"Our room was very comfortable and light. The helpful reception staff allowed us to check in an hour or two early, which we appreciated. We had a nice dinner in the on-site restaurant, and enjoyed the buffet breakfast as well. Koli is a lovely spot, highly recommended, and you couldn't do much better than staying at the Koli Kyla hotel for your visit."

"clean, small and simple. it was quite small but we only needed a room to shower and sleep so it worked out just fine. Only reason I gave it 4/5 is because it was quite cold in the room with no way to adjust the temperature. Also make sure to pack what you need as well they had one thing of soap for your entire body and that was all. "
