Ystävällinen ja rauhallinen ilmapiiri. Koiraystävällinen paikka. Ihana ympäristö. Pöytäjalkis ilahdutti! Kotoinen, rustiikki sisustus, jossa muistettu rakennuksen historia. Rento meininki. Äänieristys olisi voinut olla pikkaisen parempi ilta-aikaan. Asiallinen ja asiakasta arvostava kohtelu henkilökunnan taholta. Itsepalveluaamiainen ihana. Jäi hyvä mieli.

A hidden gem!

A hidden gem in the countryside of Koli! Authentic and personal style in this old school building converted to a hotel. Spacious rooms and common areas. Very nice and cool owners who warmly welcomed even our dog. Very good value and a special experience for our family!

Hinta-laatusuhde hyvä. Huoneessa 30 astetta lämmintä, joten tehokkaampaa viilennystä olisin kaivannut. Myös valmis aamiaisnahdollisuus omatoimiaamiausen sijaan olisi ollut kiva.
