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.

Hotelli itsessÀÀn oli viihtyisÀ. YöllÀ huoneessa oli kuitenkin aivan ÀlyttömÀn kuuma (huoneessa olevan mittarin mukaan 26 astetta), vaikka ulkona oli viileÀÀ. Ilmanvaihto vaikutti olevan pois pÀÀltÀ (ei kuulunut huminaa venttiileistÀ ennen kuin vasta seuraavana aamuna), ja paikalla ei ollut henkilökuntaa, jolle ilmoittaa asiasta. Hieman helpotti, kun irrotti tuuletusikkunasta hyttysverkon, jotta ilma pÀÀsi vaihtumaan. Aamiainen oli laadukas. HÀiritsi, ettÀ henkilökunnalla tuntui olevan jotakin krÀnÀÀ ja jotkut istuivat yksinÀÀn omissa pöydissÀÀn salin toisella puolella.

Kalevala-hotelli on helmi Suomen hotellien joukoss

Patjat alkoivat olla loppuun nukuttuja, varsinkin toinen sÀnky oli istuttu reunaltaan niin luiskaksi, ettÀ patja pyrki valumaan pois sÀngystÀ. Wi-Fi toimi hyvin huonosti. Suhtautuminen koiraan oli kiitettÀvÀÀ. Se, ettÀ huoneesta oli pelkkÀ ovi naapurihuoneeseen, orjuutti koiranomistaajaa: hÀiritseekö koiran haukkuminen naapurihuoneen asukasta. Aamiainen oli hyvÀ, samoin ala carte-annokset, jotka söimme. Sauna oli hyvÀ. YmpÀristö oli kuin suoraan satukirjasta.

Luontoa ja rauhaa

Vietimme kaksi yötÀ hotellissa, viihdyimme oikein hyvin ja paikassa oli tÀllÀ kertaa rauhallista. Saunassa ja ulkoporeammeessa tuli kÀytyÀ molempina iltoina ja Talvisotamuseo joka sijaitsee aivan naapurissa on suosituksen arvoinen. Hotellilla on oma ranta josta pÀÀsee hyvin uimaan, ranta on loivahko ja rappuset takaisin saunalle/altaille. Aamiaisvalikoima ei ollut valtava mutta tÀysin riittÀvÀ ja laadukas, vÀhemmÀn on joskus enemmÀn. Emme itse nyt kÀyttÀneet mutta kuulimme muilta vierailta ettÀ 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.
