Hotel Laki

The setting. The evening meal was good. Good service. Take away breakfast available. Best of the hotels we stayed in on our travels here.

The glass house on the roof needed refurbishing. The hotel needs a little money spent on it generally.

Roof top deck for watching the aurora. Staff who called you to notify you that the aurora was happening. Super friendly staff. A breakfast spread that provided a lot of options with excellent food, set in a nice dining room. It is out away from any light so excellent location for watching the aurora. Peaceful and quiet.

The pictures on booking.com are a bit deceiving as they emphasize the newer, higher end rooms. The hotel has an older portion that looks like it was built in the 1950s. Rooms are small, simply furnished, with older bathroom with a simple sink, a toilet and an older shower that you had to step up into (so could be hard for those with mobility issues). Hotel did not provide shampoo or conditioner, just single soap to apply for all purposes. There is a newer wing with larger more up to date furnishings. So if you want fancier be sure to book those rooms vs. the older portion of the hotel which was completely functional but very simple. Just make sure you know which of the two buildings you are going to book to manage your expectations.

The food was excellent both at dinner and at breakfast. The breakfast bar was broad, complete and very yummy.

I paid over $550 by booking.com When I checked in front desk girl gave room the end of the building which made for cheap group stay shade old room. I have to argue with the front desk girl I asked this is over $550 worth it? They changed room but they are not very good people in there to me. It’s very bad experience.
