Break Sokos Hotel Koli

This was my second visit here with my family. We drove here for 5 and a half hours,it is well worth the drive. We arrived and got our room which was spacious and cosy with a view overlooking the lake. There was fun little details in the room like the mood rock and eye relaxing stones in the fridge. There was also white and red wine and sparkling wine waiting for extra charge. We got into our complimentary robes and flipflops and went to the spa. The spa fee included packages with Lumene spa products that could be changed for sparkling wine and alcohol free drinks for our teenagers. The spa is small but very relaxing with differents showers,saunas and a steam room, a cold pool and outside tub and lounge areas. The best is the pool with underwater classical music. There is a beautiful view overlooking the lake from the spa windows. After the spa we had a nice dinner in the restaurant,prices are mid range. After dinner we climbed to Ukko-Koli to see the sunset at ten pm. It was breathtaking with birds singing in the backround. The next morning we had a great breakfast. The breakfast buffet is good quality with multiple choises and locally produced products. This was a totally relaxing trip with calm and quiet surroundings. The next day was saturday and there was a lot more guests,so it was not so quiet.

You come for the views - especially the view from the terrace over the lakes is truly breathtaking. Unfortunately our room on the first floor didn’t have much of a view - maybe it’s better from the upper floors. Room was pretty basic and had dirt on the floor and nails sticking out the door frame (from an amateurish fixed cable). Breakfast is Finnish standard with the addition of a chocolate fountain, but staff stops replenishing food about 1 h before breakfast is over. The sitting in the restaurant is generally nice, but withered flowers on the tables are mother sign of bad management. So with slightly better management and a bit attention to detail this could be a much better experience. Car needs to be parked at the public parking down the hill, which is free, but can get very crowded. The public parking also as 10 EV chargers

If you want to feel like a Royal from checkin and get so spoiled with the scenic views and food so good it makes you emotional, look no further, this is where you should stay. We had a superiorX room facing the "wrong" side but trust me when I say the view is just as stunning there. Super tidy and clean and a bed so comfortable you start wondering if its worth it to take a bank loan to buy the same one for home... Just book it and thank yourself afterwards. Even the playlists in The restaurant is so spot on perfect for the enviorment. The spa is wonderful and so relaxing, recommended to go after 20 when the age limit is 18. This is a gem you need to visit. We will come back again, thats for shure

Excellent hotel with beatiful views. Spa was really nice and quiet atleast in middle of the week, also the staff was very positive! Room was great with scenic nature view. There was a prime minister fireplace near the hotel and it was well kept during winter time. I recommend higly visiting there, and you can buy some firewood from the reception. Hotel restaurant was a bit over priced in my opinion.

Visited here Oct2023 and probably missed a lot because of snowstorm + cloudy weekend. National Park starts from door and is amazing like they always are. Hotel itself is proper but serves nothing special. Spa was closed and rooms were just standart. Restaurant was okay (normal S-group selection). Positive thing was hand-made karelian pies - dont give these away...
