Great place to stay except the breakfast arrangement. I droppet the breakfast the second day, didn`t want to stay in a queue for 25 minutes.

Uncomfortable stay
Although it was too hot at night, there were no fans to borrow and not possible to open the window so difficult to sleep at night
Srikkanth, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Spacious for solo traveler, but not very clean
Stayed in Studio with Sauna. The room was spacious enough for solo traveler, and a small kitchen was available which was good. Sauna worked well. But the building was quite old, and the bedroom was a bit cold when sleeping. Looked not very clean, and there was some uncomfortable smell at shower room.

Ala-arvoinen majoitus
Standard-huone ostettu etukäteen netissä. Paikanpäällä selvisi että kyse on economy luokan huoneesta kaikkein kauimmassa parakkirakennuksessa. Kylpyhuone täysin ala-arvoinen. Parkkipaikkoja ei ole, autot jalkakäytävillä ja nurmikoilla. Ei hissiä. Huone kellaritiloissa, betoniseinät ja pieni ikkuna katonrajassa. Reklamoitu hotellille heti saavuttaessa, ei muutosta.

Ainoa miinus oli huoneessa koko yön puhaltava ilma lämmitys (lattiasta tuleva puhallus ,oli aika kovalla 🤔 ei muuta vikaa 😁

ロバニエミから長距離バスで到着、次の日も同じバスに乗ってロバニエミに戻るので目の前がバス停で便利だった。いくつかの棟があって私たちのお部屋と朝食会場はチェックインの建物とは違い徒歩3分ほどのところだった。ホテルの周りには何もないが10分ほど歩くと街の中心地へ。立地は悪くないと思う。

En olisi uskonut että standard huoneet voi olla vielä tuollaisia opiskelija kämppiä. Äänet kuuluu läpi huoneistojen, sängyt ja petivaatteet tyynyineen ysäri vuosilta, aamupala kasattu halvimmista raaka-aineista.

Matkalla pohjoiseen
Pitkän matkan jälkeen täysin siivoamaton huone oli ikävä yllätys, mikä tosin vaihtamalla parani. Huone oli helteistä kuuma kuin pätsi. Aamiainen oli erinomainen, eräs parhaista Suomessa.
