We were at Simola the 3rd time. Excellent breakfast, Our room was spectacular beautiful, big, clean and the view is absolutely beautiful. The rooms are very big, the beds are extremely comfortably and the gas fire place is doing the rest for a nice cozy stay. Only the furniture and the carpets are a bit old, so for sure some need a bit of revamp :-)
The Spa was very dirty in the evenings! Used towels all over, dirty floors and used glasses in the sauna! No Staff was ever seen in the week we where there. No fresh water do drink after sauna! There is no Love to detail at all, its faaaar down and forgotten! Very sad because it could be very nice...

Exceptional staff service and excellent breakfast. Spa services and the gym are a standout feature. They managed to procure a second room for us at short notice.
Blind in the bathroom missing slats which is not ideal when you are right by the walkway. Pillows need replacing. The inner rooms are just not the same without the outer room views. Second room smelled of damp.

The variety of food in the breakfast was very limited
I booked my room with breakfast all five nights but I use one day only as the options were not a lot and the quality of food was not very good
My booking was through booking.com we were a family of 5 ,three adults and two children aged 2and 5 .i was located to two units .one was king size room and double bed room (which was enough for us )and a sweet ,we explained to the receptionist and manager that we don’t need the sweet unit but were very reluctant to understand and refused to help totally .we ended up paying for the sweet unit without using it for the five nights despite sending an email to the customer service and discussing this situation with them on multiple occasions.this was very disappointing to the whole family
