It´s easy to get suspicious about staying in a small Lappish village like Pello - but here there is no reason for suspicion or doubts whatsoever.
Hotelli Pellonhovi is a unique, sweet little hotel with an original, rustic touch and harmonic atmosphere. Although the building itself as well as the facilities have clearly seen their brightest days, everything is well maintained, clean and tidy.
As soon as one steps into the room, the contrast to old and dark corridors is huge; rooms are large, comfortable, clean and well-equipped - and they look just renovated.
Staff was friendly and made sure I had a good stay with everything I needed.
One extra bonus (not highlighted in the website enough): there is also a sauna and a swimming pool to be used free of charge - along with free parking right in front of the building.
Two points for criticism: water boiler was missing from the room and the breakfast was quite bleak and simple.
All in all, if in Pello, I will stay here again.
