Lapponia...❤️
Pros:

Stanza spaziosa. Sauna, piscina e centro fitness sono sicuramente una chicca in più della struttura. Posizione centrale con fermata di autobus li davanti.

Cons:

Prezzi in generale, sicuramente sopra la media. Un po' di professionalità in più non guasterebbe, visto che, ho mandato un'email di conferma dieci giorni prima del mio arrivo e non c'è stata nessuna risposta e, di regola, dovrebbe essere al contrario.

Pros:

Colazione ben fornita. Possibilità di avere piscina e sauna

Cons:

Ci è stato notificato all’arrivo all’hotel che il servizio del ristorante era chiuso. Abbiamo prenotato chiedendo due stanze vicine, all’arrivo ci hanno proposto due stanze in due stabili diversi; pagando 20€ abbiamo ricevuto due stanze vicine.

Breakfast was great and we could watch the river while we ate.
Pros:

The location, breakfast, staff and room were all great. We have young kids and were able to pay a little extra for early check in and late check out which was amazing with the overnight train times.

Cons:

Nothing. We arrived right at the end of the tourist season and even though this location was in the midst of closing up, everyone was very helpful and accommodating.
