We really enjoyed our stay at the hotel. The breakfast was excellent and the rooms are very nice. The floor heating in the bathroom is a great solution and it's so comfortable when you step out of the shower. It also helps efficiently dry wet clothes. The staff is super nice, we had everything we needed.

We booked a standard room which was in a separate building so we had to walk outside if we wanted to get drinking water or breakfast. Our friend also booked a standard room which was in the main building so it seems like you have to get lucky at check-in. Our room was worn down, the wifi was cutting out because of poor connection and the TV had only one channel. In the hotel none of the staff were friendly nor welcoming but the man with a mustache at the reception was straight on rude several times when I interacted with him. All in all probably there are better places to stay at on this Arctic town.
