Hotel 2-Star di Murmansk Oblast, Russia

There are two beds in one room, a bit like a bed with a desk underneath. There is a small window on the second floor. It is great to see the snow. The room is small but clean. You need to go to the front desk to get your toothbrush and slippers. There are none in the room. The front desk can handle the residence permit. The hotel Wi-Fi Chinese number cannot connect. This is really annoying. The water quality in Murmansk is very poor. Bring a few more tissues to filter it. The bathroom has a bathtub! There are two convenience stores and a fried ** across the street. The bus stop is right at the door. It is very convenient. Take the bus from the airport to the nearby bus stop and walk about one kilometer. McDonald's, the train station, and Lenin can all be reached by bus for 50 rubles. Alyosha is a little far away. Take the bus to the halfway point of the mountain and climb up.

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。

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 platinum lights of the yacht have pierced the twilight when the blue Marmara sea is soaked. The moment of boarding, the salty sea breeze mixed with the sweetness of the champagne bubble, rolled the fragrance of the white grapes on the deck, the white grapes hanging next to the ice bucket, the peel wrapped in fine ice crystals, like just picked from the star. The yacht was wider than expected, the teak deck was warmer, the bar stood behind rows of bottles, and the amber whiskey swung in the light. The waiter shuttled on a silver plate, the grilled lobster tails were covered with lemon slices, and the oily duck's oily fragrance spread across the cabin. Find a window seat, just bite a white grape, sweet and sour juice in the tongue in the moment of bursting, the violin sound will overflow. The piano teacher pulled the ”love praise” in the corner, the gentleness of the bow strings rubbing, just in time to close with the rhythm of the waves beating the hull. The couple in the next seat touched a cup, the crystal cup collided with the crisp sound, and the sound of the piano fell into the water. Suddenly a drum burst open, the woman in the red dance skirt swirled to the center, the hips swinging violently with the darbuka drum, the silver jingle, the skirt swung out of the fire-like arc. People who were still immersed in the violins were clapping their hands and shouting, and even the waiter could not help shaking his shoulders. The belly dance frenzy had not yet faded, and the waiter had brought dessert. When the chocolate lava cake was cut, the heart was like a thick night, and the refreshing white grapes were swallowed up, like a summer night. Turning your head outside the window, the lights on both sides of the bank have become a flowing river. I can't tell whether it is the minarets of Istanbul or the villages on the Asian shore. I remember that countless lights were soaked in the water and were rubbed into broken gold by the ripple waves. The boat passed, the tail shattered a starfish light, and was slowly smoothed by the waves. I couldn't remember how much wine I had drunk. When I left, the piano master changed his tune, and the belly dancers laughed and the sea breeze was entangled. Half a bunch of white grapes were still in his hand, and the cold peel was on the palm. Looking back, the yacht's lights shrunk a little behind, like stars left on the sea, and the lights on both sides of the Straits are still continuous, obviously extinguished, like who has just the violin sound, drums and laughter, all stringed into a string of lights, hanging in the sky. Some nights do not need to be remembered. Just like the waves of the Marmara Sea, the Badger is responsible for shaking all the good into a halo, leaving the sweetness of white grapes on the tip of the tongue, and the unfinished piano sound in the ear.

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).

It's close to the bus stop, and there are lots of Chinese people there. I love it! It's great value for money.

Everything was great. Recommended. Original style, nice staff, good location.

I booked a triple room and a double room at this hotel. Five people commented very well. Because Moore was transferred, it was a bit unexpected. The room was large and the heating was very good. Although the hot water bath was going to the public bathroom on the first floor, the men and women were separated. The hot water supply was very good. You can take a hot bath anytime, anywhere, the front desk service is also good, the key kitchen is casual, a large restaurant, cost-effective, recommended!
