    Our room wasn't cleaned every day as we wanted to and there was a funny smell in the whole of the hotel, breakfast didn't seem fresh.

    The location is amazing and the views are great, just minutes away from the stadium which was very convenient.

    Hotel seems to be past of its heyday as customers seem to prefer newer hotels in nearby sports resort Vuokatti. Surfaces are worn out. Rooms are old fashioned, least to say. Some details are amusing, for example room was equipped with rather old tube tv and adjacent empty building looked like B-class horror movie setting. Some details however need urgent attention: toilet seat of our room was patched with tape and the wc door was broken. This is a matter of preference, but I found the bed quite uncomfortable. It was difficult to get sleep on hard bed.

    Reasonably good breakfast. Good central location in Sotkamo next to beach, pesäpallo-stadium and all other services. Location on a hill is also quite beautiful. Good space for parking. You cannot complain about the price for two people.

    - no kettle in the room, - no option to control the temperature so it was a little bit cold inside but you can go to the bathroom and it's way warmer there, - strange smell in the hallway but nothing dramatic or annoying, - old furniture and old design of the hotel and rooms, - weak Wi-Fi, - old and non working TV, - when I was checking in the receptions working hours were different, I got my room at the time I needed it but didn't get the info that it's possible as a reply to my request send the day before.

    - close to the shops and gas station, - the size of the room is more than enough for one person, - a lot of space for the luggage, - small fridge inside the desk, - good breakfast with many options (worm and cold) but just one option for hot beverage (not so good coffee), - very helpful receptionist.

    Dirty, trash on corridors and in yard. Maybe even some mold in the building. Everything is like it used to be in the 80's and not repaired anything after that.

    Good basic finnish breakfast. Close to Sotkamo city center

    Everything is as old as it can be. You can feel the springs on the beds. They advertise a pool that after all has no water, with the excuse of a nice lake that “maybe” you can go swimming as it’s not warm yet. Saunas are only in the evenings, so if you are an early bird, no chance. Breakfast was bad, some dishes unrecognizable. No glasses on the toilet for drinking water. Price is completely outrageous for the quality of what they offer. For a comparison, for 100e more we are staying tonight in a junior suit of a hotel with a nice (working) spa.

    Location, we needed a place for the night and had to make almost whatever work.

    Nothing not to like.

    We have stayed here many a time, they always treat us like we were part of the family, friendly and unassuming. Location is spot on in the vicinity of the town and fabulous beach, sauna piping hot for the weary traveller. Also beautiful pine forest around the property that gives out dizzying scents and heavenly silence.

    I didn't dislike but must say that the breakfast was more of a quantity, rather than quality, an average level. No air conditioning but this is usually not a problem.

    Great location and super price-quality ratio. I even like their old fashioned, outdated style. Awesome beach and nature for long walks and the village is close-by. Lovely couple managing the property. The greatest sport ever, Finnish baseball is played 'next door', worth visiting - see Sotkamon Jymy (the club) and Hiukan pesäpallostadion (the venue).

    No Room cleaning during the stay. A better ventilation system would have made sense, as with 3 dogs in room it got very hot. Because of the moskitos and weather it was not even possible to open the door.

    Great location for dog owners, walk your pet straight outside the room in forest and on the beautiful beach. Although there was just a handful of guests, everything was perfect and friendly.
