Older hotel with lots of character, Very clean

My husband and I went on a small trip just to get away. I’ve never heard of the hotel before but it looked interesting and we chose it to be where we would stay. Was totally positive experience, hotel is older but very clean. We’ve stayed at newer hotels that had an awful smell in the lobby and in the halls this hotel smelled nothing. No bad aroma no hints of old. Breakfast was good Good not as much geared towards American travelers but still good. In the bar We got to hear pretty good band playing, they also had open mic between band songs and some of the open performers were amazing singers and musicians. Highly recommend this hotel great location, great service, very clean, overall very positive

Nostalgic or old-fashioned - your choice!

The hotel is a time-warp place - back 50 years in style, decor, rooms, building!
It is a matter of taste if you like it or not. The place certainly needs an upgrade, but it will be difficult to change the rooms. They are small, especially the bathroom is dismally tiny.

Interesting Older Hotel

This is an older hotel in Kemi Finland. It has something of a '50's feel to it. That is not a negative comment, it is very well maintained, and the people on the staff were friendly and professional. It was clean and the free breakfast was excellent. I noticed that the local policemen also stop in for breakfast sometimes. The price for a night was fair, and I would stay there again if I was in the area.

Hotel was beautiful, with love and good taste renovated. Just the air condition in the room could have been better. The reception staff was nice too.
The personnel in the restaurant seemed to belong to another type of hotel, they were not very interested on serving ppl. Also the menu looked great, same old style as the whole hotel, but the final result was not that good...

Overall a decent choice. Nice staff and restaurant

To be fair, I don't believe there were a lot of options in this small town. The main attraction was the Ice Castle. If you aren't going to stay there for the novelty of it, overall this hotel was nice enough and the staff were really lovely. It was convienient for a one night stay and only about 10-15 minute walk from the Ice Castle. Another plus was that some of the tours had a standard pickup from here as well. As most of the hotels in the town, they were just older and few amenities.

Read the Fine Print

Should have made arrangements with the property for the access code at the time of booking as I could not rouse anyone using the keypad on the outside. Ended up going to another hotel and have them contact the hotel so I could get in. A bit odd not to have staff at least into early hours of the evening to manage check-ins.

The Oldest Hotel in Kemi

This hotel has a lot of character and charm. I stayed there while traveling on vacation March 18 - March 22, 2014. The front desk was very helpful and always answered all my question with a smile, no matter how many I asked. The breakfast was served on the 3rd floor and they offered a lot of cold and hot items to choose from as well as fresh cut fruit. My room on the 4th floor, 426 I think, was large and warm with facilities to make coffee or tea as well as a mini bar. Plenty of free TV channels in English as well as pay channels. Everything is very close as the city is small so you won't get lost walking about. There is a supermarket right across the street as well as a Subway. Since I don't travel with anything I don't want to lose, there is a laptop in the restaurant near the front desk that is free to use. I was leaving very early in the AM so a cab was booked for men, for the 10 minute ride to the airport, the night before and I was offered either a breakfast to take away or a cold breakfast to eat in the bar. I will stay at the Hotel Merihovi again, the next time I visit Kemi.

Great hotel near everything

While the hotel is a bit old, it is well maintained, has friendly staff and is right in the middle of town, just 10 minutes walk from the station, 5 min from cafes / restaurants and about 10 min from the harbour area. The better rooms have a sauna in them and the restaurant within the hotel is very good and reasonably priced. In winter make sure you check out the ice hotel and the Sampo ice breaker cruise.

Overnight - Good service dated decor

One thing I will say first is the staff were excellent in helping with enquiries before our arrival, communicating with our transport when our flight was delayed, and when we arrived about the area.

Decor seemed dated. To enter bathroom you needed to step up in to it. The tiles in the bathroom seemed in good condition but the paint was peeling on the last 10cm of the door trimmings. There was a foaming soap dispenser at the bathroom basin and in the shower. The shower had no light fixture and was a little dim. The design required you to see from the celing light (situated over the toilet and basin) that would try to pass through the shower curtain.

Breakfast had a good array of food compared to other hotels we stayed at in Finland (stayed at Arctic SnowHotel and Glass Igloo Hotel in Finland also). The chairs at the breakfast hall seemed a little worn with varnished wood chipped or wearing. They could consider chair covers to give a better look.

Question is: would I stay here again if I were to go back to Kemi for just one night? I would probably see how Hotel Cumulus Kemi goes but this hotel would be my second choice as there isn't too many options.

Excellent service, but hotel to be renovated

The hotel is a good location at less than 10 minutes walking from the train station. It is also very close to same supermarket. The staff is extremely kind. We arrived with the train at 06:27AM from Helsinki and at 06:50 AM we already got the room without extra charging, 7 hours before the normal check in time. And before to go to the room we were also offered of a breakfast without extra recharging too. It's also good the fact to have a pub in the ground floor of the hotel (not noisy at all). Pity that the rooms really need some renovation in the furniture (old) and also the cleaness could be improved. But in general we would go back in Merihovi hotel for a reasonable price. PS: the hotel is a good base for eventual excursion with icebreaker Sampo.
