Good for a short stay
Pros:

Close to the center. Good buffet breakfast.

Cons:

The single room was quite small and not very practical. Power outlets are not easy to access. Water leaked from under the shower screen due to an uneven floor.

Pros:

Helka ei petä. Rauhallinen, super siisti, hyvä sauna.

Siisti hotelli ja yksityis omistuksessa josta syystä se valittiin!
Pros:

Aamiainen oli normi pöytä, ei mitään mieleen jäävää kuitenkaan!

Cons:

VC tila oli toivoton! Niin pieni, että siihen piti mennä ”peruuttamalla” vc:n lasiovi vaarallinen, terävä alareuna ja niin pieni rako alhaalla, että kun sen aukaisin niin leikkasi varpaaseen ison vertavuotavan haavan! Ovi pitäis olla joko alhaalta väljempi tai rako ahtaampi, ettei varpaat murjoonnu, vieläkin sairastan varvasta!

Pros:

Rauhallinen, hyvällä paikalla oleva hotelli. Henkilökunta osaavaa ja ystävällistä.

Cons:

Safety box puuttui. Aamutakki puuttui. Ne ovat tarpeen.
Jouduimme vaihtamaan huonetta, koska ilmastointi puhalsi kovaa ja äänekkäästi. Henkilökunta ei osannut sitä sammuttaa. Kukaan ei pysyy nukkumaan sellaisessa vedossa ja äänessä.

Great hotel at good location with wonderful staff
Pros:

Location is Great, it is right in the City centre.
Hotel staff were ever so helpful.
Staff at reception are wonderful, they were very kind and supportive with our requests e.g
we even received packed breakfast last day when we had to check out so early to reach our flight.

Pros:

Cosy rooms, great saunas, tasty breakfast and super friendly staff!
The hotel itself is very interesting as a building too if you’re into this kind of things. I especially like the staircase kept in the close to original state.
