Tehtaan Hotelli

I stayed one night in single room in Red house. The room was cute and spacious. But it was lacking in the details. There was no place to put down your things like phone, sanitary bag etc. The bathroom did not offer any shampoo which you might expect when you pay over 100 €. Breakfast was ok, but bread was typical supermarket rye bread from day before. There was no sugar, honey, or any other sweetener in the kitchen. There were at least 4 different types of salt though. Again, breakfast not really matching the hotel’s price range. I still will recommend the hotel to anybody travelling in this cute little town. The place is fantastic with the history. Based on this visit I cannot recommend the restaurant. I had waited for long to visit it. It was one of my trip’s main purposes. So, disappointment was quite big. The food was mediocre. Service was non-existent. I asked for water when I ordered my glass of bubbling. It did not come until I asked again when started was delivered. No one ever came to ask me if I was ok or maybe wanted to have more wine. You might think that for the business it would be good to try to sell more. And you cannot blame rush now, the restaurant was nearly empty. After the started I took ages before the main course arrived. When it was delivered, I did not have any cutlery. I had to wait for those. Why were the tables not set in advance? Worst thing anyhow was to atmosphere. It was sunny July evening, but the place felt like October. It was dark, all the window shades were shut, there was fire in the fireplace and room was cold like in winter. I can imagine it all feels very cozy in autumn but in the summer, I would like to enjoy the summer and sun light.

Lovely quaint place just far enough from Helsinki to warrant a hotel stay. Lovely restaurant, we had a great meal. Nice paths to walk in nature with river running by. Swan in the cold cold water in the morning.
