Villas in Northern Savonia

"This is like a toned down water park and sports hotel with all kinds of amenities including an ice cave with tube slides and a spa. But beware, because when you book the room, it has to say spa access in order to get into the pool and hot tub. Apparently, you can’t even purchase access there if you only book the room/breakfast. Spa (pool) access was not offered when we reserved. The lady at the front desk was super sorry that we couldn’t go, and she gave us a key that would access, but by then there was only 20 minutes left to use it that evening (it closes early), but we could have gone the next morning if we had wanted to deal with it before heading out (we chose not to). After eating in the onsite restaurant/bar (good food and good service) because there is literally only pizza in the town as far as we could tell, lol, the front desk lady called us over on our way back to the room and offered to let us go down to the ice cave. It was REALLY COOL! It was also closing down for the night, so we couldn’t slide, but it was a fun exhibit of ice and snow sculptures that we got to walk through. And they provided a coat, or even whole warm jumpsuit type full body coats to wear. (Good since it was close to 90° outside, lol, we were not prepared for winter when we randomly picked this hotel while driving around the country). They change the exhibit periodically, apparently. I would definitely go back and spend a couple of nights sometime."

"Hotellet utanför stadskärnan men därmed också lugnt. Rummet var bra med 2 breda sköna sängar. Parkering direkt utanför rummet+++. Problemet var värmen, det fanns en bordsfläkt men den gjorde bara nytta när man satt brevid den. Det var 29 grader i rummet så det blev att ligga utan något täcke/lakan på sig. Frukosten var bra "

"Great dining! Rooms are dated. Cheerful and helpful staff!"

"The hotel is a short drive to town as well as to hiking trails. "

"We had a nice stay"

"Lovely staff, amazing range of choice for breakfast. Right in central location within walking distance to the harbour church and shopping area. "

"I was in a studio room, that is not located in the main building. When I showed I wish for cleaning the sign was always blown away by the wind and staff did not see it. They should care about it a little bit more."

"Nice, clean, minimalistic hostel. Would be nice to have shampoo includes, not only hand wash... "

"Mostly good – great location & friendly staff. The ventilation was very bad though – the aircon didn’t stop the room being very stuffy and smelly. If the window was openable (even by 10 or 20cm) that would make it a lot nicer, and probably wouldn’t let anyone fall out. It would also be much nicer if there was a kettle in the room, to save having to go downstairs to get a cup of coffee"
