Acceptable, but some issues
acceptable locationsmall roombad pipes
The location was acceptable for getting around, I guess.
The room was small, I could barely open my suitcase! The bathroom smelled bad. I think there was something wrong with the pipes. It was not a pleasant experience.

I found the location convenient. Many restaurants and shops were nearby. The view of the church added a special touch. Beds were comfortable, and the rooms maintained a cozy warmth. Staff members were helpful when I needed to book a Northern Lights tour.
The throw pillows lacked cases, raising minor concerns about cleanliness.
