Lovely little hotel, lots of privacy and nature, close to the ski station, very attentive and friendly staff, beautiful and cozy decoration. Amazing breakfast. Could have more vegan things too though. A really good stay, will return.

We arrived pretty late and did not expect to be welcomed by the hotel's staff (we received check-in instructions in case the reception was closed). To ou surprise, they were waiting for us with a complimentary drink and a lot of friendly recommendations for dinner and activities in the area. They also changed our room for a bigger lakeside one with a great view. Our only regret was to only stay there one night.

Hyvä aamiainen, siisti ja tyylikäs huone. Sauna ja avanto plussaa. Salillakin hyvän treenin tekee, mutta ei tällä hiihtoreissulla tullut käyttöön.

Erittäin hyvä palvelu. Erittäin hyvää ruokaa ravintola Ainoassa ja hyvä palvelu. Huone oli siisti, hyvä nukkua ja hotelli hyvällä paikalla ja aamupala hyvä ja helppo päästä sisälle hotelliin ja huoneeseen. Vartioitu parkkipaikka. Suosittelen

Laadukas hotelli rauhallisella ja viihtyisällä paikalla järvenrannassa. Siisti ja mukava huone, hyvät sängyt. Henkilökunta oli poikkeuksetta ystävällistä ja avuliasta. Viihdyimme oikein hyvin, ja tulemme varmasti toistekin.
