This room was supposed to minimalistic and easy for an overnight stay to break up a trip. It was not easy. I arrived to the property without any information being sent re:accessing my room or the key. The number on the door was incorrect and took me to a person not the hotel. I contacted hotels.com via chat and got a call from someone from the hotel. They gave me the correct to the lockbox and I got my key. Despite only being a few hours after the start of check in, the lobby was locked - which means the elevator was locked. I had looked ahead to ensure it had an elevator so this was incredibly discouraging. We lugged our suitcases up a small spiral, marble and slippery staircase. Our room was simple and clean but lacked more than one outlet. The sink filled upon first use and didn’t really drain. By the time we left we were using the shower to wash our hands. Breakfast was a large spread but the quality of the food was not where I preferred it to be. We ate a few bites and then went back to the room to pack and leave. The elevator was unlocked for our morning departure, which was helpful. I would not stay here again. I would drive from Saariselka to Rovaniemi and skip the overnight. It was like staying in a dorm room. If that’s what you want - you’ll be very happy… provided the sink drains.

Olen vuosien aikana usein yöpynyt hotelli Karhussa ja yleensä ollut varsin tyytyväinen. Siistiä toki oli, mutta huomautettavaakin: huoneessani oli saapuessani useita lamppuja palanut, jotka toki pian vaihdettiin, kun huomautin asiasta respaan. Muutaman päivän jälkeen suihkussa ollessani suihkun suutin irtosi vesiletkusta ja lisäksi hanan nuppi, jolla säädellään, tuleeko vesi hanasta vai suihkun suuttimesta, irtosi. Huoneessani oli vain 1 roskis vessassa ja se oli liian pieni. Maanantaina 15.6. piti aamupalalle mennä eri hotelliin, kun itse Karhussa sitä ei silloin järjestetty. Säästölinjaa?

Huone oli siisti, mutta yleisilmeeltään hieman kulahtanut. Illalla hotellissa ei ole saatavilla palveluita. Aamupala oli hyvä. Hinta-laatusuhde ei kuitenkaan ollut kohdillaan.

Kaikki ok

Perustason huone, ei mitään hienouksia mutta siistiä. Sänky oli omaan makuun turhan pehmeä, mutta sehän on makuasia. Aamiainen kuten odotinkin. Keskeinen sijainti kylällä hyvä. Luvattu kolmen tähden kokemus.

Das Hotel und auch die Zimmereinrichtung sind in die Jahre gekommen. Es war sauber, aber eine Renovierung wäre angebracht.
Das Essen zu Abend im Restaurant war sehr gut.
Auch das Frühstücksbüfett ließ keine Wünsche offen.

Kelpo yö

Vanhanaikainen kohde. Kulumaa kaikkialla pinnoissa. Perus mulavuudet kuitenkin löytyivät. Tyynyn voisi pikkuhiljaa vaihtaa oli muhkurainen. Sesonkiajasta huolimatta melko kallis yöhinta. Ohiajoa varten kuitenkin ihan ok.

Hotellet er ubetjent og stengt! vi brukte mye tid og telefoner på å finne ut hvordan vi kunne sjekke inn - i nabohotellet. Det var ikke greit.
Frokost var i nabohotellet fra kl 07 til 09. Vi trodde det var til kl 10…. så det rakk vi ikke!
