Merenkurkun Majatalo Oy — Hotel in Vaasa sub-region

At the end they charged us only for one room (instead of 2), but even that was too much. Thus strongly NOT...

The room was very simple, no TV but had an en-suite bathroom. Anyway it was a clean and comfortable small room. Very cute :)||There is a TV in the main building and a bar too. The breakfast was plentiful but for my taste it started little bit too late, at 9am. ||The owner was very nice and helpful. I'd stay again. The Björkby is near by as well as the Salteriet cafe&restaurant, Saltkaret obseration tower and Bodvattnet runt. ||I'm torn with average and very good but perhaps it's...
