Hyvä hostelli

Huonekuvauksessa ei mainita lainkaan, että huoneessa on vain jaettu wc+kylpyhuone. Tämä olisi ehdottomasti syytä lisätä kuvaukseen. Muuten hostellityyppiseksi majoitukseksi ok, aamupala hyvä ja maisemat yläkerran loungesta hienot.

Mukava vaihtoehto - Nice option

Mukava majoitusvaihtoehto. Huone oli siisti, yksinkertaisesti sisustettu ja omalla kylpyhuoneella. Minibaari-kokoinen jääkaappi oli hyvä lisä. Majatalo sijaitsee hyvässä ja rauhallisessa paikassa mäenhuipulla, josta on helppo lähteä kävellen kiertämään Kotkansaaren puistoja nähtävyyksiä. - Nice option for accommodation. The room was clean, simply decorated and it had a private bathroom. Minibar sized frigde was a nice addition. Guesthouse is located in a quiet place on top of a hill and from there it is really easy to walk around Kotka city to see the parks and do some sightseeing.

Todella siistit huoneet ja rauhallinen majoituspaikka. Huoneessa ei ollut ilmastointia, joten helteellä huone oli todella kuuma. Onneksi yöllä oli viileämpää ja huoneen ikkunan sai auki viilennystä varten. Upea ja rauhallinen ympäristö ja ystävällinen henkilökunta.

Meripäivät

Lämpöisellä säällä huone on kuuma, vaikka käytössä on tuuletin. Televisio olisi plussaa. Itse oman huoneen siivoaminen (roskien vienti, lakanoiden poisto) mielestäni näillä hinnoilla pitäisi kuulua hintaan. Aamupalabuffet erittäin hyvä näin kesällä. Erittäin rauhallinen.

Hyvä sijainti. Kävellen pääsee 15 min keskustaan. Siistit huoneet ja kelpo aamiainen. Kaikista huoneista ei ole merinäköalaa. Bonus sijainnista näkötornin vieressä, jonne kannattaa kiivetä ihailemaan maisemia.

Positiivinen yllätys! Käytännön järjestelyt toimivat hienosti, ja saimme nukuttu hyvät unet. Aamupala oli erittäin hyvä: lapsille mieluisia olivat erityisesti vohvelit, joita sai paistaa itse, ja itse olin positiivisesti yllättynyt gluteenittomien tuotteiden tarjonnasta. Voisin yöpyä täällä toisenkin kerran. Suosittelen.

Asiallinen majapaikka omatoimiselle

Saavuin paikalle autolla vuoden liukkaimpana päivänä. Takavedolla ei pihaan olisi välttämättä päässyt ja lisäksi kävely asemalta kaupungille oli varsin mielenkiintoista, kun liukumäessä oli joitain luisua hidastava hiekanjyväsiä. Paremmalla kelillä tuskin on ongelmaa, mutta asema on oikeasti jyrkän tien päässä, mikä kannattaa huomioida. Olin todennäköisesti ainoa majoittuja, joten talossa ei olisi voinut olla rauhallisempaa. Suihkut, lämmitykset ja muut toimivat moitteettomasti kuten myös kulku tiloihin avainkoodeilla. Keittiössä voi laittaa evästä, mutta itse tyydyin valmiisiin sämpylöihin. Paikka on todella siisti ja historiallensa uskollisesti karu, asiallinen ja pröystäilemätön. Sisustuksen pienet yksityiskohdat kuitenkin murtavat puolustuslaitosmaisuuden tunnelmaa pehmeämpään suuntaan, joten suositellaan muillekin kuin militaristeille. Hieno meriympäristö on tietysti positiivista, mutta tuulistakin siellä ulkona on. Tietynlaista laitosmaista tunnelmaa ja merihenkisyyttä arvostavalle tämä on aivan loistava majapaikka, ainoa haittapuoli tietysti se, että aamiaiset ja muutkin ruuat pitää järkätä itse.
