Hyytiälä Holidays from £370

Loved it , could use an upgrade on pillows & bedding

We had a two bedroom apartment for our family for 4 nights. There was plenty of room and the extra space of a glass enclosed balcony area added to this. The kids enjoyed having there own space as their bedroom had a sliding door. The bunk beds were built into the walls of the room instead of being free standing. Kitchen space was ample and well stocked with all the accessories we needed for the small amount of cooking we did, and all of the cutlery and crockery was good quality. There was a separate WC and basin room, Shower room and basin, and a sauna.

The building is a traditional wooden house with a small garden. I had a very friendly and welcoming person checking me in. I was surprised to receive an offer of welcoming drink ( cava or non alcoholic drink) and also free soft drinks and chocolate in the room as it was not mentioned online. The room was nicely decorated and on a very hot day the room was nice and cool but the huge air conditioning unit was very noisy and we had to turn it off for the night. Luckily the windows could be opened. The bathroom looked pretty but it’s very impractical. There is a huge wash basin next to a shower and the toilet seat is at the back. If you have a shower it’s impossible to use the toilet without getting your feet wet. There is also no hooks for clothes or space for toiletry bag. The shampoos etc were very nice ( Rituals). Breakfast is very nice and varied but not your standard chain hotel breakfast. Breakfast is from 8-10 am. We also had a dinner and the food was very nice. The restaurant was practically empty on a Saturday evening but we were told that they had had a very busy week. We had a good sleep and a comfortable stay. I was given a hotel’s green tea as a gift on check out.

Quiet and cozy rooms, and only a few minutes away from the city centre. Great amenities and perks, like the Finlayson Roof Walk which is about 5 minutes away.
