Outstanding and well executed renovation of a historical jail with incredible spa pool experience

Nice hotel, little bit off the town. Room was nice though understandably quite little due previous use. Slept well, breakfast was just like on any other hotel, except no cappuccino.
Strong recommendation for nearby Restaurant Kakolanruusu rather than hotel restaurant!

Fantastic hotel with history and charm. Excellent breakfast. The spa was unique, relaxing, and the best I've been to. I recommend adding that on with the Ringing foot bath.

Gepflegtes sauberes Hotel.
Ansprechende Zimmer.
Frühstück in einem ungemütlichem Kellerraum mit viel Luft nach oben.

Me nautimme parvekkeellisesta tilavassa huoneestamme ja erityisesti olin kiitollinen kylpyammeesta, jollaista olin toivonutkin. Puhelimessa ohjattiin kirjaamaan toive tilaukseen jolloin he voivat priorisoida toiveen huoneita jaettaessa.
Miinuksena sanoisin heikon vedenpaineen, jonka vuoksi ammeen täyttö oli hidasta. Myös kattovalojen toimimiseen olisimme kaivanneet kirjallisia ohjeita nappuloiden luokse. Kokeilemalla ja testaamalla saatiin kyllä valot päälle. Onneksi alkuun oli ulkona valoisaa.
Olin yllättynyt positiivisesti, miten hyvin ekologisuus oli kaikessa otettu huomioon. Myös historian näkyminen oli kiva juttu.
Kiitos upeasta vuorokaudesta arkea paossa oleville.

Hyväkuntoinen hotelli jonka läheltä löytyi parkkihalli sähköauton latauksella. Aamulla oli mukava jatkaa kun autossa akut täynnä. Hyväkuntoinen hotelli hyvällä aamupalalla.
Mukana kaksi vierasta Ruotsista. Mukava erikoisuus tuoda vieraat vanhaan vankilaan josta remontoitu erittäin siisti hotelli.

Tällä kertaa yhden hengen huone oli todella meluissa kohtaa. Äänet kuuluvat huoneeseen käytävältä ihan tyhjää vain. Siisteys ja aamiainen erinomaiset

Auf jeden Fall ein eigenes Flair. Zimmer, Frühstück, wir waren sehr zufrieden. Den Wellnessbereich konnten wir leider nicht nützen. Sonntag Schluss um 19 Uhr, leider gab es abends auch keinen Kaffee rundherum. Hotel sehr empfehlenswert wenn man mit Auto unterwegs ist. Wir kamen mit der Bahn, zu Fuss mit den Koffern ein Stück bergauf war mühsam. Öffentliche Verkehrsmittel nicht gefunden. Trotzdem ein schöner Aufenthalt.
