The hotel was located in a stunning spot, perfect for viewing the Northern Lights with breathtaking sunrises and sunsets. The rooms, though requiring a short outdoor walk to access, were clean and offered beautiful views. The service was excellent overall, with staff going above and beyond to celebrate with us, but lacked a bit during check-in. The dining experience was delicious, offering a variety of options, although not included in the price. The hotel had great facilities to enjoy.

The room was compact, but cozy with a spectacular view, making it perfect for two adults and a teen. However, with no AC, it could get a bit warm at night. The European quilts were comfortable but might be too warm without separate top sheets.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms offered lovely views of the mountains and a bit of the sea, although they were basic in terms of decor. They were, however, very spacious and comfortable. The service was a mix of lacking variety in meal choices initially, but the staff eventually rectified this situation with professionalism and friendliness. The location was absolutely amazing, perfect for a relaxing getaway and easy exploration of the surrounding areas. As for dining, there was a decent selection, although some dishes were a bit overpriced. The facilities were sufficient for an enjoyable stay.

I found the hotel to be in a stunning remote location surrounded by breathtaking scenery, perfect for those who love nature. The rooms were cozy and had lovely bathrooms, though a bit shabby. The service was mixed - friendly but a bit cold at times, with a mistake on the bill. The dining options were not impressive, and a bit overpriced. However, the staff was welcoming and even helped with wake-up calls for the Northern Lights. Overall, it's a great place to enjoy the outdoors but could use some improvements in certain areas.

The hotel offers stunning views over the inlet from the rooms, which are simple yet very comfortable. The staff is friendly and accommodating, although there were some instances of unprofessional behavior. The location is absolutely worth it, set on the edge of the coast with breathtaking scenery. The dining options, while enjoyable, might not fully justify the cost of the stay. Overall, a mixed experience with great potential.
