the breakfast buffet was fine (it had enough variety).
The bathroom was tiny and pretty basic. There was very little space to put anything. the 'spa' is just a tepid sauna and a simple hot pool, nothing special.

The outdoor geothermic pool was especially romantic. I was so lucky. I witnessed the most beautiful aurora display while relaxing there for hours. One of the hotel staff members kindly helped me with my car. He assisted me with driving out of its snowy parking space when I was leaving.
The corridors lacked lighting. The minibar was empty . The wallpaper started to fall off of the walls too
