"Excellent shared facilities - fully equipped kitchen and spotless shower rooms."
"The bathrooms were in the corridor and was shared between several rooms but we did not see anyone or have to wait even once."
"2km outside the city center and was probably the best accommodation to see the Northern lights."

The rooms are compact, the shared bathrooms surprisingly well-kept, and the restaurant serves seriously good food, including their famous burgers. I especially appreciate the 24/7 availability of tea and coffee; those small touches count.”
