Hotel Punkaharju, run by Saimi Hoyer, 48, filed for bankruptcy in April. Now Hoyer tells Me in an interview with Women about their feelings in the midst of difficult times.
Hoyer tells the newspaper that his personal debt to the bank is 100,000 euros. In addition to this, he is left with an incalculable amount of receivables for a period of seven years. Hoyer bought the hotel from her boyfriend at the time of Thomas Hoyer with in 2016. Hoyer describes the work he does for Hotelli Punkaharju as charity in practice.
– During the whole time, I didn’t raise a salary for myself except for certain speaking gigs at the hotel. Everything I have invested in the company remains in the bank. I have renovated and maintained a culturally historically valuable house practically as a charity. It was done, but I paid a terrible amount for it, Hoyer tells Me Nais.
However, Hoyer says that he maintains an optimistic attitude. It is still unclear what the fate of the hotel will be and whether a new owner will be found. Hoyer does not rule out the possibility that he would continue to work at the hotel, but says it all depends on the new owner.

The woman does not know how to give an unequivocal answer, which was ultimately the decisive nail in the coffin of the hotel business. Operations were difficult from the beginning, and then came the corona pandemic and the war.
Knew he would make it
When the drift into bankruptcy became clear to Hoyer, he immediately picked up the phone.
– I immediately thought that I would get through this. I’ve always been able to say if I need help. I made a few calls and asked for it.
The entrepreneur says that he has received a lot of support from his close circle, and thousands of strangers have also wanted to show their support after hearing the news. Hoyer has had energetic, but also wistful moods during the rotation.
– Hotel Punkaharju is like a third child to me. It’s an extremely beloved place, so this is a kind of detachment, Hoyer commented to Me Nais.
Hoyer has also told Iltalehti about his feelings after the bankruptcy. He said that he was hopeful about the future, but felt sorry for the hotel’s customers, for example.
– I am devastated and sad. Time will tell how the story of Hotel Punkaharju will continue. I’m going to weed out the perennials this summer if no one else is doing it, Hoyer said.
