    “- Sehr schöne Hütte im East Village mit Schaukelstuhl und in der Küche mit den wichtigsten Dingen ausgestattet - Sehr ruhig - Heizung, die individuell eingestellt werden kann - Sauna in der Hütte - Sehr gutes Internet, Geschwindigkeit und Empfang super - Sehr freundliche und bemühte Mitarbeiterinnen - Super gelegen wenn man z.B. auf den Kiilopää wandern will - Es war sehr schön hier und ich würde wiederkommen, allerdings sollte es einfach eine Option ohne Frühstück zu einem günstigeren Preis geben”

  • Niet voor herhaling vatbaar!

    “A pesar de llegar fuera del horario de recepción (de 9am -17pm), el personal del hotel nos dejó todas las indicaciones preparadas para nuestra llegada. Fue muy fácil llegar a la cabaña y nos encantó la experiencia. Tuvimos la suerte de que nos asignaron una cabaña superior sin ningún coste adicional. Disponiamos de sauna privada en nuestro baño y estaba muy bien equipado. Destacar la tranquilidad de la zona. Muy recomendable!”
