The hotel is located on the shores of Lake Inari, offering stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere. The rooms are extremely comfortable, providing a cozy retreat. The service is top-notch with attentive staff, but the dining options are somewhat lacking. The facilities are modern and well-maintained, enhancing the overall stay.
I had an amazing time at this hotel located on the shores of Lake Inari. The rooms were extremely comfortable, and the service was top-notch. The location was quiet, surrounded by nature, but the dining experience was a bit lacking. Overall, a great value for money stay.
