    Super calm place in a beautiful peninsula but a bit old style...

    The style is super old and communistic-like - it can be refreshed a bit. After entering the room the smell was slightly strange, but after ventilating it was OK. A bit strangely arranged toilet.

    It was the most silent and quiet place I've ever visited! Super beautiful peninsula! Well connected by the bus and the metro! Nice balcony with a beautiful view and it's super calm there. Tasty breakfast! Not many people around.

    It was one of the best of my stays recently, although I haven’t met the team because I arrived late and left early. I found the place where keys were locked because I got a perfect map upfront. I also got a delicious packed breakfast which I enjoyed at a ferry later on.

    The walls are quite thin in the rooms.

    The location was completely stunning and ery good for those wanting to take a break in the nature, or to hike. There are a few trails around the area, but no extended hikes. There is also plenty of places to swim, one public beach that also have a play area for kids and an outside gym further down the cape and another one just before the cape. The former one also has a small shop and lifeguards, the latter I only walked passed so I don't know much about it. In the hotel there is a lot to do, books to borrow, games and the peace and quite of just sitting outside. Unfortunately, the pool and sauna wasn't open when I was visiting, that would've been an extra plus.

    It could be helpful that the restaurant propose a dinner on night and lunch on the week end, since it is a bit far from the center (about 30 minutes of walk) to go there only to buy something to eat.

    I've been very pleased that the hotel is near the see and in a very quiet place, in the nature, but also accesible by bus and metro. It was perfect to have a rest and to apart from the city. The place in a natural reserve is very pleasant, there are o lot of space to walk and admire a great variety of birds. I have found all the personal, but particularly Jelena, very kind and helpful for every detail, so every thing I asked o need was resolved very easily and they speak english. It was very appreciable because I didn't speak Finnish. The breakfeast is very good and sufficient in quantity, the lunch is also very correct (soup or salad). The acomodation was very confortable with a balcon in front of see, and suficient space, that was important for six days. I think it is a great opportunity to have rest on week end and hollidays or like me after a profesional event.

    The reception hours are somewhat restricted so you have to plan your day around check-in time.

    The surroundings are amazing and the staff is welcoming and helpful. Good breakfast. The building and furnishing have a wonderful sixties feel.
