River Motel - Selfservice Check in - Book a Room, Make Payment, Get Pincode to the Room

We were very disappointed about the cleanliness of the motel. The floor was dirty, and the refrigerator smelled like old beer. Furthermore the bathroom smelled very bad, and visibly poor cleaning. In general the motel was overall dirty.

Spent 1 night in the River Motell & Vandrarhem in March and it wasn't the first time - and hopefully not the last. I had a nice single room with own toilet and shower, which was perfect. I had been staying in other rooms with shared bathroom before, several times, both summer and winter/spring. Contactless check-in was perfect, free wifi worked fine. I didn't use much of the common kitchen this time, but had used it before., it's big and comfortable. The motel/hostel is situated by the river and only a few hundred meters from the bus station at the Finnish border. Train station is also a few hundred meters, in the other direction. Supermarkets within walking distance. Calm in the night.
