FYI: If you book double room you share the bathroom, shower and kitchen with one other double room. It was just us this time but the other room is across the hall so I'd expect very little noise from there. Breakfest is self-help but plentifull. There is sauna available for extra fee. We did not try it this time because we were too tired but I dare to recommend it anyway. Overall definitely worth the money. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jarmo 3 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Kiitokset hyvin sujuneesta majoituksesta.
