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Small and nice hotel, bit outdated which you'll notice on some cases like neighbor room above of yours flushing the toilet you will hear this.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.

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.

Tuskastuttavan kuuma,ilmastointi taisi puuttua! Vessasta puuttui kaakeleita. Kokolattia matto oli likainen. Huone kallis,kuntoon nähden. Yksi yö meni just, mutta useampaa ei olisi pystynyt olemaan. Käytävä myös erittäin huonoilmainen. Vanhakin voi siisti!!

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.
