Sleeping in

Next Friday Finns can celebrate the National Sleepy Head Day. On July 27^th the last person in the house to wake up is woken up using water. We have a permission to throw the Sleepy Head into a lake our the sea. If there aren’t any water bodies nearby a bucket of water is also a suitable option.

Our silly little tradition is based on the story of Saint of Ephesus who slept in a cave for some 200 years during the Middle Ages. He was hiding from the Roman Emperor Decius and fell a sleep. Obviously he had a great bed in that cave, why else would someone sleep for 200 years?

Hotel Merihovi’s staff is quite aware of the fact that you may wake your family member with a bucket of water once a year. On the other hand we do respect our costumers and leave them alone. But we do recommend getting up before 9 AM or else you might miss our delicious breakfast buffet.

Whatever the case and you feel like sleeping in next Friday just put a “Do not disturb” sign in your door and the maids will clean your room later. Our Hotel guarantees great sleep so there is no reason for us not to celebrate National Sleepy Head Day every day.

We welcome you to stay with us

A shelf full of wild dreams

To read or not to read, there is the question. Whatever the answer may be for you, we in Hotel Merihovi can help you to find some of the old classics in literature. How? Well of course offering novels for you to borrow from our very own mini library.

It is commons sense that books are quite heavy and you don’t wish to drag many pieces with you, while living from a suite case. That’s why we have a grand bookshelf by the reception on the first floor.

 

All our costumers are free to take a book to their room and enjoy classical novels suited for their own taste. We have many epic pieces from the day the hotel was build and some new ones as well. We’ve been blessed, to receive such books as Duchess Hotspur by Rosamund Marshal and The Egyptian by Mika Waltari.

We welcome you to enjoy your stay. Not just in our hotel but the imaginary world created  by the ones with wise words and a wild mind. Book your room now The books are included in the room price ;)
