A nice sized room, friendly, professional staff, a delicious dinner at the on-site restaurant and a fabulous breakfast buffet after a great night's sleep. The area is a little blah, not much too do, but the hotel was a happy surprise.

This hotel was a clean, warm choice for our one-night stop. Our flight arrived at 8.30pm, so the 9pm restaurant closing time was a little tight (and other dining options were limited), but thankfully the helpful staff were able to squeeze in a meal for us at the last-minute.

Comfortable room with a lovely bath and a substantial breakfast spread included in the price. Easy viewing of the northern lights from the window also sealed the deal. The food in the restaurant was also very good. Particularly the fish.

As a family room, the room is very small. It’s a double room size with two foldable beds from the wall. Otherwise the beds are comfortable.

This is Scandic. The rooms are not fancy but they are clean and comfortable. The breakfast is excellent. We had a standard twin room which had a kettle and tea/coffee making supplies which we very much appreciated.
