Scandic Nordkapp

Terrible hotel ive ever been. Bad location, no help reception, no service, rooms like prison and hard to find. Never come here, never buy any money hotel like this.

Our room here was pretty basic but unlike a lot of local accommodation, it had a private bathroom. The rooms are on the small side with no tv but the bed was comfortable with good bedding and the room furniture was reasonably good. The carpet was a bit worn but this far north with the weather conditions here, I guess that’s to be expected. The bathroom is small but the equipment is fine and there was plenty of hot water. A shower curtain was a surprise rather than a moveable screen but it was clean. On the down side, this place had about 5 coach parties here each night during our two night stay so the buffet breakfast was very busy and somewhat noisy. The dining room is really nice but if you can, avoid the bus tour crowds as the food servery area is very small for the number of guests trying to access it. At one stage on our first morning, they ran out of clean plates. Overall, a good location for the local sights but a somewhat budget quality stay.

On a two night stay travelling on local coach with driver (not on the luxuria coach with drivers) with Leger holidays on a 16 day Arctic Circle and the land of the midnight sun holiday, apparently this used to be the Olympic Village, over two floors with no lift, rooms were clean and comfortable, no tv or hairdryer or tea and coffee making facilities, we enjoyed a buffet style dinner and breakfast, meals were on a set time of 45 mins a setting to eat, you could sit upstairs in the lounge area after your evening meal, as the evenings stayed light we enjoyed nice walks around the area the views and scenery were amazing, the hotel is in a excellent location, staff friendly and helpful. On our first night at the hotel we were taken at 9:30pm by local coach and driver to the North Cape, the north cape hall is a vast complex with cafe, restaurant, toilets, large souvenir shop, small museum and a video cinema. We saw the globe of the north cape and the midnight sun which was absolutely perfect, we had fantastic photos. On our second day staying at the hotel we went with local coach and driver to visit Honningsvag, Skarsvag and Kamoyaer fishing villages and tea and waffles in the Christmas house. I enjoyed my two nights stay at the Scandic Nordkapp hotel.
