Reviews
We didn’t hear our neighbors at all during our stay! The rooms were very quiet. There was plenty of space for us and we felt safe the entire stay.
the rooms were fine and pretty small. the walls were thin so we could hear everyone in the next rooms and the hallway. the “lobby” and the shared bathroom smelled very stale but the room was fine. beds were comfortable! for some reason locking and unlocking the door was very difficult, we kept turning the key around for a long time.
This is an excellent spot for watching the Northern Lights – we were lucky enough to see them during our stay! The owner is very friendly and welcoming, which made our experience even better. Highly recommended!
