Excellent value for money. The room (single room with own bathroom) was cozy, quiet and clean. The bed was comfortable, and in the room there was a heater that you could adjust, which was really nice on colder days. The common kitchen was well equipped and clean. Check-in was easy and the staff super helpful. All in all a lovely stay, would definitely recommend!

This is not a luxury accommodation. But for the amount of money is great value. Rooms are clean and neat. Bathrooms clean. There is laundry available for very inexpensive amount (about $2 per load for both washer & dryer). Arne was our staff member taking care of us and he was great: extremely polite and professional, very well mannered and educated. We had great chats and he was very enlightening about Norway and Senja Island. We met other travelers who were also very nice and like-minded (profesional and family educated people into adventures and cultural travels, who were very friendly and enjoyed conversations). The location was convenient, and perfect road trip stop between Tromsø & Lofoten Islands.

Majoituspaikka oli mukava ja kotoisa. Kodinomainen pirtti takkoineen ja sohvineen oli viihtyisä. Huone oli siisti. Keittiössä olisi asiakkaiden siisteyden suhteen kyllä toivomisen varaa. Ruokailuvälineitä oli riittävästi, kokkausmahdollisuudet oli keittiössä kodinomaiset. Tulipaikat mtös ulkona viihtyisät. Henkilökuntaa ei tavattu vierailun aikana. Sisäänkirjaus ja huoneen luovutus hoituivat sähköpostin kautta. Kaikin puolin hyvä ja edullinen majoitus.

Hinta-laatusuhde kohdillaan. Sijainti erinomainen. Yhteiset keittiöt siistit ja oleskelutila viihtyisä. Omat kylpyhuoneet plussaa, mutta pieni miinus siitä, että suihkun lämpötilaa ei voi säätää itse.

Majapaikka oli viihtyisä. Se sijaitsi kauniilla paikalla vuonon rannalla, jossa oli kiva käydä lenkillä koiran kanssa. Siellä oli myös grillipaikka polttopuineen ja frisbeegolfrata. Henkilökunta oli todella ystävällistä ja avuliasta. Koimme olomme tervetulleiksi. Myöhään illalla sisäänkirjautuminen oli sujuvaa ja saimme etukäteen selkeät ohjeet Hotels:n kautta.

Hyvät vuoteet ja siisti huone. Suihku toimi ja veden lämpötila oli sopiva (vaikkei saanut säädettyä). Suihkun lattia oli kuitenkin nähnyt parhaat päivänsä ja kosteusvauriosta kielivät merkit olivat varsin ilmeiset. Yhteiskeittiö oli yllättävän siisti ja aamupalan laitto sujui siellä helposti. Edullinen hinta huomioiden emme odottaneet luksusta, paikka täytti hyvin tarpeemme ja olisimme voineet yöpyä pidempäänkin.
