The town is a really peaceful place and the The Nest is one of the few places to stay if your going. The Nest is really clean and have anything you need. The washing machine was a plus! The only thing was that the room was really hot and no way to cool it down.

This is a nice spot near the Arctic Circle. We only stayed for a night so we didn’t get to use any amenities but the washer which was free. The man at the front desk was very nice and had a cute puppy that he let us pet. Overall a nice experience.

Bei Check in standen wir vor verschlossener Türe. Konnte dann telefonisch jemanden erreichen. Zimmer ringhörig und die ganze Nacht hat ein Gast seinen Fernseher oder Radio auf voller Lautstärke laufen lassen.

여러명의 일행이 한층을 쓰기에 너무 좋은 구조였습니다 .좁긴했지만 독실이 있어 각자 들어가 쉴수있었고 ,무엇보다 주방과 거실이 너무 아늑하고 호스트분의 섬세한 손길이 느껴져 부족함 없이 함께 즐길수 있었습니다 . 방문이 잠겨 당황했는데 문도 바로 와서 고쳐주시고 ,질문이 많았음에도 한결같이 친절하게 도움을 주셔서 너무 너무 감사했습니다.
