Stayed 2 nights. Room was comfortable and it was a very quiet area which we liked. You do have to walk/taxi it to here from the main Santa Claus hotel where you check in. Taxi was easier for us since it was snowing and we had luggages. No complaints. Walking to and from the main shopping area was okay, if you have mobility issues it might not be the best place to stay, but other than that it’s a good place to stay!

I’m satisfied with my stay at Sant’s Rudolf hotel. The only thing I wish that the check-in not separate buildings. It’s hard if you have multiple luggages especially when the snow is thick. I’m glad that I read before and even messaged the property. I appreciated my taxi driver for being patient and waited for me to check-in and dropped me off to my actual hotel. Other than that, I slept good. I felt safe. The placed closed to bus station, restaurants and shopping center.

Arrived at Santa’s hotel then have to walk approximately 700 meters up to the hotel. It looks like old office rooms or a hostel that has been converted into a hotel. The room was clean but very small no food or drink available at this hotel apart from a vending machine. I will say though that the room was very clean. Ok for backpackers but unfortunately not for us.

No room service until I asked for it. I stayed 7 nights and they made the room once. The room was not comfortable as it looks on the website.

10 min walk to the main city area + check in

The room was quite small and the location wasn’t as convenient especially when it’s snowing. It’s like a 10 min walk to the check in hotel. But they do let you store luggage are the check in spot and let me check in early once the room was ready, which was nice!

Only basic stuff are available in this hotel and it needs to walk across a few streets from the city centre. However, given it is cheaper than other hotels in the city centre, it is still good overall.

Definitely not 2.5 Star rating as advertised by Expedia. More likely a1Star. Room Tiny. Beds more like camp beds. A youth hostel for sure. Bathroom outdated and grimy. Could not bring myself to use shower; it was disgusting.
