Mountain View Hotels in Murmansk

"The location is good; there's a bus stop not far from the entrance with direct buses to the airport, and a supermarket nearby. The room was fairly clean."

"The hotel's location is a bit out of the way, right under a huge, tall chimney that's constantly belching white smoke—it must be a power plant. Opening the window immediately revealed a strong smell of gasoline exhaust or burning soot. When I booked, they probably only had the twin room left. The bed felt too narrow for a European build; I almost fell off several times in the middle of the night. It was freezing outside, but the room was warm thanks to wall-mounted heaters. The room was also very clean. The overall interior had a distinctly Scandinavian feel—simple and bright. The front desk staff changed daily, all handsome men and beautiful women 😁😁😁 and very friendly. Some didn't speak English well, but they helped me find addresses of popular restaurants and gave me directions, using translation apps to communicate. They were available 24 hours a day. The breakfast was different every day, but the all-Western style might not be very appealing to Chinese people. One look is enough to make you feel full 😁😁 But their main customers are probably over 99% locals, so it's hard to say anything. The hotel is quite nice; it would be a good choice for those who like or enjoy the Nordic style. However, personally, I think next time we might choose a chain or standardized hotel, which would better suit our preferences."
