Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the rooms were clean and well-sized with different layouts to choose from, they felt a bit dated and the space was only just enough for the bed, making it a bit cramped. The service was good overall, with attentive housekeeping and a nice welcome drink, but I found some aspects not up to par with my expectations. The location was lovely, especially being close to nature with rabbits hopping around, and the possibility to catch breathtaking views of the Northern Lights due to the lack of city lights. However, the surroundings were a bit remote, and there were limited attractions nearby. The dining was a pleasant surprise with a variety of choices, including vegetarian and vegan options, but I found some inconsistencies in the quality. The facilities were decent, although I wished for a bit more modern touch here and there.
If you're traveling with a car, this hotel is great with small but nice rooms that are of ample size and quite clean. However, the rooms are very small for the price paid.
