Nice and quiet hotel in the center. Good value for money. Friendly service. We left early so we got early breakfast to go.

I think the overall service was nice, but the place was not. Especially the hotel restaurant had wonderful service. Hotel itself was old, well in need of some redoing. There was dust between the windows, like it was cleaned 2 years ago. Also the view to Stora Enso power plant isn't that great tbh :D
Helppo sijainti, rauhallinen, nopea palvelu, rauhallinen.

Muuten ihan hyvÀ, mutta huoneen yhdellÀ seinÀllÀ on tapetti, joka oli tosi pölyinen. JÀtin siitÀ huomautuksen huoneeseen ja ilmoitin hotellille palautteessa.

SÀngyt vÀhÀn liian pehmeÀt. Henkilökunta avulias, mutta ruokaa piti hakea lÀhikaupasta, kun ravintolaan ei mahtunut

YstÀvÀllinen vastaanotto ja tilava ja siisti huone
Erityisesti arvostan yhden hengen huonetta, jossa on yksi vuode. Huone oli viihtyisÀ ehkÀ juuri sen takia. Kahden vuoteen huone yhdelle on jotenkin loukkaavaa.
Huone oli siisti, henkilökunta huumorintajuista.
Siisti hotelli ja helppo majoittua koirienkin kanssa. Saunallinen kaksio oli mukava! Aamupala oli ihan jees, tuore leipÀ kruunasi perunteisen hotelliaamiaisen.
Huone oli erittÀin siisti ja sÀnky mukava. Hotelli on jo jonkin ikÀinen, joka nÀkyy. Aamiainen oli erinomainen ja kuuden minuutin munat olivat parhaat missÀÀn syömÀni; valkuainen hyytynyt ja keltuainen sopivan löysÀ. Vastaanoton palvelu oli todella hyvÀ. Viihdyimme.

Perushotelli
Huone perussiisti, wc kattolamppu rikki. Henkilökunta ystÀvÀllinen palvelualtis. Aamiaisella ei tarjolla pekonia, mistÀ miinusta.
