The top-floor rooms have skylights that offer stunning views of the long summer sunsets and sunrises -- though be sure the blinds close securely if you want to get any sleep during the White Nights.
Lonely Planet "The modern rooms are decorated in gold and green hues, and even though the furniture is fairly cheap, there’s plenty of space. Efficient English-speaking staff are on hand." Full review
