Great location, heated attached garage!!!

Good location in the heart of Kajaani. Room was nicer than expected - bathroom was gorgeous, room was small but fine. Wifi was too weak to stream Netflix, fine, but otherwise a winner. Best part - it was -35C but had zero concerns as my car was in an attached heated garage for 8 euros that kept it at around 2C. After a freezing cold trip, thank you!

Decent vegan breakfast. Grocery stores within a walking distance. No minibar/fridge in standard rooms. Sauna is on until 9pm, the way there can be a bit tricky. Radiator in my room was not working (yet) so the room was a bit too chilly for my taste. Couldn’t adjust the AC. You can get excellent customer service from some of the staff though which compensates the minor flaws of the room. Thanks again for great customer service in the evening of 23.9.

Confirmation weekend

The hotel was out of date and could use an upgrade. The hallway smelled like an old bar or worse. Inside the room we were alright opened the window for fresh air but sadly no air condition for warm days. We stayed 2 nights. We came from the Lahti area. For our Godsons confirmation. The guide on the tv did not show what was going to be playing or what was showing. Not very good instructions in English for where the sauna was or if we could use that.

Nice, friendly hotel in the middle of Kajaani

Nice and clean hotel. Little bit narrow but short corridoor to the elevator can be difficulties if many luggages, wheel chair or baby chair etc with many people. Good breakfast. The gym is situated about 150 m away and need a different card which I did not get. The clerk at reception told me about and I found out the room key card is valid. It was not.

Hotelli oli siisti ja hiljainen. Hotelli oli keskeisellä paikalla ja parkkihalli aivan vieressä. Kylpyhuoneen kokonaisvalaistus oli hämärä. Peilin molemmin puolin hyvin himmeät lampetit, jotka oli asennettu niin matalalle, ettei niistä ollut apua peiliin katsoessa. Suurentava peili oli asetettu toisen lampetin eteen eli peittäen edelleen valaistusta. TV:n toiminnassa oli pulmia. Aamiainen oli vaatimaton. Hinta ei vastannut tarjottua tasoa. Isommalla paikkakunnalla yövyin heti perään, myös Sokos hotellissa, mutta edullisemmin.

Erityisen hyvää oli reipas ja ystävällinen henkilökunta. Ravintola-alue oli hyvin suunniteltu, toimiva ja kaunis. Avoin keittiö oli kiva. Ruoka oli oikein maistuvaa ja suklainen jälkiruoka ihana.

Loistava hotellikokemus!

Erittäin miellyttävä majoituskokemus. Hotellihuone oli erittäin hyvä sekä tilava. Saunassa hyvät löylyt. Huonepalvelu pelasi hyvin ja ruoka oli loistavaa. Vierailussa parasta oli ystävällinen ja avulias henkilökunta.

Piristävä parin yön kulttuuriviikonloppu.

Mukava hiljainen huone. Aamiainen oli monipuolinen ja hotellin sijainti loistava. Todella kiva, että huoneesta löytyi vedenkeitin ja teetä, kahvia ja kaakaota. Television käyttö oli konstikasta ja hieman vaikeaa, mutta katselutarve täyttyi kyllä.
