    Failed the expectations miserably. Didn't worth the money.

    I must admit that I expected a lot from the price we pay to stay here but it failed miserably to meet our expectations. The weather was bad, snowy, windy, and freezing cold. No one cleaned the balcony so there were piles of snow which means that I can't open the balcony, and it wasn't closed properly though I tried very hard. There's a small gap where the win could leak in the room which made my room very cold. You can't play around much with the heather either so if you talk about this hotel, my impression would be that it was freezing. The stairs to the second floor are tiny, easy to miss a step. Be prepared, and be careful. There's a parking lot in front of the reception but your cabin is likely to be far away with no help from any hotel staff to get your luggage to the room. You only have to carry and drag it through thick snow to reach your room.

    The room was clean and up to a standard. The receptionist was friendly. Good selection of breakfast.

    Rooms could be much better. Location is the only real luxury.

    The room was not deeply cleaned: hair between the fold-out sofa mattresses, kitchen utensils and accessories had food marks and finger prints (glassware) on them. The shower temperature is locked to not go beyond a mild-hot temperature, so you cannot take a hot shower if you need it. The shower pipes would shriek/make very loud and uncomfortable sounds when water pressure would increase, even slightly. Also, considering the price for rooms here, we expected nice premium toiletries (such as hand lotion) and extra towels. There were neither. The minibar was stocked with barely any food snacks (only a small pack of nuts). The main bed mattress/bedframe was awful. We are normal-slim size adults and the bed was sinking when we layed down due to poor boxspring/frame. There was no real mattress - only an ikea-style thick down filled cushion to sleep on. Finally, breakfast food was quite uninspired and essentiallly the same every day. Overall we were a bit disappointed that the value for money was not there. You pay a high price for very basic accommodations.

    The location was very good, close to the town and on the ski hill. Our activities were all nearby and barely spent on gas for our vehicle. Staff were all friendly, helpful and accommodating.

    Food was rather boring and often not very hot.

    Location is amazing for the view, but a bit far from town and ski centre to walk. Room was nice but stairs are dangerous and a sofa bed is not ideal. Staff were lovely and helpful. The food was fine but rather samey and never very hot. Needs more seating by the bar/fire (which was not on?!)

    I loved everything. And I plan to go back next year .

    The property was located on a hill above the city centre . The staff were super welcoming and very helpful. We did the Aurora chasing on snowmobile and we got to see plenty of activity . The ride through the Arctic forest was surreal .

    All good, but towards December there are apparently many (British) group travelers around, also in the hotel. large groups take away some of the cozy feeling you would normally enjoy in this kind of remote place.

    Food, Location, activities, friendly guides and staff
