Reviews
We stayed in an apartment across the street from the hotel. A little dated, but lots of space. A large kitchen, two bedrooms and a private sauna. Only thing I missed was WI-FI which is not available in apartments, only hotel rooms and lobby. Hotel is otherwise very nice, easy access to public sauna and pool. The food is great, especially impressed over breakfast. Everything tastes fresh and not mass produced to maximize profit.
The hotel itself, located by a lake, is a combination of Finnish rustic and modernism, which creates a somewhat unique atmosphere. The interior seemed to be original (70s-80s?), and well kept and clean.
The service was great from even before we arrived (they called to hear if we were okay as we were running late). The restaurant, with a kitchen focused on local ingredients, and its attentive staff, made me wish I could stay for another night.
We stayed in a very dated apartment (I believe they are in the process of renovating), but it was large and mostly clean. It had a kitchen and a sauna. The hotel has a restaurant with a view of a lake. The food quality was great! There was also a pool, but we never tried it.
