it was perfect for a 1 night stay. in general i would recommend this hotel for those who is travelling by car and doesn't seek for posh accommodation. friendly english speaking staff, sauna, really nice breakfast, perfect location: hotel is surrounded by nature and at the same time not far from Itakeskus or Jumbo shopping malls.

Nice location, really peaceful. Sauna & pool facility is a nice addition to your stay. Actually one of the first hotels with decent quality WiFi, which covers the entire area, good signal strengt and no hussling with signing in etc. Breakfast was also very good, lots of choice and good tasting, healthy thing to choose from. The bathroom is a little outdated, but since you can use the sauna + pool in the afternoon, you can ofcourse freshen up there since the showers there are much much better. Reception is only available during given times, which concerns me in a country with unfamiliar language, what if you'd lose your room key after visiting Helsinki in the evening? Also the hotel is a remote location, bear that in mind when relying on public transportation for example.

Had a nice scenery from anywhere around the hotel, fairly quiet. The scenery includes open forest and the sea side. Lack of public transport towards the hotel.

Although far off — I had to walk through the wood for 2 km — it is a great spot since it’s calm and ideal place to be lost in thoughts. Beautiful nature around and amazing air quality. Free Wifi worked excellently. Very spartan interior, nothing to fall in love with, but serves the purpose: of having a bed right in the nature.

I have nothing to say(( Very poor room conditions, needs a good reconstruction as soon as possible, I've seen such hotels last time many years ago in USSR)) For the price a few euro higher, you can book very good room at 500 m at the same place in good hotel.

The location is second to none - overlooking the Baltic, set in a wooded area. It is wonderfully secluded and peaceful. No on site resteraunt for lunches or evening meals. Although the hotel does have a kitchen and dining facility it is only used for breakfast. This means you will need to head int the local town (about a 1.5km walk).
