Hotel Seurahuone — Hotel in Kokkola sub-region

After a lengthy what-where and so on, we decided to have a family get-together at Seurahuone. Minuses first (very few): some pieces of furniture may be a bit outdated. Same with the lift - but it works.||It was very easy to make arrangements with the friendly staff, via email, phone, or on the spot.
