This is not a luxury accommodation. But for the amount of money is great value. Rooms are clean and neat. Bathrooms clean. There is laundry available for very inexpensive amount (about $2 per load for both washer & dryer). Arne was our staff member taking care of us and he was great: extremely polite and professional, very well mannered and educated. We had great chats and he was very enlightening about Norway and Senja Island. We met other travelers who were also very nice and like-minded (profesional and family educated people into adventures and cultural travels, who were very friendly and enjoyed conversations). The location was convenient, and perfect road trip stop between Tromsø & Lofoten Islands.

Hyvät maisemat ja yhteiset tilat. Keittiösä oli hyvin tiöaa ja välineitä, vain kokkauspöytätilaa olisi kaivannut lisää. Olohuone/ruokailutila oli miellyttävä. Huone oli kelvollinen, kerrossänky ja yksittäinen vuode. Wc ja suihku oli kunnoltaan vain välttävä ja rapistunut, vaatisi remonttia. Suihkupää kiinteä ja ei lämpötilasäätöä, muovimatto oli värjäytynyt. Pihalla oli yyvät grillit ja erinomainen kota. Myös frisbeegolf rata harrastajille, mutta ditä emme kokeilleet.
