The staff was on a high professional level.

Excellent riverside location between the railway station and the city center. Very short walking distance to the city center but rental bikes are available, too. Cozy rooms with self-adjustable air-conditioning and ventilation windows. The refrigerator of our room was quite loud. Good breakfast with local specialties like Karelian rice pastries and banana-chocolate cake by a local bakery. The restaurant with a large summer terrace is good. The pampering spa department is with an extra charge.

Hotellet är trevligt, men inte i relation till priset..Parkering i phus tvärs över gatan. Ingen möjlighet att ta sig direkt in i hotellet. Frukost bra, restaurangen trevlig, frukostmatsalen stor och opersonlig.. Rummet ok. Lite slitet liksom badrummet, hopplös dusch där vatten kommer över hela golvet! Trevlig o hjälpsam personal. Sen utcheckning kostar extra..

Todella kiva, oli vaihtoehtoja hiljaiseen käyttävän huone, hyvät sängyt, monipuolinen aamiainen, asiallinen kuntosali ja spa.
