it is really scandinavian hotel, but nice view from the rooms, clean and calm. But windows can not be opened because of security. this makes feeling like in prison.

We found this hotel via an internet search. It is about a mile and a half from the center of town but is not out of the way.

Very friendly front desk staff, very clean rooms, the hotel appears very modern but the rooms are a bit dated. Outstanding indoor pool and sauna. Very nice breakfast included with the room rate.

Taxi Cabs in Finland are VERY expensive. There is a bus stop just about 40 yards outside the front door that is very efficient and easy to use to get to the train station or airport.

I stayed in Scandic Rosendahl with my family for a night. Room is large enough to fit in two extra beds without being too cramped. With Scandic you always know what you get and Rosendahl is no exception. Facilities are good, breakfast is good and short waiting at reception. Rosendahl is better than an average Scandic when it comes to the large parking areas close to hotel and own tennis courts. Even though the distance to city centre is not that far it really feels that you are in the country side when you arrive at Rosendahl. Hotel is located on the beach of the large lake and surrounded by forest. No other buildings around. This location makes it less convenient to take a walk in the city centre or just go out and eat others than hotel food.

Stayed again for business. Updated pros and cons.
