There isn't one thing about the property that I can complain about. It was amazing! Loved having tea and coffee available anytime. Staff even helped me return a ring I left behind. They are amazing! Stay here! It is worth the money!

A basic hotel room with separate bathroom. No fridge which is typical in Scandinavia. I say it is a basic 3 star hotel with excellent staff. The restaurant Polfareren has some amazing dishes. Make sure you try the snow crab bisque it is truly amazing and delicious.
