"This is not by any stretch of the imagination a hotel. It would be generous to describe it as a tired student hall of residence or a cheap backpaper's hostel that has seen better days. The room is stark and very poorly equipped. Advertised for 'self catering' there were no amenities whatsover provided - no crockery or cutlery, no cooking utensils, not even a mug. There was no hair dryer. But worse than the spartan accommodation, the 'curtains' were little more than thin sheets and not all the windows were fully covered. After I complained, some basic kitchen equipment and a hair dryer was provided and the curtains were replaced with something just about adequate. However, as shown in the pictures, one of the windows cannot be covered as there is no mounting rail. The sun rises bright and early in Finland so sleep under these conditions is difficult. I was forced to forage for some black refuse bin liners and create my own black out covering.
All this for the ridiculous charge of €239 per night - for accommodation that would have been over-priced at €50. The hotel - who should be ashamed of themselves for this blatant price-gouging - apologised and we checked out early (one night refunded) and lost one day in this lovely town. It was the Opera Season which explains the cynical approach. Had we not had tickets for 2 performances we would have never have stayed a single night. AVOID!
PS:breakfast is just about adequate in quantity, very average in quality & OJ highly dilute!"
