Modern, impressive building - looks like a James Bond villains lair. The staff are friendly and welcoming. Excellent breakfast with lots of different options. The beds were very comfortable and the bedding was good quality. No milk was provided in the room for teas and coffee.

Absolutely fantastic. The views from the property were stunning, and that's not even considering the northern lights, which we were lucky enough to see as well. The property is well-maintained, comfortable, aesthetically pleasing. Wish we were still there :)

오로라 보기 좋은 초텔

호텔 전체적인 컨디션은 좋았습니다. 1층은 공용화장실 때문인가 공굑공건에서 냄새가 나서 조금 별로 였어요. 직원분들은 친절하고 조식은 물로 저녁 식사도 매우 좋았습니다. 호텔 외에 다른 불빛이 없어 밤에.오로라 보기 좋았습니다.
