Pros:

Sängyt hyvät, upea miljöö, hyvä aamiainen ja molemmissa saunoissa hyvät löylyt.

Cons:

Aamiaisen taso aavistuksen laskenut edellisestä vierailusta. Huoneessa turhan lämmin.

Kauniit puitteet majoittumiselle
Pros:

Kaunis paikka upealla paikalla. Ihana vanha talo, jossa majoitus. Sauna ja uima-allas kivoja.

Cons:

Henkilökunnan palvelualttiudessa on parantamisen varaa. Pienillä asioilla saisi niin paljon parempaa asiakaspalvelua esim. kahvilassa työntekijä tuntee tuotteet ja osaa kertoa niistä asiakkaille.

Pros:

Paikka on kaunis, terassi- ja allasalue mukavat. Huone oli siisti. Sängyt hyvät. Aamiainen oli myös riittävä.

Cons:

Huone oli todella kuuma vaikka ilmalämpöpumppu puhalsi kylmää. Ilma ei kulkeutunut makuuhuoneeseen. Meille sattui myös sateinen sää vierailulle, jolloin hotellissa ei ollut mitään tekemistä. Ravintolan sisätilat olivat aika ankeat. Kaikkia ruokia ei ollut saatavilla vaikka hotelli oli täynnä! Paikka oli pienoinen pettymys.

Pros:

Kaunis miljöö, tyylillä sisustettu sviitti. Erittäin hyvä sänky nukkua. Hiljaista mikä oli superhieno juttu.

Cons:

Saavuimme reilusti sisäänkirjausajan jälkeen mutta silti siivousta ei ollut edes aloitettu sviitissämme. Kurja yllätys ovea avatessamme. Kirjautumisvaiheessa ei henkilökunta edes tiennyt ettei siivousta ollut tehty. Jouduimme odottelemaan reilun tunnin.

Pros:

The location is imazing, the lake and view is so nice.

Cons:

Due to maintenance work on the pipes, there was a water outage during our stay. Water and electricity are essential services when staying at a hotel, so this negatively affected our experience. As a result, we were not completely satisfied with our stay. We also felt that the breakfast could have offered a wider variety of options.

Majestic location
Pros:

The accommodation is in a majestic location with lovely lake views and so peaceful. Friendly reception on arrival, the manager was kind enough to provide a complementary update to the Anja luxury, a ground floor apartment with its own terrace and lake views. The apartment was very spacious with large sofa area, dining table, small kitchen with microwave, refrigerator and hob, coffee peculator and kettle. Two separate bedrooms and bathroom with good shower. Great fluffy bed robes were an added bonus.
Breakfast the following morning was simple but met all basic needs with hot options, plus yoghurt, porridge, juice, bread, meats, cheese and tea/coffee.
The quiet peaceful location is the great attraction of this place.

Cons:

There are no evening dining options so we had a meal on the way there.

Pros:

Overall, we had a pleasant stay, and the inn has a great deal to recommend it. The location is excellent, and the building itself is charming. Our suite (the Onni Suite, the largest available) was spacious and comfortable.

That said, there were a few areas where some attention to detail would make a significant difference. There were several spots where paint had chipped from the walls, which seemed like relatively minor maintenance issues that could easily be addressed. The walls were also quite bare, and a few pieces of artwork would have made the suite feel warmer and more inviting. We also found it a little unusual that the only television was in the main bedroom rather than in the living area.

One disappointment was the swimming pool on our first evening (a Sunday). It was occupied by a large group of local visitors who appeared to use it as a regular weekly gathering, making it impractical for hotel guests to enjoy. It would have been helpful to know this in advance.

We had also expected there to be a full-service restaurant on site. Instead, there was only the harbour café, which served a limited selection of salads and sandwiches until 6 p.m. Breakfast was perfectly adequate, offering a standard Finnish-style buffet, but it wasn't particularly memorable.

The biggest strengths of this property are undoubtedly its fantastic location and the character of the inn itself. With a little more attention to maintenance and presentation, it could easily live up to the high expectations created by the excellent reviews we had read before our visit.

Finally, while all of the staff were polite, they often seemed quite busy and, at times, lacked the warmth and engagement that can make a stay feel truly welcoming. It gave the impression that they may have been overworked rather than unwilling to help.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay and believe the inn has tremendous potential. A few relatively small improvements would make it an outstanding place to visit.

Cons:

Cons:

Aamiainen oli melko mitäänsanomaton. Huone oli ahtaan oloinen johtuen kaltevasta katosta.
