Rentouttava ja kaunis hotelli
Mukava kokemus hienossa hotellissa. Todella upeat maisemat ja huoneemme oli pÀivitetty parempaan veloituksetta. Se oli positiivinen yllÀtys. Huone oli siisti ja hiljainen. Aamulla ylÀkerrasta kuului hieman aamupalasta ÀÀniÀ mutta se ei haitannut. Yleiset tilat oli rauhalliset ja oli rentouttavaa istua viinilasillisen ÀÀressÀ ja katsoa maisemia takkatulen ÀÀressÀ.
Kaikki sujui hienosti. KysymÀllÀ onnistui myös myöhÀinen uloskirjautuminen.

Palvelu osattiin
Rec vastaanotto kymppi.
Lappi-illallinen liki kymppi, monipuolinen ja paikallisuus erinom esillÀ, poronkÀristystÀ voisi kokki hiukan viilata perinteiseksi.
Tarjoilupalvelu ja koko palvelukokonaisuus erinomaista.
Siisteys kymppi, tÀtÀ arvostan "isosti"!!!
Uusittu sauna kympoi!!

GemĂŒtliche Unterkunft
Hotel ist schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen, aber trotzdem gemĂŒtlich. FrĂŒhstĂŒck war vielfĂ€ltig. Super Ausgangspunkt fĂŒr AusflĂŒge in die umliegenden Nationalparks. Sehr schnelle Internetleitung ermöglicht das mobile arbeiten.
