ホテリ メシケンメン オイ(Hotel Mesikämmen)

Hotel is next to the Ähtäri Zoo. Free parking. They have bowling, piljard, restaurant, club in the same building. Reception staff was okay. Since half of the hotel is inside a rock, hallway looked nice. We had a standard twin room on the 1st floor. Kind of expencive for this experience. Great lake view from the balcony. Room was an outdated retro room - a piece of Finnish history. Although TV (with chromecast) was new, everything else needs fixing or updating. No minibar/fridge. Bad pillow. In bathroom there was no shampoo! Only a foam from dispenser, which suits only for body wash. On the balcony there were screw heads out - use shoes! Breakfast was average. Enough for a quick meal. Overall experience 2/5

Had a great stay with family, the hotel building itself was old and in need of a reno but it was architecturally fascinating and clean. Would love to see it updated and full of guests. Service was friendly and genuine. Spa was nice, left us wondering how great it would be with an outdoor sauna or access to the natural water.

The rooms are extremely old and require renovation. No cleaning in 4 days.

Worst hotel i have ever visited. We have visited this place for about ten years every summer. Why? Because of the Zoo that is located next to the hotel. That is the only thing that keeps this hotel alive. Without kids i would never stay in this hotel. Every year the hotel gets worse and worse. It is and has been very outdated for a long time. No air conditioning, only few tv channels, the cleaning is bad. I mean very bad. There was so much dust under the beds that it must have not been cleaned for months. (Same thing last year). The silicone seams at the toilet were all looking like something was growing on them and the toilet door has seen some moisture for a long time. The nature around the hotel is beautiful. But there is no reason to stay in this place.

This hotel should have been renovated some 10 years ago at least. Bed has holes in it, shower is dirty and moldy, and some spider webs ... we just skipped it..., corridors and room smell ... and not in a nice way.... overall so bad in a way I've never seen anywhere else in Finland so far. Everything seems old and broken, Way too pricey for the quality. I wish I read the reviews before I got here... never again!!!

Hotel had really bad air and no air conditioning. Old hotel which seems to be falling apart. Balcony and the outside looks that it might break anytime. Room we got first smelled like mold and the air quality was really bad. After complaining we got a room from the first floor which did not smell as bad.

This hotel is a retro style, but not in a positive way. Everything is from the 1976…even the furniture of the room, the bathroom tiles and the wall-to-wall carpet. No wifi in the rooms 😂 But there is great potential, though the renovation costs a fortune… The gem is the architucture that connects the nature and the building. But even concrete needs maintenance…

This pretty big place is next door to the animal park, at lakeside. It has been built to a granite hillside, other accommodation options including camping and cottages. Rooms all have verandas and lakeviews, the staff are friendly. School holidays may be different, after them it is pretty peaceful

The room was straight from 70’s, and the place was dirty without airconditioner. Breakfast was cold and the place were we ate was messy. Wont go there anymore! The spa was disapointment,and hotel guests was allowed go there at 8-10 am for free, ***?
