Ski-Inn PyhäSuites

Τυπικό κατάλυμα της Φιλανδικής Λαπωνίας. Ολα δούλευαν σωστά. Πολύ ευχάριστη διαμονή. Το χειμωνιάτικο τοπίο εντυπωσιακό. Επειδή όμως η πλειονότητα των επισκεπτών επισκέπτονται την Pyha για σκι, να ληφθεί υπόψη ότι η απόσταση από το χιονοδρομικό που είναι και το εμπορικό κέντρο της περιοχής, είναι 4 χλμ και η μετακίνηση χωρίς αυτοκίνητο είναι ένα μικρό πρόβλημα (έχοντας υπόψη και το ισχυρό ψύχος). Για τέσσερα άτομα με ένα μεσαίο αυτοκίνητο καθίσταται πρόβλημα και η μεταφορά του εξοπλισμού, οπότε αναγκαζεσαι να κάνεις ημερήσιες ενοικιάσεις που ανεβάζουν ελαφρά το κόστος.

We'd used the sister apartments of the Ski-Inn Pyha Suites accommodation in Ruka resort, so we kind of knew what to expect, in terms of room configuration, standards and comfort. We'd never been to Pyha resort before, but we had a great week there. The rooms are very simply furnished in the typical 'scandi' style, but they are clean and very comfortable. You have your own sauna, which can take a little effort to get it working, but it's great after a day out in the cold on the slopes. There is also a drying cabinet where you can put your gear overnight to dry out and be lovely and warm in the morning when you go out again. The apartments are well equipped, with a dishwasher, coffee maker, oven, 4 ring hob and toaster. It's here where there is an important traveller tip to share and for future customers of Ski-Inn Pyha Suites to consider when booking. We enjoy self-catering when on holiday and, especially in Finland, eating out can be VERY expensive if you're doing it every night. However, customers need to be aware that Ski-Inn Pyha Suites employs a very strict [and IMO unusual] policy when it comes to the smoke alarm in the apartments. If, for some reason, you happen to accidentally trigger the alarm whilst cooking in the apartment and the fire service is called out [as they invariably will be], then Ski-Inn Pyha Suites will expect you as the customer to pay 990 Euros to cover the cost of the call out. They will invoice you accordingly. There are rules on their website relating to "nuisance calls", but these seem to relate more to malicious triggering of the smoke alarm; e.g smoking or vaping in the room, waxing of skis or snowboards. No mention of using the provided equipment to cook a meal. Sadly this happened to us and we received an invoice from Ski-Inn Pyha Suites 4 days after returning from holiday, which we have since been fighting with them to get cancelled. Which it now has, thankfully. However the whole experience has somewhat soured what was, otherwise a really great holiday. We would also have to seriously reconsider whether we book again at Ski-Inn Pyha or Ruka suites [they have the same policy].

Hyvä kokemus Kyseessä on käytännöllinen perustason majoitus. Suksien säilytys ja huoltopiste ovat kätevät.
