Skotel is conveniently located and our second stay for the ski fields. Check-in is unmanned before 3pm with earlier arrivals invited to wait in the bar, which is also unmanned at that time. Dinner seems to be limited to 2 hours between 6-8pm but the food is quite good when available. The hotel was noisy with the late hour conversation from a neighbouring room resonating through the walls. Guests children seemed to use the corridors as a playground, running, yelling and screaming into the evening. Seems a very casual hotel with very casual standards

I stayed in the backpackers side in my own room with a very comfortable bed, heaters & washbasin. Communal facilities were kept clean & tidy, staff were kind and fellow travellers friendly. The bar and restaurant are welcoming places to relax. Staying at the Skotel is a home away from home 😊

Unbelievable views, sunsets, sunrises. While the interior is (like most ski resorts) somewhat worn in appearance, everything was comfortable. And by far, one of the highlights of this resort is the playroom loft, where our 7 year old played happily for hours!

Good starting point for trekking to tama lakes. Hotel is a bit outdated and in our room we had a lot of dust.
