Hotel 2-Star di Murmansk Oblast, Russia

It feels okay, it doesn't feel very big, but the bathroom, toilet microwave table, the room can live for two people, the environment is relatively quiet, the luggage can be stored for free, and I am very lucky to chase the aurora that night, that is, when I went to the suburbs, the clouds were too thick and I didn't see a big outbreak!

The environment was beautiful, and the cabin was warm. You could see the aurora right outside the door. However, the service was poor, and the facilities were quite old. 1. Check-in was slow and impatient. 2. The door lock was a European-style fixed key lock, making it difficult to open. Our room door had a problem. The room was far from the front desk. Since we didn't have a local phone while traveling, we had to ask our driver to call the front desk to get someone to come. They arrived in ten minutes, and it was very cold. 3. The water heater malfunctioned on the second night, so the shower was cold. Although we called a repairman, he couldn't fix it and said we had used up the water. We had just returned from chasing the aurora and no one had used it, so the water was cold. We made do for one night. 4. The front desk was far from our cabin, and there was no shuttle service. If you take a taxi, remember to ask the driver to wait at the door until check-in is complete and bring you and your luggage to your cabin. Otherwise, dragging your luggage is troublesome, and the road is difficult to walk on. We had a chartered car, so the driver waited a long time because of the front desk's slow pace. 5. The room had enough tableware. There was a microwave but no stove or induction cooker. We brought our own induction cooker and pots to cook hot pot and bought groceries for our two-day stay.

雖然是組合屋，稍微小，但住起來還算舒適。有整面的大玻璃，可以看戶外，晚上方便確認是否要走到戶外找極光。走路到市區或滑雪場的纜車站大約10-15分鐘。辦理入住是在下方一點的Sokroma Hyperborea酒店，酒店員工態度親切也很幫忙，也感謝介紹當地的優質極光獵人，順利在氣候條件不好的情況下追到極光。

I booked a triple room and a double room at this hotel, and all five of us gave it a very good review. Since we were just stopping over in Moore, it was a bit of a surprise that it was really good. The rooms were very spacious, the heating was great, and although there was a public shower room on the first floor, it was separate for men and women. The hot water supply was excellent, and we could take a hot shower anytime. The front desk service was also good. Most importantly, the kitchen was free to use, and the restaurant was very large. It was excellent value for money and I highly recommend it!

Murman and Asgard are right next to each other. If you're traveling as a couple, I'd recommend Asgard. A lot of our compatriots stay at Murman, and it's easy to join a spontaneous group for aurora chasing there, which is great. However, because Murman has so many guests, there's no hot water for showering around 9 PM, and the heating in the rooms and common areas isn't as good as Asgard's. The one upside for Murman is that it has an elevator. Overall, Murman is a decent layover spot in the Arctic Circle.

This hotel is quite unique, with its log cabins. It has heating, and the owner even provided two extra electric heaters, so staying warm isn't a problem at all. There are few cars at the airport, and taxis are hard to find. It's much easier to take a bus to the city's train station and then take a taxi to the hotel.

The room was quite large and clean. After taking the bus to Nysva-Djeri, there's still a bit of walking involved, so be prepared to drag your luggage through the snow! If you're bringing large luggage and planning to go to Old Djeri, I strongly advise against staying here; although the hotel environment is nice, it lacks many amenities. Staying in Old Djeri is very convenient; you can see the Northern Lights, and most of the major tourist attractions are located there. It's difficult to get a taxi from Nysva-Djeri to Old Djeri; it's a long walk. If you have the stamina, then disregard this advice. The hotel reception needs to help you call a taxi; we called an 8-seater for 1500 rubles, and there was an extra charge for luggage. Also, if you're staying consecutively and changing rooms, be aware that some guests were required to check out on time and had to wait outside for three hours before checking into their new room for the same day; they couldn't have it cleaned in advance (for consecutive stays).

The four of us traveled, just one room, the room is not big, but the public place is very large, you can buy food and cook by yourself, the overall price is very high, all young people live, can chat, carpool to see the aurora, the only thing that is not so good is that the shower water is hot and cold, there is no hot water later. The location is also very good, there is a bus directly to the airport at the door.

Супер место с медицинскими услугами, бассейном, спа! При заселении дали ваучеры на кислородный коктейль и кофе. В стоимость входил вкусный завтрак по системе ”шведский стол” и живой музыкой, в исполнении девушки, играющей на фортепиано. В отеле имеется тренажерный зал, есть книги, настольный футбол. На территории отеля играет музыка, есть скамеечки, где можно посидеть. Рекомендую данный отель!

If you check out early in the morning and need a proof of accommodation, it's best to ask the staff at check-in if you can get it earlier. The front desk staff sleeps late and gets up late, so you might not be able to find anyone. There's a kitchen in the common area where you can cook your own meals, which is very convenient. Overall, the cleanliness is good.
