Karjalan Portti

I slept one night at Karjalan Portti before continuing my bike trip along the beautiful lake Saimaa. The reception was closed as I arrived in the evening, but an envelope with my name and a key waited for me at the front door. I easily found my room and it was nice to see how modern and tidy it was. The rooms are recently renovated and very clean. I would say simple but comfortable, also with a television. Private bathroom in the room, and a shared kitchen in the same building, with fridge, coffee maker and other utilities. In the morning I spoke with the owner while enjoying some of the fresh pancakes at the café in the main building. He was an old and very friendly man. As part of the hotel there is also a car museum and an antique shop. Very much worth a visit, and VERY GOOD VALUE FOR THE MONEY!
