Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had rooms with separate entrances from the hallway, although they did not offer a view of Lake Kallavesi. Our room was a good size but slightly too small for two adults and two kids. The service was friendly, warm, efficient, and very helpful during our stay. The location was excellent, looking directly onto the lake that surrounds the town, ideal for memorable walks and photos. The dining experience was also worth recommending, although it could have been a bit better. Overall, the hotel provided a pleasant stay with some room for improvement.
The hotel's rooms could do with a little makeover, and looking into the reception door was a bit messy. However, the friendly service made my stay enjoyable, though it was rather spoiled by noisy air conditioning on the roof. The location was central in Kuopio with beautiful views, but the entrance way was a bit inconvenient. The dining experience offered various options but was not facing the lakefront as I expected.
The hotel location is just perfect, with easy access to a beautiful park by the lake and surrounded by wonderful walking paths. The rooms, though slightly small for a family, were well-equipped with a luxurious bathroom including a sauna, bathtub, and separate shower. The service was functional overall, with especially friendly morning staff. The dining experience offered a great selection of food, but the location next to nightclubs with smoke was a downside. The facilities were top-notch, providing everything needed for a comfortable stay.
The hotel offers clean, modern rooms on a quiet floor suitable for business travelers. The service at the reception desks was very friendly, although changing rooms was not possible. The location by the beautiful lake district was perfect for a peaceful stay, with easy access to walking paths. The dining experience was excellent with vegan options available, but limited service after breakfast hours. The facilities are well-maintained with all necessary amenities.
The hotel is in a perfect location, offering beautiful views and memorable walks by the lakeside. The rooms are clean, surprisingly spacious, and modern in style, although they felt slightly too small for two adults and two kids. The service was friendly, warm, and very helpful, although the night staff may need some improvement. The dining experience was fantastic, with delicious cuisine and a quiet lakeside ambiance. The facilities are well-maintained, making for a convenient and luxurious stay.
