브레이크 소코스 호텔 콜리(Break Sokos Hotel Koli)

This was my second visit here with my family. We drove here for 5 and a half hours,it is well worth the drive. We arrived and got our room which was spacious and cosy with a view overlooking the lake. There was fun little details in the room like the mood rock and eye relaxing stones in the fridge. There was also white and red wine and sparkling wine waiting for extra charge. We got into our complimentary robes and flipflops and went to the spa. The spa fee included packages with Lumene spa products that could be changed for sparkling wine and alcohol free drinks for our teenagers. The spa is small but very relaxing with differents showers,saunas and a steam room, a cold pool and outside tub and lounge areas. The best is the pool with underwater classical music. There is a beautiful view overlooking the lake from the spa windows. After the spa we had a nice dinner in the restaurant,prices are mid range. After dinner we climbed to Ukko-Koli to see the sunset at ten pm. It was breathtaking with birds singing in the backround. The next morning we had a great breakfast. The breakfast buffet is good quality with multiple choises and locally produced products. This was a totally relaxing trip with calm and quiet surroundings. The next day was saturday and there was a lot more guests,so it was not so quiet.

When we arrived, the hotel was nearly fully-booked. But the personnel on the desk had time to show the free room types live and finally she could find us a very nice room with the awesome view from the window to the lake Pielinen, very pleasant service from her. Not a surprise that these views have innovated Finnish poets in the past. The self hotel is at the top of Koli national park, very unique and fine. When enjoying a good breakfast, there was also a nice view from the restaurant to the lake district. The sports activities were nice and enjoyable, thanks to the terrain and the sun also.

Excellent hotel with beatiful views. Spa was really nice and quiet atleast in middle of the week, also the staff was very positive! Room was great with scenic nature view. There was a prime minister fireplace near the hotel and it was well kept during winter time. I recommend higly visiting there, and you can buy some firewood from the reception. Hotel restaurant was a bit over priced in my opinion.

Visited here Oct2023 and probably missed a lot because of snowstorm + cloudy weekend. National Park starts from door and is amazing like they always are. Hotel itself is proper but serves nothing special. Spa was closed and rooms were just standart. Restaurant was okay (normal S-group selection). Positive thing was hand-made karelian pies - dont give these away...

First, Koli nature park is beautiful, and its nature trails start from the hotel. However, I would love this place more if it was Swissôtel Koli or something similar. There are Sokos elements that make it feel too familiar for any Finn. The hotel is as good as it gets in Finland (at this price level). Nothing to complain about in our room. Everything was working well. Breakfast was good, and the views from the restaurant were beautiful. In such an iconic national spot, I would appreciate having Finnish music (i.e. jazz or folk) played in the background instead of a lobby music playlist. We were not happy about the bar/restaurant. The pizzas were quite terrible. We also tried the "better side" of the restaurant and ordered some meat to share, but the food quality was average. Some of the meat was cold when brought to the table. Also, including supermarket-quality french fries in a portion with quality meats didn't feel okay. The restaurant staff didn't know about the food and had to take the menu to check what it consisted of. Our dog was nicely welcomed, as we had also booked a room suitable for dogs. The staff was friendly, especially at the reception. More parking spaces and electric car charging stations are needed. But probably this situation was partly caused by the renovation of the parking area.

Food was terrible (salmon smells old) and the hotel room was like a fish bowl in garage. Very many recommend this hotel and service but this was first and same time last time for us. Something very sad is happened this wonderful place in this year

Do not visit this spa if it is even a little busy. We visited on a Saturday and it was the opposite of relaxing. The spa is very small, so don't let the pictures fool you. The temperature of the pools was not warm which made it difficult to enjoy your time in the ourdoor pools as well as the jacuzzi. Staff was very accommodating but it did little to help the experience. Price is high for something like this. Look entertainment elsewhere or visit when very quiet.

We spent two nights in this hotel. The views are awsome!!!!!! The Koli and location of this hotel are so much in north that you can get your fair share of the "white nights" in there in July. The colours of the nature and the lake Pielinen and the light of the sun in this time of the year are astonishing!!! And we have seen a bit (e.g. Alps, Sierra Nevada, Himalaya) but the Koli is something very different (at least in July). Short said the location is excellent. Service is typical finnish. Friendly and polite but not overhelmingly. As far as I can see there was enough personal. The customers were mostly finns. Our room was ok (105) and the view was one of the best I've ever had. The only thing I would like to mention, is that we were able to hear when the TV or radio was on in the neibourgh room. There was a door to the neighbour room. It was locked but even if it was locked, it left a bit "stupid" thoughs. Breakfast and restaurant were also ok. No complaints. :-) All in all, if we go to Koli again (which I certainly whish), I could think of taking a room in this hotel again.

Hotel is less than 100 m away from a top of Koli, national landskape of Finland. You can go downhillskiing from the yard of the Break Hotel. Beautiful! And the spa is perfect for couples after 20.00, no children allowed, you get sparkling wine with you, hot tub outside, several wondeful saunas, different showers, hot and cold tubs. And in nearby Loma-Koli you can go to snowmobile- and huskysafari.
