“Good budget alternative”

Uusikuu is an unmanned hotel. You access your room with a pin-code you get when reserving/paying. There are no services, that is part of the deal.

Uusikuu is an unmanned hotel. You access your room with a pin-code you get when reserving/paying. There are no services, that is part of the deal. Reservation staff was friendly, rooms clean, shower drainage not so effective so the toilet floor got flushed. But basically - you get what you pay for, this is a no-promises alternative so no complaints. It is a bitt off centre so you need a car.

“ Great value, clean and quiet, close to the centre!”

Uusikuu is a hotel with no reception, breakfast or any other services requiring the presence of staff. You receive a door code after you have booked and paid and you are ready to go. The room was spacious, clean the place is really quiet, windows facing beautiful pine forest. The city centre is just about 1,5 km walk away. Considering the cheap price for the room, this is really good value for money.

“Good, but troubles ahead if you book through Booking.com”

Basic but sufficient, this low cost operated, not visibly staffed hotel was a new experience to us: no staff around, just a code access that allows you into your room, ...if codes are sent previously.

Basic but sufficient, this low cost operated, not visibly staffed hotel was a new experience to us: no staff around, just a code access that allows you into your room, ...if codes are sent previously. The overall impression is outstanding, and considering the low price, is even better. This hotel gives you an inexpensive opportunity to explore surrounding areas on radial day trips like Savonnlina. A little bleak on an external close inspection: exposed concrete building and outdoors corridors as if in a Motel 6 . Some of the customers, idly smoking in the outdoor halls, enhance this gloomy panorama, being some of them low cost travellers, just like us. But don't let this disappoint you in any way.The rooms are spacious and offer a medium size fridge and microwave, plus reasonable amenities such as free wifi and hair drier. Trey are reasonable clean and quality of sleep is good. We arrived around 10 pm and nobody was around the premises to let you know how to get the room code access: none of the phone numbers shown were responsive and, as in a tragicomedy, he could overhear the phones ringing inside the deserted dark offices. Had it not been by the phone assistance of Nancy (of Booking international helpdesk) we'd be still there being assaulted by mosquitoes, waiting four our codes. Well, thanks too to the anonymous Russian customer who told us who to open the small office where they have a computer and more Phone numbers to try and get some help. It's a pity that Booking had not answered our three previous emails (sent some weeks ahead) requesting they send us the code access. This is more flagrant as Nancy proved that they had them already: they simply ignored our request, pretending the email went to the spam folder, which I checked permanently. And even the hotel staff (that had charged us the total amount of our stay weeks ahead too) simply ignored the letter we sent them. A little spooky if you considered for a moment what might happend in case of emergency but luckily this is Finland, not Rio.

“Good price and okay room”

The hotel is okay, our room was clean and with enough space for four persons. The price is very good, much cheaper than other nearby options. The place is little outside city center, but it is walkable. Also great, that the parking is free.
