Gasthaus Vanha-Merivartioasema

Gasthaus Vanha-Merivartioasema occupies a former coast guard station on Pookinmäki hill in Kotka, Finland, where the building served its original purpose for 70 years before being converted into guest accommodation. Rooms are available for two people or larger groups using adjacent rooms. Guests share a fully equipped kitchen and dining area for around 20 people, along with a lounge. The property has a sauna and an outdoor grilling area. Upper floors offer sea views with passing ships and nearby islands visible by binoculars. Steps from the yard lead down to the shoreline, with Mansikkalahti beach a 5-minute walk away. Sapokka Park and Katariina Park are also within easy walking distance. A guest marina is 300 metres away. Free parking is available on site. The hostel is open year-round.
