This property location is great in town centre. The room is average, very cluttered with 2 single beds joined, a large sofa bed, a big desk , a big cabinet with fridge and the smallest ironing board of the wall. The air conditioning didn’t seem to work, a smaller table fan in the corner. Tea facilities were available with hardly furnished. The bathroom had a bidet, filthy dripping. The toiletries on website were Not in the room. The bed was comfortable and had great linen and one pillow each which was very comfortable. One high risk in our room was a rug which had m

Had a great time at this location, The hotel is in a good location. The room was spacious and clean. Asked the front desk about activities in the area. The lady who checked me in was very helpful, but on Saturday morning, when I tried to ask about local bus service for a trip, the gentleman did not attempt to help at all, stating i only know about the hotel. Breakfast had many choices and was tasteful, despite front desk issue, i would recommend.

This property was top of our list! It was so convenient being in the city center. There was so much to do in the area and a lot of things were with walking distance such as the Arktikum (great place to see the Aurora in the city!), Candle Bridge, shopping and food. The hotel was clean and I loved the design, the breakfast was good and I love that Robert’s Coffee was right down stairs. We will be back!

Best option for value, location and comfort. I arrived close to midnight and the staff were so welcoming. Public bus to/ from airport and Santa’s village are a few blocks away. Just pay with a credit card. 2 shopping centers within 2 blocks and a 12-15 minute walk to the Articles Garden to see the Northern Lights. Sauna is warm 6-9 pm and unisex. Very nice. Bed was comfy and bathroom large and warm. Definitely worth iit and affordable.
