It was clean and spacious enough for my 3 friends and I to be comfortable. Everyone I spoke to were friendly. It was easy to walk from there to almost anywhere we went for those few days. I’d definitely recommend this hostel.

Affordable, safe, comfortable stay
It was comfortable and the woman in reception was super helpful in steering us toward the best places to see northern lights, which natural areas to visit, etc. It wasn’t really walkable to anything, so I think in the future I’d stay somewhere more central. Compared to other hostels, the bathrooms weren’t as convenient on the 1st floor, but the kitchen was spacious and clean and overall a good experience

Quiet and comfortable
We had an en-suit twin room, it was warm and quiet. It was easy to park at the back of the hostel and the hostel has a well equipped kitchen and communal space. Breakfast was included, but it was provided at a bakery about a 10 min walk from the hostel. This hostel is not very central, so it is a fair walk into the city centre.

Convenient location for driving. Plenty of parking. Walkable distanced to the city centre, the city is small enough to walk everywhere so the location was great. The en suite room was very pleasant and felt more like a hotel than a hostel for our stay. Breakfast included at the local bakery was excellent.
