Ystävällinen, iloinen palvelu. Monipuolinen aamiainen ja erinomainen aamukahvi. Siisti ja lämminhenkinen sisustus. Rauhallinen hotelli lähellä kaikkea. Lämmin suositus.
Mukava kokemus hienossa hotellissa. Todella upeat maisemat ja huoneemme oli päivitetty parempaan veloituksetta. Se oli positiivinen yllätys. Huone oli siisti ja hiljainen. Aamulla yläkerrasta kuului hieman aamupalasta ääniä mutta se ei haitannut. Yleiset tilat oli rauhalliset ja oli rentouttavaa istua viinilasillisen ääressä ja katsoa maisemia takkatulen ääressä.
Rec vastaanotto kymppi.
Lappi-illallinen liki kymppi, monipuolinen ja paikallisuus erinom esillä, poronkäristystä voisi kokki hiukan viilata perinteiseksi.
Tarjoilupalvelu ja koko palvelukokonaisuus erinomaista.
Siisteys kymppi, tätä arvostan "isosti"!!!
Uusittu sauna kympoi!!

Gemütliche Unterkunft
Hotel ist schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen, aber trotzdem gemütlich. Frühstück war vielfältig. Super Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge in die umliegenden Nationalparks. Sehr schnelle Internetleitung ermöglicht das mobile arbeiten.
Lämmin ilmapiiri ja siisti hotelli. Ilmainen parkkipaikka hotellin edessä. Lähellä (muutaman kilometrin päässä) Rukan keskustaa. Mahdollisuus saunoa halutessaan (poreallas ei ollut käytössä). Ihana, rentouttava takkahuone jonka isoista ikkunasta upea näkymä. Aamiainen monipuolinen ja herkullinen.
Siskoni kanssa haluttiin irtiottoa arjesta ja vietettiin viikonloppu Rukalla. Hotellihuone oli iso ja mukava ja Ikkunasta oli upeat näköalat. Palvelu oli erinomaista. Hiihtoladut oli vieressä. Kun tultiin hiihtämästä niin päästiin melkein heti saunaan vaikka virallinen sauna-aika ei vielä ollutkaan.
Loistava hotellit, edullisesti! Sängyt olivat hieman liian pehmeät kyllä!

Erinomaisem ystävällinen ja mukava henkilökunta. Hyvin siivottu! Hyvät sängyt. Hiukan vanha rakennus eli kulunut mutta muuten oikein hyvä ja kodikas paikka!
Kaksi yötä Rukalla ja todella miellyttävästä hotellissa. Palvelu oli erittäin ystävällistä ja ruoka hyvää. Koko hotelli on mukavan kompakti ja viihtyisä kokonaisuus. Vierailusta jäi hyvä mieli.
