Nice and cozy spa hotel with excellent staff

This is a nice and cozy hotel by the lake in beautiful surroundings. The staff was excellent and very helpful in getting the best possible experience in Kuhmo and the area around it. Breakfast was good with home-baked bread. The hotel has a nice spa and sauna area, with an outdoor jacuzzi by the lake. It is very good value for the money.

The biggest negative was the gym. The gym consisted of weights and things, no treadmill,no elliptical, etc. It was also very difficult to get the door unlocked. They would be better off saying there is no gym. Every other feature of the hotel was 4 or 5 star.

Sisään kirjautuminen sujui hienosti myös vastaanoton sulkeutumisen jälkeen. Siisti ja lämmin huone kovasta pakkasesta huolimatta. Erityisen hyvää oli todella kattava, maukas ja hyvin monipuolinen aamiainen, huolimatta erittäin hiljaisesta ajankohdasta ja vaikka vain muutamassa huoneessa taisi tänä yönöä olla asiakas. Lämpimästi suosittelen tätä hotellia myös talven kovimmilla pakkasilla!

Sängyn patja oli selälleni liian kova; selkä kipeytyi. Poreammeet ja sauna olivat hyviä. Hotelli sijaitsee luonnonkauniilla paikalla järven vieressä. Lähellä myös upea harjumaasto ulkoiluun. Huone oli siisti.

Oma suosikkini Kuhmosta, ns. "go-to place". Nautin hiljaisuudesta, luonnon läheisyydestä sekä mahdollisuuksista harrastaa tai tehdä retkiä ympäröivään maastoon. Suosittelen niille jotka etsivät paussia kiireisestä arjesta.

Hotelli itsessään oli viihtyisä. Yöllä huoneessa oli kuitenkin aivan älyttömän kuuma (huoneessa olevan mittarin mukaan 26 astetta), vaikka ulkona oli viileää. Ilmanvaihto vaikutti olevan pois päältä (ei kuulunut huminaa venttiileistä ennen kuin vasta seuraavana aamuna), ja paikalla ei ollut henkilökuntaa, jolle ilmoittaa asiasta. Hieman helpotti, kun irrotti tuuletusikkunasta hyttysverkon, jotta ilma pääsi vaihtumaan. Aamiainen oli laadukas. Häiritsi, että henkilökunnalla tuntui olevan jotakin kränää ja jotkut istuivat yksinään omissa pöydissään salin toisella puolella.

Kalevala-hotelli on helmi Suomen hotellien joukoss

Patjat alkoivat olla loppuun nukuttuja, varsinkin toinen sänky oli istuttu reunaltaan niin luiskaksi, että patja pyrki valumaan pois sängystä. Wi-Fi toimi hyvin huonosti. Suhtautuminen koiraan oli kiitettävää. Se, että huoneesta oli pelkkä ovi naapurihuoneeseen, orjuutti koiranomistaajaa: häiritseekö koiran haukkuminen naapurihuoneen asukasta. Aamiainen oli hyvä, samoin ala carte-annokset, jotka söimme. Sauna oli hyvä. Ympäristö oli kuin suoraan satukirjasta.

Luontoa ja rauhaa

Vietimme kaksi yötä hotellissa, viihdyimme oikein hyvin ja paikassa oli tällä kertaa rauhallista. Saunassa ja ulkoporeammeessa tuli käytyä molempina iltoina ja Talvisotamuseo joka sijaitsee aivan naapurissa on suosituksen arvoinen. Hotellilla on oma ranta josta pääsee hyvin uimaan, ranta on loivahko ja rappuset takaisin saunalle/altaille. Aamiaisvalikoima ei ollut valtava mutta täysin riittävä ja laadukas, vähemmän on joskus enemmän. Emme itse nyt käyttäneet mutta kuulimme muilta vierailta että hotellin kautta voi varata aktiviteetteja mm. karhujen spottausta jne.

Ihmettelyä, kestävästä kierrätyksestä

Tuli sellainen tunne, että lakanoita ei ollut vaihdettu edellisen jäljiltä. Pussilakana käännetty nurinpäin samoin aluslakana. Tyynynliinat vaihdettu. Kylpuhuoneen jalkamattoa ei ollut vaihdettu, oli likainen. Pyysin uuden, jonka sain. Aamiaselle mentäessä, likaisia astioita ei oltu korjattu pois pöydiltä. Eikä niitä korjattu sen aikana, kun olin aamiaisella. Tämä sama toistui kaikkina aamuina. Työntekijät juttelivat keskenään ja kävivät samanaikaisesti aamiasella asiakkaiden kanssa. Odottelin hetken, että pääsin ottamaan kahvimaidon, kun työntekijä sekoitteli teepussiaan ja nojaili pöydän kulmaan. Tuli näkemys, tämä on meidän, ei asiakkaiden. He tuntuivat viihtyvän hyvin. Kerran ihmettelin, kun tulin saunasta. Työntekijä kysyi oliko hyvät löylyt, kerroin että oli mutta unohdin uimapuvun, kun en huomannut että oli poreallas, hän kertoi, että voi lainata heiltä. Tässä ei mitään ihmeellistä. Mutta, näin saman henkilön istuvan baaritiskillä juomassa isoa tuoppia, siitä tiesin, että hän onkin henkilökuntaa. Alussa oli vaikea erottaa, kuka on henkilökuntaa ja kuka asiakkaita. En tiedä oliko se yksi mies vapaaehtoinen, joka kulki hupparissa. Oli kuitenkin jonkinlainen työntekijä. Ihmettelen sitäkin, miksi teillä ei ole lappua oveen, tarviiko joka päivä siivojan käydä huoneessa. Ei kait muutaman yön takia tarvitse käydä joka päivä kysymässä. Kun kuitenkaan ei ollut vaihdettu, edes aiakkaan vaihtuessa. Silmänlumetta
