautiful little church, and by the Kåfjord bridge, there is a bomb crater from a Tallboy bomb dropped in WWII that missed hitting the Turpitz battleship. A few kilometres further around the coastline you come to a quaint village of Talvik that also has a quaint church (which interestingly, is fastened to the ground by a long cable as a previous church was blown into the harbour many years ago!). Also heading south towards Kautokeino, takes you up through Alta gorge - a truely spectacular drive through a twisty road between icicle clad mountainsides - absolutely breathtaking. Opposite the Alta River Camping, is the Sami cultural centre. There are lots of winter activities available in Alta from dog sledding and reindeer sledding to skidoos and snow shoe walking. Lastly, if you are wanting aurora, Alta is by far my preferred location, as it has clearer skies on average than other locations that are further around the west coast of Northern Norway - if you have cloud, you won't see the aurora. I have been to Iceland, Sweden, Finland and other parts of Norway, and Alta definitely comes out on top for seeing the Northern Lights. There are plenty of locations that you can pull up your car to safely view the Northern Lights, with the beautiful mountains of Alta all around - just perfect!

Can't really find any negatives for this place.

Can't really find any negatives for this place. The locals are very friendly, the streets are clean, the scenery is stunning and best of all its only about 35 minutes drive to Norkapp. If you are visiting we would 100% recommend booking a trip to Norkapp. Its a fascinating place...the top of Europe!!. We flew in, stayed 3 nights then departed on a fjord cruise. Well worth every penny. We decided to take a walk one morning, its obviously very hilly but not too taxing. Its about 5 miles to completely encircle the town though that did include a few detours for the sake of photos. There is a restaurant close to the Norkapp museum called The Corner. The food, welcome and service were second to none. Totally recommend it to any visitors. Well that's my opinion of Honningsvag, visit yourself and see what you think.

We chose Alta, the City of Northern Lights, to "Hunt the Aurora Borealis". We were NOT disappointed. It was a magical experience. Lots of beautiful northern lights shows. We did a number of activities: night time horse drawn sleigh ride and dinner; king crab fishing experience; tour of the Ice Hotel at Sorrisniva; dog sled ride at Holmen Husky. We stayed at a canvas dome in GLOD, with the most amazing guide to see the Northern Lights. We stayed in a forest suite at Holmen Husky. The place was incredible and the way they treat the dogs will completely change your thoughts on the sport of dog sledding. They were the sweetest and happiest dogs I've ever seen. We stayed at Flatmoen Natur Lodge, which is a family owned and ran farm. Each lodge has their own private, outdoor jacuzzi so you can sit outside while the snow is falling or hope to catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights.

Small town with great history.

Small town with great history. It revolves around tourist, so thankful that the museum was open on Sunday. As I did not join tours, I find 3 days was more than enough. The tour agency for Russian border stated having tours at in the afternoons however did not approve my request and insist that I book a private tour or join the morning tour (together with the tourists from the cruises). I did not want as my mother just arrived from the cruise after 7 days, and she wants to rest first. I ended up booking a taxi and the price is the same. The taxi driver brought us to both Russian borders (old and new), let us spend time and help us take pictures. The price was standard (NOK1,600) for an hour. What is lacking is probably a tour guide to explain things. But that is OK. Kirkenes has a great view but lack good viewing points (well, I did not find any...). I found a randomly shared viewing point up a hill which was good but not the best. Must visits - Andersgrotta (Daily, 12.30pm tour, NOK300 per person), Borderland Museum, Russian Border, and see the pictures in town by Ellisif Wessel.

Everyone seems to be profiting from the proximity to Nordkapp, which lowers the overall experience of an otherwise nice town at the edge of Europe. Many cruise ships that dock in the port release heaps of tourists into the town every day, which makes it feel more like a centre of some large city, not a town of 2500 inhabitants.

Definitely take the opportunity to go to the end of the island and explore the old WWII bunkers. Whale sightings were plentiful from the shore. Also, rent a car and take the drive to Hamningberg. Short 45 drive to the town, but stunning landscapes and views. You wont be disappointed!
