Good value, good location
Pros:

We walked from the Tornio/Haparanda bus station to hostel, easy 20min walk. Couple of restaurants near hostel. 15min walk to Haparanda train station. Train station is a beautiful historic structure. Hostel good value for overnight stay if you have a train heading south or bus north.

Cons:

All good

Bra om du slipper bo på samma korridor som ……..
Pros:

Okej

Cons:

Jag tror det bor sociala missanpassade personer här som inte ens klarar av att slå på köksfläkten och inte förstår vilka tider det ska vara tyst 😭

Kelpo paikka pelkkään yöpymiseen matkan varrella.
Pros:

Huone oli siisti perushuone, sijainti rauhallinen. Bussipysäkki on aivan talon edessä.

Cons:

Vastaanotto ei ollut avoinna saapuessani eikä aamulla, ja varauksen perusteella oli hieman epäselvää, kuuluiko huoneeseen aamiainen vai ei (aamiaisravintola oli kyllä kiinni, joten ei ilmeisesti kuulunut).

Pros:

Majoituin nyt eri huoneessa, missä tavallisesti olen ollut. Tässä huoneessa oli huono sänky. Vakihuoneessani on todella hyvä sänky.
