Reviews and Ratings
I loved my stay at the hotel. The rooms were cozy and clean, but they looked smaller than in the photos. The service was excellent, with kind and smiling staff, even though they couldn't accommodate our late check-out request. The location was perfect, especially for visiting Santa's village nearby. The dining options were good, offering a variety of dishes. The facilities were pleasant overall.
The hotel's location is perfect, just a few minutes away from the main square and near the river, offering astonishing views. The rooms are of good size with basic decoration and convenient amenities. The service was decent, although staff seemed to prefer chatting among themselves. The dining options were rich and catered to all tastes. The facilities were satisfactory with some room for improvement in guest service.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel! The rooms were clean with a nice touch of 'northern lights' LED lighting and very comfortable, plus the breakfast had a large variety of foods. The service was top-notch, with a very friendly and helpful staff. The location was just perfect for exploring the area, and the dining experience was great. My only minor issue was with the price compared to the value for money.
The hotel is ideally located near the center and offers a cozy stay with nicely decorated, functional rooms. The service is incredibly friendly, but there is a preference for chatting among staff. The dining options are satisfactory with some local specialties. The hotel's facilities are good overall.
The hotel had warm and clean rooms, though they seemed smaller in reality compared to pictures. The service was very friendly and reasonably priced, with staff going above and beyond to assist guests. The location was extremely good, central and near the river, with easy access to attractions and restaurants. The dining offered plenty of choices, but a sofa bed for a 10-year-old was too small. Despite a minor downside in the dining area, the hotel offers a great stay experience overall.
