Poor value for what it is
This is an OK, slightly average hotel, but very overpriced for what it is. The surrounding "Kalevala park" is also frankly neglected, and has surely seen better days. The hotel is in a spectacular natural setting, but there are other signs of under-investment, such as the pier that is close to falling away into the lake. I'm not too fussy a traveller and wouldn't normally mind, but the value for money just isn't here in this case. And sauna -- which is usually open to all guests and included in the room rate at most Finnish hotels, and certainly all hotels in this price category -- is NOT included, as we very unpleasantly found out upon checking out. There was no posting anywhere in the hotel of such "rates" for the sauna, and the hotel staff even cheerfully offered us a sauna turn, without bothering to tell us of the very substantial charge to our bill that would result. That's the sort of behaviour that cannot be forgiven. The cracked, slightly run-down charms of the hotel are real, but the management is less than forthcoming with its guests -- and clearly more interested in fleecing them than investing in the property.

Liked: Cleanliness
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.

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.

Hieman myös hmm...
Hotelli on komealla paikalla. Hieman jo kulahtuneisuutta. Näillä helteillä, ja muulloinkin, pieni jääkaappi huoneessa olisi paikallaan. Saunan aukiolo hieman kiusallinen, auki klo 18-20. Kuitenkin kun tulimme kierrokselta klo 21 maissa, joku pariskunta tuli ehkä saunasta, ainakin heillä oli kylpytakit yllään. Mutta oli hyvä herätä järveä ihaillen.
