    Nice, warm hostel. It was raining outside, windy and cold. The hostel was cozy and warm. There is a kitchen with everything you need. A dining room where you can leisurely eat and socialize. Our room was ready in advance and we settled in straight away. Thank you.

    The hostel is located within beautiful scenery. The beds and duvets are super comfortable and the fact that one gets two pillows is amazing haha. The bathrooms are really nice as well, as they’ve been redone recently. The hostel also offered oat milk as an alternative with a booked breakfast, which was a lovely surprise!

    Quite spacious room for four. Beds were pretty good for a youth hostel. The shared bathrooms were little rooms with a shower, toilet and sink and they were clean. The people at the reception were very welcoming and helpful. Good parking space right next to the youth hostel. Location is great for visiting the reindeer centre and the surrounding area.
