Poor value for what it is
This is an OK, slightly average hotel, but very overpriced for what it is. The surrounding "Kalevala park" is also frankly neglected, and has surely seen better days. The hotel is in a spectacular natural setting, but there are other signs of under-investment, such as the pier that is close to falling away into the lake. I'm not too fussy a traveller and wouldn't normally mind, but the value for money just isn't here in this case. And sauna -- which is usually open to all guests and included in the room rate at most Finnish hotels, and certainly all hotels in this price category -- is NOT included, as we very unpleasantly found out upon checking out. There was no posting anywhere in the hotel of such "rates" for the sauna, and the hotel staff even cheerfully offered us a sauna turn, without bothering to tell us of the very substantial charge to our bill that would result. That's the sort of behaviour that cannot be forgiven. The cracked, slightly run-down charms of the hotel are real, but the management is less than forthcoming with its guests -- and clearly more interested in fleecing them than investing in the property.

Luontoa ja rauhaa
Vietimme kaksi yötä hotellissa, viihdyimme oikein hyvin ja paikassa oli tällä kertaa rauhallista. Saunassa ja ulkoporeammeessa tuli käytyä molempina iltoina ja Talvisotamuseo joka sijaitsee aivan naapurissa on suosituksen arvoinen. Hotellilla on oma ranta josta pääsee hyvin uimaan, ranta on loivahko ja rappuset takaisin saunalle/altaille. Aamiaisvalikoima ei ollut valtava mutta täysin riittävä ja laadukas, vähemmän on joskus enemmän. Emme itse nyt käyttäneet mutta kuulimme muilta vierailta että hotellin kautta voi varata aktiviteetteja mm. karhujen spottausta jne.

Nice and cozy spa hotel with excellent staff
This is a nice and cozy hotel by the lake in beautiful surroundings. The staff was excellent and very helpful in getting the best possible experience in Kuhmo and the area around it. Breakfast was good with home-baked bread. The hotel has a nice spa and sauna area, with an outdoor jacuzzi by the lake. It is very good value for the money.

Hieman myös hmm...
Hotelli on komealla paikalla. Hieman jo kulahtuneisuutta. Näillä helteillä, ja muulloinkin, pieni jääkaappi huoneessa olisi paikallaan. Saunan aukiolo hieman kiusallinen, auki klo 18-20. Kuitenkin kun tulimme kierrokselta klo 21 maissa, joku pariskunta tuli ehkä saunasta, ainakin heillä oli kylpytakit yllään. Mutta oli hyvä herätä järveä ihaillen.

Hotelli on puhdas ja siisti. "Sisustus" jämähtänyt 80-luvulle ja kulahtanut. Hyviä elementtejä olisi ollut, omat kädet syyhysivät innosta alkaa järjestelemään sisustusta. Ruoka- annoksissa 10e liikaa hintaa, tien toiselta puolelta saa sensijaan loistavia burgereita. Palvelu oli pääasiassa hyvää, yhtä pientä epäkorrektiutta lukuunottamatta.

Worst experience ever
Though the hotel clerk was nice (they close 23 but let us in 23:15) this hotel must be the worst ever by Nordic standards. Its like a time travel to the early 90s. You can hear the neighbour breathe - thats how poorly isolated it is. But thats not the contributing factor to my 1 star. The reason is that it was a party in the neighbour room. The clerk asked them to be quiet and left - then after 30 minutes the party started again full blown. Drunk people in the hallway screaming, swearing and banging on the walls. And NO SECURITY. We could have been murdered in that hallway and noone would notice as it is not any security cameras. I travelled there with my 10 year old son and we could not sleep before 03-04 in the night. My son was of course uneasy because of this aggressive screaming in the hallway. We also of course missed breakfast because of that and slept till 11 even more tired than before we arrived. Totally overpriced hotel that should get competition from some cheap modern hotels. Its not that: I would gladly pay 200EUR for a Nordic Choice room and I expected this standard when I ordered the room. Will recommend everyone to choose another alternative - even camping - even sleeping in your car. The interior of the room and hotel is at best 2 star quality. And to end this disaster review - why the hell did the clerk give us a room right beside a party when he could see I have a 10 year old child with me??? Sick.
