Great location, lovely sauna, helpful staff and saw the Northern Lights a short walk away
Pros:

The location of this hotel was excellent - right across the road from the bus stop and across from the river where I was able to see the Northern Lights - a bit muted because of city lights but a clear view nonetheless. I had seen them previously up north but it was great to see them again. The room was compact but had everything I needed. The hotel sauna was excellent and I could have spent much more time there. Breakfast was good and started early which was great as I had to leave to catch a plane.

Cons:

There is nothing I did not like.

Wir waren sehr zufrieden
Pros:

Das Hotel ist sauber und gepflegt, das Zimmer war komfortabel, sauber und mit einem bequemen Bett ausgestattet. Das Bad sah neu aus und war gut ausgestattet. Das Frühstück war reichhaltig. Das Restaurant ist wirklich zu empfehlen.

Cons:

Einzig beim Frühstück fehlte jede Art von dunklem Brot. Nur helles oder süßes Gebäck wurde angeboten. Schade, denn sonst war alles sehr abwechslungsreich.

Pros:

Hotellin saunaa tuli käytettyä molempina iltoina. Oli viihtyisä ja myös mieheni ja lapsenlapseni 5 v tykkäsi kovasti. Huone oli siisti ja sopivan kokoinen. Aamupala erinomainen. Tulemme varmasti uudelleen. Sijainti myös hyvä.
Revontuli valot seinällä oli kivat myös.

Cons:

Hotellin parkkihalliin ei meidän hieman korkeampi auto mahtunut, mutta onneksi takapihalla oli tilaa.

Oikein hyvä, hinta/laatu suhde ok
Pros:

Aamiainen oli hyvä, henkilökunta oli ystävällinen ja avulias ja huoneet olivat kaikin puolin ok.

Cons:

Hotellilla oli vaikeuksia löytää booking.com kautta tekemäni varaus mutta tämä ei tietenkään ole hotellin vika, mutta jokin epäselvyys varauksessa oli. Olin tehnyt varauksen booking.com kautta noin ehkä 4kk etukäteen. Varaus kuitenkin löytyi ja saimme huoneet, tosin sängyt olivat toisessa huoneessa hieman eri "setup" kuin booking varauksessani mutta se ei aiheuttanut minkäänlaista käytännön ongelmaa. Kahden vuoteen sijaan oli parivuode.
