Spacious room, comfortable bed, good shower pressure. European locking door had us a bit confused, but no problem once we got shown lol. Decent pizza place nearby, but mostly fast food otherwise. Has a small kitchen area with a microwave.

There were some things I really liked about this hotel: nice breakfast, clean and simple rooms, nice walking path nearby. My primary complaint is that we went in late May, and it doesn’t actually get dark that time of year, and the black out curtains didn’t reach the edges of the very large windows, so it was incredibly bright in our room. Our young children were up till 1 am and up for the day at 6. It was awful. I think I would have enjoyed the stay much more during a different time of year.

This property is clean and good value for money BUT we stayed in Room 1 which is next to the outdoor bar seating. (The hotel and bar are combined) We had gone to bed early to have an early start the next day but it was SO LOUD as bar patrons were screaming and chanting and singing, also this outdoor area is the smoking area and we could smell the cigarettes. Room 1 really shouldn't be used for guests when the outdoor space is open. Maybe if you get a room farther away you wouldn't hear the bar noise.

A good location near the city but away from the noise and lights. The view from our windows were great. The best thing though is the people! Anna had lots of friendly advice and helpful suggestions and Birita was lovely. The owner also introduced himself.

Cozy and comfortable room. Location is within walking distance (10 minutes) of various places to eat and a grocery store. Does not have hairdryer and conditioner. The horse farm is about 10 minutes drive; highly recommend. The breakfast is ok but convenient (no bacon, no scrambled eggs; grill 66 has that and is 10-12 minutes walk). I would stay here again.

Everything is perfect, except we couldn’t get the mountain view and couldn’t see the northern light due to the weather! Apart from that, it was perfect, only 30 mins from the city by car, I will definitely recommend this hotel.

Amazing place

Our stay at this hotel over New year was nothing but a pleasure, from the minute we stepped into the hotel to the minute we left we were always welcomed. We even seen the northern lights on NYE! Breakfast was lovely and the family room we had was big and spacious. Nothing was too much trouble. The hotel has lots of places to get food within a 2 minute walk along with 2 supermarkets. We will definitely be back 😊
