Central Location With Nice Cosy Rooms

The hotel is at the central. There is a bus coming and taking people to the hotel and back to airport. The staff is friendly and helpful. Restaurants and shops are near.
Viktor, 5-night trip

Great hotel located in the center of town. Rooms are spacious but the hotel lacks ample seating for guests since they close the restaurant in between breakfast and dinner.

Welcome to Arctic dream

It was the perfect setting for a memorable trip
IAIA, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely stay! My mountain view was more of a view of the front entrance and parking with a tip of hill showing behind the building across the street. Not great, but super comfortable room and great tub! The local food was all delicious as well. I went to Kroa a couple times and the hotel restaurant as well but just for dinner. So good!

Modern comfort

Clean lines, modern, comfortable, quiet, well located in town at the end of the main pedestrian center, easy to reach by road but not on the road, airport public bus transfer. We loved our stay! Only down side was that, and this is with many hotels, you can not get it dark enough in the room.
P.B., 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It was great to stay here. The rooms were spacious and warm. They include breakfast (buffet style) that has hot and cold food, a variety of juices, hot coffee and tea; and plenty of options to pick from. The reception staff were professional and friendly; and very willing to help you. I would stay here again.
Michael, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We loved this hotel. The room was a great size and convenient to everything in town. The breakfast each morning was excellent. The only downside was we stayed during polar day and there were black out curtains on the big window only. The small window near the head of the bed let in quite a bit of light which made it harder to sleep.
Sarah, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

A well located comfortable property. Close to shops & bus transfer to airport. I just didn’t like being in the annexe building. They did help me with my luggage when asked.
