Very finnish stay
Pros:

Just few minutes from the train station and from the city center. It is located near the river and recentrly renovated. Nice and clean.

Cons:

Gym is really small compared to hotel size and sauna limited hours divided between man and women. Food quality is good, very fresh.

Saimme os
Pros:

Toivoimme kylpyamme huonetta ja saimme sen. Pääsimme myös hieman aiemmin majoittumaan.

Cons:

Olimme majoittumassa vihkimisen jälkeen, pieni huomiointi tässä olisi ollut hotellin puolesta ihana, mutta ei toki voi odottaa liikoja.
