Delicious Dinner

I had a fantastic dinner at the hotel restaurant where the well-seasoned appetizer salad kicked off the meal perfectly. The perfectly cooked steaks left a lasting impression, and the crème brûlée with sherbet was an exquisite dessert to conclude my dining experience.

While the hotel has its quirks and is a bit worn, it offers a surprisingly great breakfast buffet and decent dining experience. The staff was friendly enough, and we enjoyed a quiet night's sleep. However, the rooms are showing signs of age and lack a bit of charm, making it hard to fully recommend unless you find yourself in Varkaus with limited options.
