Lovely engaging staff Remote feeling Prettiness of resort
United KingdomGreat place - Hotel is beautiful in a great location. Sauna was perfect after a rainy day. The food in the restaurant was amazing and the staff were very friendly. Beds have been some of the most comfortable i have slept in Finland. Highly recommend, 10/10 will visit again when I'm in the area
GermanyEverything was like a fairy tale: the location, the amenities, the activities were so well organised, the food was excellent and the staff was really exceptional.
BelgiumLoved staying in the aurora igloos. Got to see the northern lights. The location is beautiful. Staff were fab.
Irelandif you like a quite and serene location this is the olace to be. the hotel is very cosy, nicely decorated, there is a great atmosphere and rhe food is excellent!!
BelgiumExceptional location, amazing staff, so helpful. A family-run business and Nangu surely must be the jewel in the hotel group. Only stayed one night (sadly) in our Finland tour before we flew back to London and what a way to end our holiday. Thank you to Essi and her team. We will return.
United KingdomBreakfast very good with great choice of items. Maybe only point of critique is that there was, next to knackebrod, small rolls and croissants, only one type of bread. Ambience of the hotel was great.
NetherlandsCozy, comfortable, large room. Kind staff. As I was sitting in the lounge bar, the staff came up to me and asked if they could offer me coffee or tea :) Very kind of her :) Nice view on the lake and excellent breakfast - diverse and tasteful.
SloveniaThis place is a veritable paradise . Magnificent location, which has been turned into a great holiday resort. Rooms have a Wow factor you should discover for yourself. Staff were lovely, telephoned to check where we were, were concerned for our safety when we asked to take a canoe out on the lake, which came at no extra charge and delighted when we asked to use the sauna. We love it so much we are already planning our return in Spring.
United KingdomAn AMAZING place. Charming wood cabin, the staff were excellent and it was a treat. Wish we could have stayed!
