Ok stay, why no gym or mini fridge in room

Great place, will stay here more often

If you take the new rooms, they are nice and compact. The TV screen is a bit out kf proportion, but I actually enjoyed the size more and more watching from bed. Food in the restaurant is good, the chef has been given a lot of freedom, this shows in a good way. Friendly people and the know how to make a good mocktail. Take the sauna. Good and relaxing place to chill with a alcohol free Heineken.

Kauniisti remontoitu, hyvällä paikalla. Erittäin siisti ja rauhallinen huone. Aamiainen oli täydellinen! Henkilökunta ystävällistä. Loistava sijainti; juna-asema, teatteri, museot ja keskustan kaupat lähellä. Upea ulkoilureitti järven rannalla.
