Best Arvidsjaur Hotels

Our first impression of this hotel was not great, when we checked in there were a lot of intoxicated people in the hallways and on the balconies of various rooms. However, our room was very nice and practical (a family room with a small kitchenette and balcony, tea and coffee, fridge, dishes) and the reception staff was very friendly. Later in the evening things had calmed down and were quiet. The hotel is a little older but was designed well with lots of different areas for gathering, which is good for families. We did not use the pool as the smell of chlorine was very strong and the cleaning seemed a little questionable in that area. The dinner restaurant across the street, Laponiakåtan, did not appeal at all (limited menu, price and atmosphere, tons of mosquitos outside). Luckily there is an ICA within a short walk so we could eat in our room. The breakfast buffet was horrible, most things were out and not replaced (45 minutes before it was due to end), very strange, inedible scrambled eggs, tables full of dirty dishes, no milk for coffee, spilled food everywhere. They are obviously very understaffed. We would stay here again, but would plan to eat dinner in our room and know to expect a very basic, small breakfast.
