The best part of this hotel is the food. Absolutely fantastic dinner with two different pan fried fish with vegetables. The breakfast was even better. So delicious you would like to spend the rest of the day there. It compensates for the humble and even little primitive room.

Hunting trip in really cold winter weather

Small and nice hotel, bit outdated which you'll notice on some cases like neighbor room above of yours flushing the toilet you will hear this. Still quiet enough , you'll find everything there you'll need except business center, they didn't even knew what it was they were lacking of. Friendly personnel , feels like they are trying to run it a bit short handed. Front desk person is multitasking taking care of check-in, waiter job and taking care of bar. Rooms were a bit too cold for my taste (winter 11/2022) and -24c. outside.Or maybe this was also due for the energy crises. Parking places outside was minimal since they were building completely new parking field with charging station etc. this being ready I'm sure all will be fine. Breakfast was adequate and tasty , all functions they promises works and are in good and clean condition.Clean it is, nothing to complain in that sector. Would I come again , sure I would. My trip was mid of the week.

Huone oli uusi, mutta kylmä. Lämpötila oli siinä hieman alle kahdenkymmenen, kun pakkaspäivän jälkeen olisi kaivannut lämpöä. Sägköauton latauspistokkeita ei ollut tarjolla. Tämä kuulemma korjaantuu myöhemmin.

Loistava majoituspaikka!

Hyvä hotelli loistavilla palveluilla. Täydellinen ohikulkupaikka pidemmän loman yhteydessä. Erityisen iloisia olimme pyykinpesu- ja ruoanlaittomahdollisuudesta.

Yhden yön välipysähdys

Ihan ok yöpyminen. Huone on siisti, mutta vanha kokolattiamatto tekee huoneesta tunkkaisen ja hieman epähygieenisen oloisen. Muutoin pinnat ja lakanat olivat puhtaat. Naapurihuoneiden äänet kuuluvat melko hyvin huoneisiin ja onneksi ei naapurihuoneisiin osunut yömyöhään juhlivia matkalaisia. Aamupala oli maistuva. Hieman päivitystä yleisilmeeseen olisi paikallaan!

Die Unterkunft liegt in einer Baustelle, ist abgewohnt, schmuddelig und sanierungsbedürftig. Ab 06:06Uhr begann der Baulärm. Betten durchgelegen. Der Preis von 171€ ist für diesen vorgefundenen Zustand nicht gerechtfertigt. Das um das Hotel mal gebaut wird ist nicht zu vermeiden. Hier hätte man den Gästen jedoch mit einen Preisnachlass für die Unannehmlichkeiten die der Baustellenbetrieb mit sich bringt entgegen kommen können.

Remontin tarpeessa

Odotukset korkealla,kirjautuminen ok. Huone vaikutti olevan ok, mutta tarkempi tsekkaus niin olipa huonosti siivottu. Kylpyhuoneeseen meno arvelutti. Suihkukopin lattia täynnä hiekkaa ja muuta möhnää...peltinen lavuaaripöytä märkä. Huoneen ilmanvaihto tuuletin oli käsittämättömän äänekäs. Kaikessa näki, että vain välttämätön korjataan.Sänky oli hyvä...aamiainen surkea, pöydissä edellisten astiat,aamupala tarjottavat lopussa,pöydän pinnat tahmaiset jne. Auton sai lähelle sisään käyntiä ja huone oli ykköskerroksessa ja myös sauna oli plussaa.

Perushyvä hotelli

Kirjautumisen yhteydessä väitettiin, että varaukseni olisi tehty yhdelle henkilölle, vaikka se oli tehty kolmelle. Lopulta siitä ei tullut ongelmaa ja varattu huone "sattui" olemaan kolmelle henkilölle. Erikoisruokavaliot oli huomioitu ihan hyvin aamupalalla. Huoneiden seinät oli paperia, naapurin kuorsaus kuului läpi, mutta muuten oli ihan siistiä ja kaikki toimi. Voisin pysähtyä uudestaan matkalla pohjoiseen.
