Nice hotel by the beautiful lake Kallavesi, good service and food, clean modern rooms and wonderful scenery by the lake. Good possibilities for jogging
One of the many trips to this hotel. Staff is friendly and dillingent. Rooms are clean and quiet. Spa and gym are OK. I wish that there will be more vegan options for breakfast.
Fantastic winter location on the frozen lake - walk out the back door to skate or ski

Barely okayish
The hotel looks a bit like an outdated 90's cruise ship. There have been updates but basically too much bling bling. Had a premium room, which looked like a standard room with lake view. Glass wall inn the shower was dirty and during the whole stay (4 nights) there was no proper cleaning. No new coffee cups, no clean wine glasses. Breakfast was okayish, don't know how do they do their bacon but those felt more like beef jerky. Otherwise not too busy. Felt disappointed and probably looking for another hotel for my next visit.
Hotel ubicado a 10-15’ caminando del centro. Habitación amplia y cama cómoda. Fuimos con un perrito y le trataron como un rey!
El desayuno no está mal, pero tampoco es el mejor que hemos probado.
El personal de recepción super agradable.

Henkilökunta oli poikkeuksellisen ystävällistä niin saapuessa kuin lähtiessä. Lämmin kiitos :)
Kaunis järvinaisema huoneesta. Siisti, remontoitu huone. Aamiainen monipuolinen ja hyvä. Hotellin edessä ilmainen kadunvarsiparkkeeraus mahdollisuus. Kävelyetäisyys torista eli keskustasta.

Pieni pettymys uudelleenvierailulla
Aamiainen maistui kauniissa järvimaisemassa. Kesällä tarjotut kalavaihtoehdot leikkelepöydässä olivat vaihtuneet maksapateeseen. Se harmitti. Hotellihuone oli siisti, mutta en tiennyt varausta tehdessä ettei huoneessa ole vedenkeitintä ja teepusseja. Veden laatu oli edelleen yhtä huono. Kloori maistui hyvin voimakkaasti. Tämä tuntuu järvien keskellä kummalliselta. Myös parkkeeraamisesta hotellin ruutuihin oli yllättäen tullut maksullista. 10 e yö on aika paljon. Tätä ei infottu ulkona millään tavalla. Vanhana vieraana ajoin ruutuun ja vasta tiskillä selvisi että siitä maksettava. Myös reseptionisti oli tästä pahoillaan vaikka ei sitä sanoin ilmaissut.
Ensi kerralla yöpyessäni Kuopiossa joudun kullä harkitsemaan hotellin vaihtoa. Toisaalta aamupalan vuoksi voisin tullakin. Se oli hyvä.

Ilmainen pysäköinti on hintaansa arvokkaampi
Huone jo remontin tarpeessa.
Pysäköinti harmillisesti muutettu maksulliseksi. Yksi pieni mutta mukava vetovoimatekijä pois.
Hyvä paikka hotellille, josta pääsee suoraan rannalle. Kaupungin keskustaan ihan kohtuullinen matka kävellä ja vanhan kaupungin talojen takia se kannattaakin.
Hotellin huone oli oikein toimiva ja ehkä jonkinlainen yleiset asiat pahvilappu olisi pöydällä ihan jees. Esim. Ne aamupalajat, saunat ja kuntosalit.
