We came to see the pandas at Ahtari Zoo and were really satisfied with our stay. The hotel is just across the street from the Snowpanda House. The package deal with zoo tickets, swimming pool and accommodation was good. The hotel dates from the 1970's which is apparent in the architecture - I loved it! The rooms are quite basic, but all with a   small wooden terrace facing the beautiful lake. The spa cannot compete with specially-built waterparks but for a hotel swimming pool it was great, especially with kids. The breakfast was OK, and in the evening we were very happy with the restaurant service and food.

Had a great stay with family, the hotel building itself was old and in need of a reno but it was architecturally fascinating and clean. Would love to see it updated and full of guests. Service was friendly and genuine. Spa was nice, left us wondering how great it would be with an outdoor sauna or access to the natural water.

This pretty big place is next door to the animal park, at lakeside. It has been built to a granite hillside, other accommodation options including camping and cottages. Rooms all have verandas and lakeviews, the staff are friendly. School holidays may be different, after them it is pretty peaceful

Old hotel, quite nice location, our room costs 170euros, and that was normal room, where was extra-bed for kids (small sofa) I know this hotel since 1980 century, and i think rooms was same condition, exp new bath...
If You really wan lakewiew experience, ask room for 1.st floor
Staff was good, breakfast basic, parking free.

We only stayed for one night, but liked it. Service and the view are superb at the restaurant as well as food. Easter menu was really delicious. Yes the rooms need renovation, at least bathrooms, then again everything was spotlessly clean and friendly. Overall a nice place to stay next to the zoo.

It was rather cold inside the rooms even despite we swithed on the heating just upon the arrival. The restaurant and the sauna are very good. Not very easy to find the main building. Good view on the lake from the balcony. No slippers in the room, no ash-tray.

Recommendations

Old hotel

Perfect 2-3 day family holiday

Impressive 1970's architecture near nature

Enjoyable mini holiday

Close to the Zoo

This hotel is a retro style, but not in a positive way. Everything is from the 1976…even the furniture of the room, the bathroom tiles and the wall-to-wall carpet. No wifi in the rooms 😂 But there is great potential, though the renovation costs a fortune… The gem is the architucture that connects the nature and the building. But even concrete needs maintenance…

Lots of potential but needs renovation

Hotel is next to the Ähtäri Zoo.
Free parking.
They have bowling, piljard, restaurant, club in the same building.

Reception staff was okay. 

Since half of the hotel is inside a rock, hallway looked nice.

We had a standard twin room on the 1st floor. Kind of expencive for this experience.
Great lake view from the balcony.
Room was an outdated retro room - a piece of Finnish history. Although TV (with chromecast) was new, everything else needs fixing or updating. No minibar/fridge. Bad pillow.
In bathroom there was no shampoo! Only a foam from dispenser, which suits only for body wash.
On the balcony there were screw heads out - use shoes! 

Breakfast was average. Enough for a quick meal.

Overall experience 2/5


If you have no other option...

This hotel aims at mediocrity and hits it squarely. Their guiding line is that TV quote “Not great, not terrible”. The rooms show their age but are clean and mostly in working order. Some have individual AC and useful features like mobile device screen mirroring on TV, but ours wasn’t working.

Thoroughly mediocre

This hotel should have been renovated some 10 years ago at least. Bed has holes in it, shower is dirty and moldy, and some spider webs ... we just skipped it..., corridors and room smell ... and not in a nice way.... overall so bad in a way I've never seen anywhere else in Finland so far. Everything seems old and broken, Way too pricey for the quality. I wish I read the reviews before I got here... never again!!!
