Great location in the middle of the town - but hotel - our room at least (room no. 303) - was overdue for a refurbishing - small, dark and uninviting , especially the bathroom - fiber duvet and pillow of poor quality. Cleanliness in the room was as good as can be expected for a run down room - but the public areas could definitely use a good clean down - not up to the standard that we have experienced in other Scandic Hotels. The hotel was fully booked, so change of rooms was not possible. The staff came across as inexperienced and the hotel felt understaffed. Good breakfast as usual - but crowded and insufficient seating. All in all this stay was a disappointment - and not close to being money’s worth. If we hadn’t prepaid our stay - we would have looked for a different place to stay.
I just had the most memorable time here celebrating my 50th birthday! We stayed there from 10/26-10/30. we had a seahouse and it was amazing waking up to sea view every day. I went there to see the northern lights (and of course the amazing scenery) It was raining and it started to snow (first time of the season) while we stayed there. The weather wasn't ideal but it doesn't matter, we saw northern lights 3 nights out of the 4 nights we stayed in this hotel. I was worried not being able to see it because during the day it was snowing and raining, but as soon as the sky's cleared, even for just 30 minutes, northern lights was there. It was pretty incredible. We will be back for sure!! The location was unbeatable and the cabin was great! We just loved everything about it!
SSatanikFor a solo Traveller it’s a great stay, and particularly if you are travelling during the peak season.
The owners are the dearest people you’ll ever come across.
Bonus: You can book your Northern Lights chase with them.
Clean. Safe, location.
Has a great view from the mountains
Travel to city center is easy with good bus connections.
You might just want to make a note, if you being dropped late night during your chase at the city center, taxi or uber is the only option back (but easily available)
Over all stay as a solo traveller it’s a 10 on 10!
