Hi.

I work with one travel agency and they asked me to translate the text below from Finnish to English. Could somebody please check my translation, if it is correct. If there are some mistakes, you are more than welcome to correct those.

Here is the text:


Luxury Suites Pannunkova are located in a quiet Saarenkylä district of Rovaniemi.


From here, it is only five minutes by car to the city centre of Rovaniemi, five kilometers northbound to the Santa Claus Village, seven kilometers to Rovaniemi Airport and only four kilometers to the beautiful landmark of Rovaniemi, Jätkänkynttilä Bridge.


The Suites offer stunning river views, free WiFi and free parking. The air-conditioned Suites also feature a sauna, a terrace and a private beach area.


Each Suite has a seating area with sofa, a dining area and a fully equipped kitchen with a range of kitchen appliances including dishwasher, microwave, fridge, oven, hob, toaster and kettle.

Thank you for feedback.

Hob = a cooking appliance, or the flat top part of a cooker, with hotplates or burners.

I suppose I can google it and find some pictures.

Hob used to be common in BrE, (put the kettle on the hob, for example) but may have fallen into disure for all I know. But it is rarely if ever used in the American dialect

Some of the pics I saw looked like stovetops. Others looked like hotplates.

We still use "hob" in the UK, whether it's electric, gas or induction.
