This hotel is really worth of money. When we arrived at night there was a helpful lady waiting for us. Staff was excellent and breakfast was stunning. This hotel has its own feeling when you stay there. BIG PLUS: Stunning fitness centre has all equipments that you need.

It was one of the best holidays we have ever had. It was a really magical time. The hotel Hetan Majatalo was lovely and the... More

I have just returned from the Hetan Majatalo where I stayed with my daughter and grandaughter. We had a wonderful Santa trip which would not have been so enjoyable without a good hotel (the Majatalo has been run by the same family since 1924). The rooms were not spacious but with a large mezzanine area with two beds there would... More

This was the best trip I have been on. The plane there was good as we took part in signing Xmas carols which the children loved. The bus trip to the hotels didn't take long and was easy to find.

The hotel Majatalo was tucked away off the main road but was cosy and friendly. The hotel was decorated for x-mas and the gift shop was very reasonable - as there's no other shops in the area. The food was varied and on a self serve basis, much needed warm food after a day with outside activities. The search for... More
