Thon Hotel Kautokeino

What a horrible experience, the receptionist and manager of this hotel is rude and unpolite, I recommend to choose another hotel. She didn’t give me a room with view (and the hotel Washington empty) even if I asked specifically for it writing 3 e-mails that did not receive answer. She assigned me a dark room on the rear where I did not find the bottle of water promised for Thon members and the fridge was empty.

The hotel is very good for an overnight stopp. Parking places just in front of the building. Rooms are not very large but well designed. The gym was excellent equipped and on the ground floor with a view outside. The Sauna was in a cask with a large window outside. The breakfast was ordinary good. Great selection of high quality food. We really enjoyed it.

Kjempebra pitstop for slitne bein, med et av de beste treningssenter jeg har sett på hotell. Samt Badstue/2 x Jacuzzi! Fantastisk frokost God stemning! Anbefales

The restaurant must be the worst in northern Europe. Service is incredibly slow, if you get service at all. Have tried this restaurant in several occasions. Not a single positive experience. Too bad there are so few options in Kautokeino.

The facade on the outside is in natural colored wood and the hotel was built about 10 years ago. Located between the village center and Circle-K along the main road. Plenty of free parking outside. Didn't see any engine heater slots or electric car charging post. Reception is straight ahead when you enter a small lobby with a few armchairs. Around the corner there is a nice bar and inside a restaurant (the restaurant is closed on Sundays, which is common in hotels, there is a pizzeria a bit away that closes at 8pm on Sundays) where breakfast is also served. Our room was one floor down with the elevator, on the same level as the gym, sauna tub, etc. We had a small dog so had booked a dog room (always contact the hotel directly so they unlock such a room). There is a fee of NOK 400 per dog (which is quite high compared to Sweden). Nothing extra was included for the dog such as a bowl, blanket or dog treats. A smaller double room of approx. 16.5 square meters. Calm. Free WIFI. Since it has been over 10 years since the hotel opened, they have started to renovate some rooms (a couple of rooms at a time). This room was probably not one of the renovating ones, but still fresh, cosy. Light brown parquet floor with light walls and in our room the furniture was in orange and the curtains by the windows were in green. Painting with elements from Sami culture. Comfortable beds with lovely bed linen and lovely soft duvet. Two pillows on each bed (compliment). Directly inside the door is an open wardrobe with some smaller shelves. Full-length mirror and a modern, normal-sized bathroom with shower and which has shower cream, shampoo, conditioner and body lotion in small packages. Luxurious! The room was at ground level with a view of the valley through a fence. A desk with accompanying chair and above a flat screen TV (had some of the Swedish channels for Swedish guests). A smaller armchair. The room was chilly but the electric element could be set up. No air-conditioning (considering summer time). The window can be opened. A larger gym is on floor – 1 with a changing room and shower opposite, as well as a drinking water tap and smaller towels outside. If you want to use a sauna, it is in the form of a smaller sauna barrel that is placed outside. Special door cards can be borrowed at reception. Ideally, you should change indoors because the anteroom to the sauna is small. Lovely heat in the sauna (water to pour on the stones must be fetched inside) and no lighting if it's dark outside (winter time). We had to borrow small rechargeable candles which made it cozy. Special thanks to the male receptionist who let us quickly bathe the sauna by ourselves as no one else was using it too temporarily. The hot tubs that are also outside, I don't know if they are only open during the summer or if they have to be rented? Breakfast is served in the restaurant and is included for all hotel guests. Sami music is played from the speaker, nice! Hot food (sausage, meatballs

We asked for a room for three people very spontaneously and also arrived quite late. The barkeeper/ receptionist was very nice and fixed a room for us on a very short notice. Room was clean and cosy, breakfast was amazing. I will come back and can only recommend this place.

Bra service ved check in og i bar. Spiste 2 dager i resturanten, og første dag var det kun "fredagsbiff" på menyen. Lørdag var det overaskende bare "lørdagsbiff". Etter at servitør rådførte med kjøkken, kunne vi velge reinskav eller burger i tillegg. Dette er for dårlig når en tilbringer en helg på hotellet. Ellers var maten god, både i resturang og i buffet. Lokale innslag på buffet var veldig bra. Mindre bra er at familien opplever å bli trakkasert i baren av lokale innbyggere. Disse var svært fulle, så en kan stille spørsmål om dette er innenfor mtp. skjenkebevilling. Hotellet burde hatt vakt i helgene. Bra/greit hotell men opplevelse i baren trekker veldig ned.

I arived at 5 pm. and my booked room was not cleaned yet and there were 10 other guests also waiting for the rooms to be ready. So waiting, waiting, waiting .... for 1-2 hours. And the waiting guests got the rooms in random order. So there is no managing of the hotel. The was no menu card in the resturant and other guests waited for a long time for the ordered the food. At breakfast - some of the dishes quickly becare empty. Far the worst hotel I stayed in on my journey - and it wasn't cheap either. In my mind the hotel is similar to Fawlty towers (by john cleese)

The location of this hotel is great! Breakfast was so good and the staff is so friendly and helpful. Comfy beds and the atmosphere is unbeatable. Highly recommend.
