Home Hotel Arcticus

We had a wonderful stay! The rooms were very nice and perfect for our family with two kids (10 and 9 years old). The food was really good — the kids absolutely loved it! 😍 The location is perfect, with fantastic views, and the staff were all very kind and helpful. Highly recommend!

There wasn’t any appropriate drapes or blinds to darken the bedroom, so plenty of light during the night. On top of that, the ventilation was also quite noisy, a bit like sleeping on a plane… fortunately, I had my earplugs! So, not the perfect conditions for a good sleep. The rest of the room was good otherwise. The breakfast and meals are also nice.

Already disappointed on the check in: Dinner: compared to Scandic 200 m away the dinner like in prison canteen- some sausage and mashed potatoes, no variety at all. For drink only water, juices are out. Forget about desert, vegetables, fruits. In food I would say complete scam… Price - 10% more expensive plus had to pay for “sea view” with window 90x90 cm. Rooms from 1990, condition as well, double bed - two single prison beds which disconnect in every sudden move. The sliding door to bathroom is barely holding, and 0% privacy, so if you are with a lady then prepare to fart in her ear. Very disappointing. Have been visiting Harstad many times and many places, this was first and last time I go here. I hope this review gets further and they will rethink their business policy. Have to look on other hotels with similar price - Scandic, Thon, even 99% of Airbnb places in Harstad are much better choose a specially money wise. For service can’t say much, but it would be good if the reception told that the additional payment is useless unworthy “sea view”. Forgot to mention the roundel door that either wants to kill you or want to give a signal about the place.
