It's the perfect location in the oldest part of Savonlinna and right by the castle to explore. The hotel was spotlessly clean top to bottom, as was our double room on the third floor. The bed was one of the most comfortable beds we'd slept in. Our room had a fabulous aspect overlooking the lake and with a balcony, perfect for our short stay. The buffet breakfast was extensive and delicious.

Sadly the hotel doesn't have a lift to any of the floors. Plus how the bathroom layout was in our room, we thought the hotel could have made better use of the space available.

Nice and historical small hotel next to lake Saimaa. Breakfast was good. Room was above average what comes to decor, toiletries etc.

Parking place was disappointment. We decided to take private parking place inside hotel yard, which cost 15e/day. It was not so private as it looked to be common walkway through yard from street to the lake. Also it was obvious that some locals (?) parked their cars to hotel parking places without paying, as there were no control who paid for parking and who didn't.

The location of the hotel is perfect for a visit to Olavinliina Castle, being only a five minute walk away. The hotel from the outside looks like a normal square boring building, but inside is a completely different experience. It was designed by a Finnish Architect in the 1930's as a hostal, and is now a listed building. The night we stayed the hotel put on a very nice free buffet and then follwed it the next morning with a fantastically varied array of foods for breakfast.

Nothing.

The location of the hotel was excellent. Its right on the edge of the lake and it was very quiet and peaceful the castle is only a couple of minutes walk away and the harbour and town were less than a 10 minute walk. It's an old building with beautiful old style rooms. Our room was really big with a nice sitting area and a separate kitchenette with a sink, two ring cooker, kettle, fridge and utensils.. Tea, coffee, and sugar was supplied but no milk. The beds was very comfortable and the bathroom was lovely. It was well stocked with very nice toiletries. The breakfast was excellent. There was a wide variety of both hot and cold foods and extremely tasty. The staff in the hotel were extremely nice and helpful.

There was nothing I didn't like about our stay. The only thing I would do differently if staying there again is I would request a room on one of the upper floors. We could open the windows in the bedroom and kitchenette which was wonderful but because we were on the ground level we couldn't leave them open overnight which I would like to have done.

The hotel is very well located. We received a friendly welcome and were provided with all the information we needed. The hotelier also had very good tips for our stay. We particularly liked the “cozy” atmosphere of the hotel with the Christmas decorations. Thank you also very much for the late check-out.

There is nothing to criticize.

Our stay was exceptional! The historic building exuded charm, and our spacious room easily accommodated our family of five. Nestled in the city center. A stunning view from our window on the lake, making our stay truly memorable. Highly recommended for a perfect blend of history and comfort!

It was a bit fresh inside the room, but the outdoor temperature was about -30 degrees during those days.

Breakfast was help yourself, plenty of choice and delicious. Room was quiet and dark, with block out curtains. Walking around the property was picturesque, lots of history. No fridge in room, shared kitchen with fridge, microwave, tea/coffee provided

Left a bag under the desk, text messaged we would pickup in a couple of days, was told bag was not found We know the bag was definitely left there. Disappointed

The staff was very helpful, friendly and nice. The hotel, room and sauna are cosy, clean and great

During winter there is no lunch nor dinner menu but there are nearby restaurants and cafes as well as shops

The best breakfast ever!!! A great variety of salty and sweet options, all very tasty, presented in a spectacular room which brings you back to the beginning of the XX century. Very clean and quiet place, in a very central location (in front of the lake shore, at a few minutes walk from the castle)

The room was small and the bathroom was particularly small

Next to the castle and 10 min walking from restaurant very « chic » hotel in Savonlinna. The staff was very nice and the breakfast is very good. Free parking in the street or in the private parking (in September). The old style makes the difference
