    The bathroom is the first one that needs renovation, in my humble opinion. It's clean, though, just very outdated and not that fresh.

    It's basic, but you get good quality for the price you pay. It was nice to find a cookie and some coffee powder in the room :) I even could sleep the window open even though it's next to the rails. And I never needed to queue to the toilet or bathroom.

    A Finnish speciality: you need to do the linen… but het, it is a minuscle price for the above upsides!!

    Value for the money and the magical ability to squeeze everything necessary into minimal space: a fridge, a TV, a coffeemaker, anwater boiler for tea, a closet and a sink for good measure (remember, this place has shared showers)… and free parking, all this 300m from the center square…! And did I mention a desk and a chair if you want to do some remote work… and there is something that is rapidly becoming a rarity…a reading lamp!

    The bathroom is pretty small.

    It is very close both to the railway station and the city center, everything was reachable on foot. The check-in and out couldn't be more simple! The single room was just about the right size for one traveller and well equipped.

    Disposable boards and cups instead of reusable items. Nobody at the reception welcoming us (we arrived around 3 o'clock in the afternoon).

    Comfy bed. Floor heating in toilet. Some amenities in the room such as kettle. Nice big window. Cute Christmas decoration. Great location, just a minute by foot to train station. Also very close to most places in city centre.

    The only thing I didn’t like was the toilet and bathroom. It was together and was not enough space. Since we stayed only one night, it was not that much of a problem. But it would be nice to have space in the shower.

    Since we had to quarantine, we couldn’t make it on the dates we were supposed to be there. Since it was non-refundable, the owner was kind enough to change the dates. The room was very tidy. The parking space was there. And it’s closer to the market square. Safe environment. With COVID, they used no contact delivery for key. And there’s a microwave and refrigerator in room :)

    The room was really very small, especially for two people. The common WCs are clean, but very small and with no ventilation (I won't go into the details...)

    The equipment in the room is very basic, but clean and new. Sheets, mattress, blankets, towels and pillows were new and clean. the same applies to the fridge and the microwave (which we did not use). Our towels were changed every day. Beds are comfy and the furniture is simple, but in very good shape. We met once the manager, and she was super friendly and helpful.

    This accommodation combines all the respective disadvantages of a hotel compared to a hostel and vice versa, but none of the respective advantages: What it takes from hotels is the lack of kitchen/cooking facilities. On the other hand, as in hostels, the bathroom is shared, and as in some (but by far not all!) hostels, sheets have to be put on the bed by the guests upon arrival - an absolute no-go for a hotel (note though that none of the hostels I stayed at in Finland required me to do that!). At the same time, this place is clearly not a hostel, given the lack of common areas and community. The bathroom couldn’t have been smaller and featured a single faucet for both sink and shower. The garbage bin was virtually standing in the shower area and the shower has no shower tray. Beds lack bed lamps and the plates, cups and cutlery in the room were all plastic (zero sustainability). Shortage of accessible power outlets. The furniture was generally jumbled together and the whole place felt extremely random and uninviting.

    Location is grand it is a 3 minutes walk from central square from where you can take any bus you can imagine. Train station is even closer, yet the opposite direction.

    The password did not work at the entrance as I came at one in the morning and nobody was there. I could have almost sleep on the street if I would not have waked another customer who nicely came to open me the hostel door.
