Toimiva pysähdyspaikka

Siistit huoneet ja yleiset tilat. Hyvä keittiö. Pesukonekin löytyy. Eli oikein mainio paikka pysähtyä yöksi esimerkiksi matkalla pohjoiseen. Itse ehkä hieman vieroksun jaettuja kylpyhuoneita, mutta täällä ne olivat erittäin siistejä ja toimivia. Palasin paluumatkalla tänne.

Olimme kaksi yötä Sawo Hostellissa. Olipa todella positiivinen yllätys. Siisteys täydellistä!! Huoneet raikkaat, vaikka oli helteinen sää. Hyvät sängyt ja kaikki yleiset tilat siistit ja toimivat. Sijainti myös loistava, rauhallista. Iso suositus tälle paikalle. Kiitos!

Matka lastenlasten kanssa onnistui hienosri, majoitus meille sopiva, yhteistilat hienot ja toimivat. Lasten leikkihuone oli kiva. Sauna olisi voinut olla pidempään auki, vaikka 21.00. Touhattiin kaupungilla nyt niin myöhään, että sauna jäi kokematta.

Rauhallinen ja siisti huone, nykyaikainen. Vain nojatuolia jäin kaipaamaan, se olisi sopinut huoneeseen hyvin. Selkärangaton ei jaksa sängynreunalla istua. Tosin suurin osa huoneessa vietetystä ajasta tuli nukuttua.

Hyväkuntoinen majoitus

Siisti, vast’ikään muutettu tai remontoitu hotellikäyttöön. Huoneessa ei omaa WCtä/suihkua. Niihin pääsee käytävätilan kautta. TV ja vedenkeitin löytyy huoneesta. Juuri sopiva yhden yön nukkumiseen.
