Upeat maisemat ja oikein hyvä nukkua, oma sauna. Huone oli oikein viihtyisä, cupsolo-keitin ja kaikki tarvittavat kuten kuivauskaappi. Pieni miinus, että huoneemme edessä parkkipaikka. Sekä palvelu voisi olla parempaa, johon kannattaisi panostaa. Pienet yksityiskohdat merkitsevät.

Aivan mahtava kokemus. Majoitus täydellinen, sänkyt muhkeat ja toimiva huoneisto. Ihana näköala ikkunasta. Ruoka maittavaa ja henkilökunta iloinen/ystävällinen. Suosittelen😃

I was staying in an Aurora cabin. Views were great and the room was clean and nicely decorated. I loved the bed! So comfortable to lay on when watching the stars. Food at the hotel restaurant was great. You should really try their carrot cake. Breakfast was well thought out as well. All the greatness aside there was few not so great things as well. First of all at the night time while I was laying in my super comfortable bed in the dark (so I could see every glimpse of possible northern lights) I could see my neighbors whole bed and them on it reflected to one of the ceiling windows when they had lights on. I'm glad that there wasn't any newlywed couple next door if you know what I mean. I don't know if this feature was only in my cabin but after the first night I made sure to change clothes in the bathroom at night time because there wasn't any type of curtain. Second thing that disturbed me was that the cleaners didn't know what "do not disturb" sign meant. I woke up from my nap for cleaner knocking at my door telling me that he didn't know what the sign means. After all it was nice experience to stay at this room by myself but I wouldn't come to this cabin for romantic trip with my partner.
