This is a really nice basic hostel. Great staff. Comfortable bed with good bedding supplied. Good shower. Nice common room areas. Great breakfast included in the price. Although it is between the road and the railway line I slept well.

Amazing breakfast and friendly and chatty staff

The friendliness of the staff and the amazing breakfast are two of the highlights of this hostel. The breakfast is outstanding and was included in the price I paid. I remember having crumbled ham, grilled potatoes and prawns fried in garlic butter at breakfast, in addition to the usual cold breakfast options. Highly recommended. The cook deserves high praise for the excellent breakfast. The staff, many of whom are high school students, are very friendly and chatty. Do remember to pack a pair of flip-flops as shoes are not allowed into the hostel rooms. And the communal kitchen can be in a different wing of the hostel from where you are staying. The hostel is conveniently close to the bus-stops for buses going to (about 200 meters uphill) and from (just across the road) Bodo/Fauske.

Mattress uncomfortable needs replacing as springs hurt and it is not flat. Check on late because of private function, sent text at midnight to say breakfast the following morning was elsewhere because of another function. Why do Kate they would have known. Poor communication.

Billigt og centralt. Det er bestemt godt, at der findes billige alternativer til hotelovernatninger og andet. Jeg havde forventet et mere personligt værtsskab, når nu vi befandt os i en kirkesammenhæng. Personalet var, efter min mening, meget anonyme. Der var mange nedskrevne regler, med ting man IKKE måtte. Det gik desværre ud over følelsen af at føle sig velkommen. Morgenmaden var inklusiv i prisen, men desværre ikke særlig spændende. Det virkede som om, at der skulle spares, og der blev igen sendt et signal til gæsterne om, at de ikke skulle tage for meget; små kopper, små skåle med yogurt, ét æg pr. person osv. Mit forslag er, at Sjömannskirken sætter prisen lidt op, så gæsterne ikke skal få dårlig samvittighed, hvis de er meget sultne.

Rent hostel, venlig personale, stille om aftenen. Gode faciliteter, billig morgenmad og snacks. Det er et hostel, så du bor sammen med andre og deler køkken. Hvis det er det du vil have er stedet her ideelt. Vi boede på separat værelse men der er også mulighed for at overnatte i sovesale (separat for mænd og kvinder).

Gemytligt hostel

Ett trevligt hostel centralt i Narvik. Vårt rum var litet men hade allt som förväntades. Trevligt med lakan och frukost. Köket nar lite slitet och stekpannorna har nog sett Diana bästa dagar, men annars fungerade det fint.
