OnnenTähti: Unrivalled luxury in Botnia

Hotel OnnenTähti is really peculiar place to have an accommodation. It is located in the middle of nowhere (in a town of mere 500 inhabitants), it looks like a fairy tale castle outside, it has a huge food supermarket and state alcohol monopoly store on the ground floor and all rooms cost the same, 100€ -- including suites.

The hotel is a brainchild of Vesa Keskinen, the shopkeeper of the second biggest shop in Finland. The shop is located in Tuuri, a village in a small town (as said before, only 500 inhabitants -- most of them most probably employed by the shop) that has nothing else.

Everything revolves around luck in Tuuri (means luck or chances in English). For example, you don't know which room you get beforehand, but it depends on your luck whether you get a basic room or a suite. And horseshoe insignias are to be found everywhere.

The basic rooms could be suites in other hotels, as they are huge (45 square meters), high (5 meters) and have excellent amenities. Surprisingly, the minibar was empty in our room. Maybe you can stock it from the market downstairs.

Unique Quality: Great rooms with low price. Good breakfast and free cone of ice cream for children after the breakfast. A huge shopping center in the same and the next buildings.
