Kiva hotelli

Siisti hotelli, kattava aamiainen. Otimme saunallisen huoneen, ainoa miinus siinä oli ettemme löytäneet ilmastoinnin säätöä, saunomisen ajaksi se olisi ollut mukava saada kovemmalle. Vastaanotossa oli ystävällinen palvelu.

Olemme yöpyneet kyseisessä hotellissa useita kertoja ja aina palvelu on ollut mukavaa ja sopivan rentoa. Ruoka ravintolasta tilattaessa erinomaista ja aamupala on hyvä.

I think the overall service was nice, but the place was not. Especially the hotel restaurant had wonderful service. Hotel itself was old, well in need of some redoing. There was dust between the windows, like it was cleaned 2 years ago. Also the view to Stora Enso power plant isn't that great tbh :D

Yöpyminen tammikuussa 2025

Hotellin kunto ja palvelut ovat rapistuneet. Aamiainen on vaatimaton ja monipuolisuus supistunut. Erikoisruokavaliot ovat kuitenkin hyvin esille ja ne ovat riittävän monipuoliset.

Yöpyminen Varkaudessa osana pidempää matkaa. Sisäänkirjautuminen suijui vauhdikkaasti vaikka olimmekin etuajassa. Ravintolan illallinen oli herkullinen ja palvelu loistavaa. Aamiainen oli hyvä, en tiedä mitä olisin miut voinut toivoa. (Aamiaishuoneen tyttö olisi voinut toivottaa huomenta tullessamme aamiaiselle).

Hotellilla ruokailu

Aamupalan taso on laskenut aiemmista kesistä. Erikoisruokavaliona gluteiinittomuus oli hyvin huomioitu. Ravintolan ruokalista huomattavasti supistunut eikä erityisen kiinnostava. Houkutti syömään muualla.
