Hotels With breakfast in 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 room was huge, and check-in was available 24 hours a day. The security guard downstairs even helped with directions and luggage, making the process very smooth. There's a school across the street, a clinic downstairs, and the 106 airport bus stop is less than a 5-minute walk away. The train station is about a 10-minute walk away, and there are plenty of restaurants, supermarkets, and banks nearby.

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.

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.

Excellent! It's a small but beautiful place, and the ladies who run it make amazing breakfast (they recommend the oatmeal every morning!). They provide free proof of residency, and it's just a short walk to a supermarket, pharmacy, and bus stops for the airport and city. Highly recommend!

The area right outside the hotel is currently under renovation, so to get to the McDonald's across the street or the plaza in front of Meridian, you have to walk all the way around. They gave me a free room upgrade, which was quite spacious. The TV swivels, so you can watch it from either the sofa or the bed. The bathroom and shower are L-shaped. I didn't get a chance to use the other facilities. I asked the staff to help me connect to the Wi-Fi during check-in.

An excellent hotel in the city center. The rooms are small, with options for rooms with private showers and shared bathrooms. We booked a room with a private shower but stayed in the shared one—it was very clean and pleasant. There's a large kitchenette, tea and coffee are available at all times, and you can store your groceries in the shared fridge. I recommend any room type.

When we arrived, our cabin wasn't ready and it was completely cold, which was a shame because the location was really cool. Thanks for moving us to another cabin, where the heating was turned on. It took about an hour for it to get somewhat warm, but the cabins are still cold. I don't know how anyone could stay here in really freezing temperatures. Bring warm long johns! We almost constantly had the AC on for heat, but turned it off at night because it was noisy, and we froze terribly by morning. It's important to note that condensation forms on the ceiling and constantly drips on you, which isn't great either. But! The bathroom with the sauna is very nice, and there's an outdoor hot tub. The administrator helped as much as she could, many thanks to her! Excellent breakfasts and dinners.

The hotel reception offers Chinese-speaking staff, and while the standard rooms aren't huge, the location is fantastic. There's a direct bus to the airport, and it's close to many attractions. Plus, there's a McDonald's (a favorite among Chinese travelers!) and a bar and restaurant nearby, making everything super convenient!

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.
