Superb new Gasthaus in Kotka. The location is really convenient Gasthaus is located at the top of the hill within nice recidential area. City center and all key sights are within walking distance. The property is an old coast guard station and everything has been renovated honoring the history of the building. So, this is a sea themed Gasthaus were some of the rooms have private bathroom and others shared. There is also a large community kitchen that is fully equipped and perfect for making your own breakfast or even dinner, Great views, amazingly clean and easy to park. Highly recommended for a stay in Kotka

Ei oikeastaan hotelli vaan hostelli. Ei henkilökuntaa paikalla, koodilla pÀÀsi sisÀÀn. Vessa ja suihku kÀytÀvÀllÀ. Hankala sijainti mÀen pÀÀllÀ, omakotialueen lÀpi pÀÀsi rantaan. Meluisa huone, kuorsaus kuului seinÀn lÀpi. Aamulla piti ottaa lakanat sÀngystÀ ja viedÀ roskat. Nyt majoitun samaan hintaan Holiday Club VierumÀellÀ!

Huonekuvauksessa ei mainita lainkaan, ettÀ huoneessa on vain jaettu wc+kylpyhuone. TÀmÀ olisi ehdottomasti syytÀ lisÀtÀ kuvaukseen. Muuten hostellityyppiseksi majoitukseksi ok, aamupala hyvÀ ja maisemat ylÀkerran loungesta hienot.

Mukava vaihtoehto - Nice option

Mukava majoitusvaihtoehto. Huone oli siisti, yksinkertaisesti sisustettu ja omalla kylpyhuoneella. Minibaari-kokoinen jÀÀkaappi oli hyvÀ lisÀ. Majatalo sijaitsee hyvÀssÀ ja rauhallisessa paikassa mÀenhuipulla, josta on helppo lÀhteÀ kÀvellen kiertÀmÀÀn Kotkansaaren puistoja nÀhtÀvyyksiÀ. - Nice option for accommodation. The room was clean, simply decorated and it had a private bathroom. Minibar sized frigde was a nice addition. Guesthouse is located in a quiet place on top of a hill and from there it is really easy to walk around Kotka city to see the parks and do some sightseeing.

Positiivinen yllÀtys! KÀytÀnnön jÀrjestelyt toimivat hienosti, ja saimme nukuttu hyvÀt unet. Aamupala oli erittÀin hyvÀ: lapsille mieluisia olivat erityisesti vohvelit, joita sai paistaa itse, ja itse olin positiivisesti yllÀttynyt gluteenittomien tuotteiden tarjonnasta. Voisin yöpyÀ tÀÀllÀ toisenkin kerran. Suosittelen.
