- close to the shops and gas station, - the size of the room is more than enough for one person, - a lot of space for the luggage, - small fridge inside the desk, - good breakfast with many options (worm and cold) but just one option for hot beverage (not so good coffee), - very helpful receptionist.

- no kettle in the room, - no option to control the temperature so it was a little bit cold inside but you can go to the bathroom and it's way warmer there, - strange smell in the hallway but nothing dramatic or annoying, - old furniture and old design of the hotel and rooms, - weak Wi-Fi, - old and non working TV, - when I was checking in the receptions working hours were different, I got my room at the time I needed it but didn't get the info that it's possible as a reply to my request send the day before.

We use this hotel every summer for it's value for money, friendliness, freedom of movement, location, space, views and the retro feel. Also breakfast is totally adequate.

N/ A

We have stayed here many a time, they always treat us like we were part of the family, friendly and unassuming. Location is spot on in the vicinity of the town and fabulous beach, sauna piping hot for the weary traveller. Also beautiful pine forest around the property that gives out dizzying scents and heavenly silence.

Nothing not to like.

Great location and super price-quality ratio. I even like their old fashioned, outdated style. Awesome beach and nature for long walks and the village is close-by. Lovely couple managing the property. The greatest sport ever, Finnish baseball is played 'next door', worth visiting - see Sotkamon Jymy (the club) and Hiukan pesäpallostadion (the venue).

I didn't dislike but must say that the breakfast was more of a quantity, rather than quality, an average level. No air conditioning but this is usually not a problem.

We always love our stay in Tulikettu, it's like coming home to us. It is in it's own unique way quirky and totally retro.

N/A

The location was excellent, breakfast was great - included hot chocolate. Value for money. Only thing missing for us was the piano not being in tune.

Breakfast was quite exclusive. The location is superb.

Reasonably good breakfast. Good central location in Sotkamo next to beach, pesäpallo-stadium and all other services. Location on a hill is also quite beautiful. Good space for parking. You cannot complain about the price for two people.

Hotel seems to be past of its heyday as customers seem to prefer newer hotels in nearby sports resort Vuokatti. Surfaces are worn out. Rooms are old fashioned, least to say. Some details are amusing, for example room was equipped with rather old tube tv and adjacent empty building looked like B-class horror movie setting. Some details however need urgent attention: toilet seat of our room was patched with tape and the wc door was broken. This is a matter of preference, but I found the bed quite uncomfortable. It was difficult to get sleep on hard bed.

There was a few things that does not funktion and the shower cabin was broken. The rrom was too cold to to the fact that the ventilation window could not be completely closen.

Nice beds, warm showers, not to far from the skiing slope

Medioker breakfast Kind of shabby facilities
