The hotel is located on the territory of a highly professional training center in Finland. Conveniently located in relation to various sports infrastructure facilities: a year-round ski tunnel with equipment rental services and a sporting goods store, a biathlon shooting range, a bowling alley, a swimming pool, a lake, a football field, a golf course, a tennis court, a ski lift, ski jumps, a forest park with roller ski trails laid on hilly terrain and hiking trails, and in winter - with cross-country skiing. All of the above is within walking distance of the hotel. The forest park area of ​ ​ the complex is kept in perfect condition. The hotel is modern, actually new. It offers residents - sauna, gym, bike rental, beauty treatments and massages. Perfect cleanliness everywhere. Spacious rooms with high-quality interior decoration are equipped with showers, bidets, air conditioning, mini-bar, safe, large plasma TV, telephone, wired Internet. The suites have an iron, electric kettle, bathrobes, slippers. Meals in the restaurant - buffet breakfast - a large selection of hot dishes, pastries, cold snacks, dairy dishes and fruits. The main users of the training center's services are professional athletes from different countries, including Russia, and pupils of children's sports schools. However, there is also a significant contingent of sports fans who just want to relax in an ecologically clean, picturesque place and maintain their health, lose weight, thanks to Nordic walking with ski poles and other sports.
Disadvantages of the hotel 1. Extremely difficult to get to. From Helsinki by train - 6 hours. From Kouvola - 5.5 hours. The train schedule from Kouvola does not coincide with the arrival of the Lev Tolstoy train from Moscow, so passengers have to wait 4.5 hours in Kouvola. Upon arrival, you have to take a taxi from the railway station, because. The bus schedule to the hotel does not match the train schedule.
2. There is no developed infrastructure in Vuokatti - there is no supermarket and currency exchange, so you need to bring a supply of food with you for the first time.

3. Sokos Vuokatti has 2 restaurants: Amarillo and Kippo. The first of them, quite expensive, but does not offer traditional Finnish dishes, the menu has only one hot fish dish, and the second one opens only at 17 o'clock, does not work on Mondays. There is a fairly wide selection of Finnish dishes, but the prices are clearly too high - the average bill is 40-50 euros, with very small portions. Therefore, I recommend solving the issue of food for lunch and dinner in some other way.
4. In standard rooms there is a ban on the use of their own drinks and products. Guests of this category of rooms should buy bottled water, coffee and tea at the reception. There, the price of one bottle of water 0.5 liters without gas is 2 euros.
5. Alcohol is not sold in Vuokatti. It can only be bought at the restaurant. Or in the room in the mini - bar for an additional fee in a container of 40 milliliters.
