All you need
Pros:

We stayed here one night on our Lapland road trip. Location is great in city center, parking in hotel's garage (19 euros), very friendly front desk. Nice, clean and quiet room, excellent breakfast. All this for reasonable price. What else would you need?

Lovely stay. The breakfast is excellent
Pros:

An excellent hotel, I felt the value was exceptional. Maybe I got it at a good price but everything felt a paygrade higher! The room was super quiet, the beds comfortable and a great shower. Location spot on. Breakfast was excellent. Best hotel I have stayed in at this price range. Staff were good also.

Cons:

Nothing

Yksi vaihtoehto jatkossakin
Pros:

Kiva henkilökunta, lähellä keskustaa. Pysäköinti samassa talossa. Perustason hotellia parempi aamiaisineen.

Cons:

Ei mitään erityistä moitittavaa.

Pros:

Breakfast has a lot to offer, all standard items, but a lot of them. The breads are all fresh!
It is in a great location to walk to the center where there are a lot of travel/trip agencies that can arrange activities. LOTS of coffee shop places and restaurants.There is a small grocery store just several blocks away and another big one just a few block further.
The river is just a couple of blocks away as well and has a nice walking/running/biking track along it.
I was there during the midnight sun, and the black out curtains really black everything out!
Everyone at the front desk was friendly and helpful!
