Hotels With breakfast in Murmansk Oblast, Russia

There are two beds in one room, a bit like a bed with a desk underneath. There is a small window on the second floor. It is great to see the snow. The room is small but clean. You need to go to the front desk to get your toothbrush and slippers. There are none in the room. The front desk can handle the residence permit. The hotel Wi-Fi Chinese number cannot connect. This is really annoying. The water quality in Murmansk is very poor. Bring a few more tissues to filter it. The bathroom has a bathtub! There are two convenience stores and a fried ** across the street. The bus stop is right at the door. It is very convenient. Take the bus from the airport to the nearby bus stop and walk about one kilometer. McDonald's, the train station, and Lenin can all be reached by bus for 50 rubles. Alyosha is a little far away. Take the bus to the halfway point of the mountain and climb up.

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.

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 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.

The hotel was excellent; I saw the aurora borealis both nights I stayed. I was worried I wouldn't see it when I first landed, so I paid a hefty price to hire a astronaut to chase it. But after we returned, the aurora display at the hotel was spectacular, even bigger than when we went elsewhere, and the photos turned out amazing. Staying at the hotel is definitely the way to go for aurora chasing; it saves you the money of hiring an astronaut and allows you to enjoy the beautiful scenery instead! Plus, the internet was great, the facilities were complete, the environment was lovely, and the receptionist was both beautiful and patient. Highly recommended!

The hotel's facilities are pretty average, honestly, on par with a basic guesthouse back home. The room is tiny; once you lay out two 28-inch suitcases, there's practically no space left to move around. On the bright side, the location is excellent. Turn left when you leave, and you're right at the northernmost McDonald's, mostly filled with fellow travelers. Next to the supermarket, on the first basement floor, there's a rather large 24-hour hypermarket with a great selection of items, perfect for browsing. Overall, don't set your expectations too high for accommodations in this city. As for hotel options in this small town of Murmansk, this place is definitely top-tier.

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.
