Amazing hotel! Big plus for breakfast, it was absolutely one of the best we've eaten in Finland. Thank you for big variations of vegan and gluten-free options.

Take some time to drive from city centre but environment is good. Staff here are super nice and helpful. There’s no elevator if room is above 1/F.

We stayed in the 3 bed apartment which was amazing, located just 100m or so from the main hotel. It was well furnished with everything you could possibly need with the bonus of your own private sauna. The food was buffet style and even with 2 children with multiple allergies (milk,soya,oats) the staff went out their way to cook anything if there was nothing or limited things for them to make sure they were included. The staff were very accommodating, polite and friendly. We would love to return and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone.

Not what I expected.

Unfortunately I didn't read the reviews more thoroughly. I relied only on the scores alone. A big mistake! Location in itself was not a problem, it's about 20 minutes from city centre but surroundings are beautiful and peaceful. Service is good, but the hotel itself was less than perfect. First and foremost there is NO elevator, soI had to carry a 20 kilo suitcase up to the third floor. Be aware that the hotel is not suitable for people with mobility difficulties as all access is by stairs, including to the breakfast room. Rooms are clean, but the are pretty simple, not soundproof and there is not even a place to put suitcases on. Breakfast is so so but if you want to eat make sure you get there early. At 9:45 and there was no coffee left and no refill, even though breakfast was supposed to be until 10am.

Poissa kaupungin sykkeestä

Paikka mukavasti syrjässä, jos ei välitä keskustan sykkeestä. Kemijoki vieressä, jonne helteellä voi pulahtaa. Kiva paikka, mutta oma huone näillä hellekeleillä turkkasen kuuma, koska huoneessa ei ilmastointia. Sänky ja tyyny kaipaavat updatingia. Muutoin mukava paikka.

Ystävällinen palvelu, siistit huoneet, monipuolinen aamiainen, kiva oma uimaranta 😊 Kuuman päivän vuoksi olisi ollut mukavaa saada ikkuna auki yöksi tai ilmastointia merkittävästi kovemmalle. Hyvät sängyt kuitenkin takasivat mukavat yöunet.
