Il paesaggio che circonda l'hotel è magico. La camera spaziosa e con una bellissima vista, la colazione super, la sauna e l'idromassaggio esterno un gradito plus.

Sehr freundliches Personal. Ich konnte bereits früher einchecken, da ich direkt vom Bear Watching kam. Auch als Alleinreisende fühlt man sich hier sehr wohl.

Die Ausstattung ist schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen.

Our favorite hotel in Northern Finland!
Pros:

Sitting on the terrace in the morning, enjoying the view on the lake and the fantastic breakfast, watching the birds, The nice and comfortable rooms. The friendly and helpful staff.

Cons:

The parking situation: It was sometimes difficult to find parking when we came home late.
The cleaning: We did not get the information that cleaning is only available upon request and early notice which makes sense but should get communicated clearly. When we eventually arranged cleaning it was a bit below standard.

Ravintolassa hidas palvelu, koska ainoastaan yksi työntekijä, joka vastasi myös vastaanoyosta.

Miellyttävä atmosfääri
Pros:

Sijainti huippua järven rannalla, saunatilat viihtyisät. Mukava henkilökunts

Cons:

Ilmastointi huoneissa ei toimi. Tukalaa kesällä. Huoneita pitäisi päivittää, piristää. Yksityistilaisuus rajoitti liikaa oleilua. (Iltaruokailun suhteen). Saunalta kulkua uimaan voisi helpottaa ettei hiekka kulkeidu mukana.
Huoneessa kun kerran on kahvinkeittotarpeet niin katsottaisiin että tarpeet myös ovat.
