Pros:

Yläkerran huoneisto oli viihtyisä.

Cons:

Mainoksista sai käsityksen että huone on juurikin ylähuoneisto. No ei ollut, ostin sen lisäksi. Aamupalassa parannettavaa. Kiuas ei lämmennyt jne..

Pros:

We had a wonderful stay! Our room was very spacious, the bed was really comfortable, and the bathroom was large, modern, and recently renovated. The breakfast was also excellent, with a generous selection and plenty of variety.

The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. We would especially like to thank Kirsi at reception, who went above and beyond to help us. We were preparing for our five-day hike on the Bear’s Trail (Karhunkierros), starting in Ruka, and needed gas canisters for our camping stove, which we couldn’t bring on the plane. Since we arrived after the shops had closed and planned to set off early the next morning, Kirsi kindly went to a shop and bought the canisters for us. This was an enormous help, and we are truly grateful for her kindness and thoughtfulness.

We highly recommend this hotel as a great place to stay before or after hiking the Bear’s Trail!

Pros:

Huone oli hyvä ja siisti.

Cons:

Aamupala oli aika niukka. Illalla ravintolassa järjestysmiesten käytöksessä toivomisen varaa. Ei puuttunut epäasiallisuuteen vaikka näki useasti tilanteen ja ilnoitettiinkin asiasta.

Hyvää perustason hotelliasumista rukakylän keskustassa.
Pros:

Tämä oli hyvää perustason hotellliyöpymistä. Huone oli siisti ja tilava. Pieni parvekekin oli. Hotellin sijaintihan on erinomainen scandikin vieressä rukakylän keskustassa. Hotellin alakerrassa on musiikki, ruoka drinkki ravintola. Musiikki on kotimaista iskelmää ja niin on hotellin fiiliskin, kansanomaista perushotellia. Ei niinkään desing kikkailua. Mutta ei mitään valittamista. Aamupala oli hyvää perustasoa. Tämä oli toinen kerta kuin yövyin, ja voisin yöpyä tulevaisuudessakin. Mp laitoin scandikin lipan alle, ja jos ei sinne kehtaa mp:tä laittaa, on hotellin liepeillä rauhallista tilaa.

Cons:

Joku voisi toivoa jonkinmoista keittiökalustoa huoneessa, mutta itse en tarvinnut, enkä kaivannut.
