This is a nice little hotel. We stayed here as part of a tour. It is near to lots of eating places and shops and it's near to a lake, so it's nice to take a stroll around the area. We had a comfortable stay

Thank you for Your review. We have floor heating in every bathroom, but I think that in Your room either it was too low or it was switched off. I´m sorry for the inconvenience this caused You, but I hope that otherwise You enjoyed Your say with us. With best regards, Tiina Määttä Hotel Manager More
