If you are waiting to find a modern hotel with modern facilities so please move on. The bathrooms have seen their best days, many times... the flooring is loose in the rooms, the hallways have the odeur of some moist, the lighting is poor and the outside of the hotel looks like something from a horror movie. There is no spa, or there is but it's very dry, years ago it must have been really nice.

It's like a blast from the past, like time would have stopped in the 80s. The place has seen it's best days,, everything is "best before" a long time ago, but I guess that's the charming part of it. Location is superb and in the era of big branded hotel chains this place is, how should I place my words, different. If you want to try something that looks and feels like something from a Kaurismäki movie, then this is the place for you. In our room the beds were great and all the linen and towels were clean, that's about everyhting that can be called clean in this place. There's a lot of long spooky corridors and hallways to have nightly adventures in, the closed spa and all the conference areas are great places to play some Scary Movie hide and seek.

Our room wasn't cleaned every day as we wanted to and there was a funny smell in the whole of the hotel, breakfast didn't seem fresh.

The location is amazing and the views are great, just minutes away from the stadium which was very convenient.

Hotel seems to be past of its heyday as customers seem to prefer newer hotels in nearby sports resort Vuokatti. Surfaces are worn out. Rooms are old fashioned, least to say. Some details are amusing, for example room was equipped with rather old tube tv and adjacent empty building looked like B-class horror movie setting. Some details however need urgent attention: toilet seat of our room was patched with tape and the wc door was broken. This is a matter of preference, but I found the bed quite uncomfortable. It was difficult to get sleep on hard bed.

Reasonably good breakfast. Good central location in Sotkamo next to beach, pesäpallo-stadium and all other services. Location on a hill is also quite beautiful. Good space for parking. You cannot complain about the price for two people.

Unfortunately the hotel condition is poor. It is old and of padly dilapidated. Mold was smelling already on a front door. We could not stay there at all, so we left. If I would stay propably my lungs would be very bad condition.. Shame..

Customer service was friendly and helpfull. We canselled our staying and he was understanding and our payment was giving back. Location is nice, but surroundings, yard, was not taking care. I do really hope someone gives money and effort and buy the hotel and build a new one behalf of this old one, coz location is nice looking near the famous beach.

It was a bit dated but functional. Pillows were lumpy.

Comfortable room with a good breakfast. Very helpful host.

We use this hotel every summer for it's value for money, friendliness, freedom of movement, location, space, views and the retro feel. Also breakfast is totally adequate.

- no kettle in the room, - no option to control the temperature so it was a little bit cold inside but you can go to the bathroom and it's way warmer there, - strange smell in the hallway but nothing dramatic or annoying, - old furniture and old design of the hotel and rooms, - weak Wi-Fi, - old and non working TV, - when I was checking in the receptions working hours were different, I got my room at the time I needed it but didn't get the info that it's possible as a reply to my request send the day before.

- close to the shops and gas station, - the size of the room is more than enough for one person, - a lot of space for the luggage, - small fridge inside the desk, - good breakfast with many options (worm and cold) but just one option for hot beverage (not so good coffee), - very helpful receptionist.

Dirty, trash on corridors and in yard. Maybe even some mold in the building. Everything is like it used to be in the 80's and not repaired anything after that.

Good basic finnish breakfast. Close to Sotkamo city center

The location was excellent, breakfast was great - included hot chocolate. Value for money. Only thing missing for us was the piano not being in tune.

Everything is as old as it can be. You can feel the springs on the beds. They advertise a pool that after all has no water, with the excuse of a nice lake that “maybe” you can go swimming as it’s not warm yet. Saunas are only in the evenings, so if you are an early bird, no chance. Breakfast was bad, some dishes unrecognizable. No glasses on the toilet for drinking water. Price is completely outrageous for the quality of what they offer. For a comparison, for 100e more we are staying tonight in a junior suit of a hotel with a nice (working) spa.

Location, we needed a place for the night and had to make almost whatever work.
