"Clean and surprisingly spacious rooms; super friendly staff; delicious breakfast with gluten free options, and easy 2-4 hour street parking nearby. Good location - about a half mile walk to Olavinlinna, and restaurants/market right outside the hotel."

"Hotel is in good location, excellent breakfast but the rooms need refreshing."

"The owner was very helpful and easy to communicate with. The home is clean and comfortable, plenty of space. The sauna has a wood stove and is a good size. The property is in a beautiful location and is close to many sites. One piece of information that is good to know about ahead of time is that the indoor bathroom is for urinating only; there is an outhouse (clean and spacious) that must be used for the other jobs."

"Friendly staff and great location"

"This place was awesome. It's located about 15 minutes outside the city. Very pretty property with free canoeing available. Rooms and service were great. The breakfast was light but delicious. Wish we could have stayed longer."

"The hotel was incredibly quiet in August- we had the huge dining room to ourselves so it was almost rather eerie! The decor is a little faded but so what?! The location by the lake is lovely and the whole area very calm and peaceful. The lake was great to swim in using the hotel's dock. The best things about the hotel were the staff (although we really only dealt with one young lady who seemed to do everything and was always on duty!). She made our stay by allowing us to change rooms, (and upgrading us!) as we had booked a room with a double bed. The menu in the dining room was comprehensive and the food absolutely delicious. Breakfast offered plenty of choice too, even though there were only a few guests. Value for money - we had a very relaxing stay."

"Nice surroundings"

"Unique, serene, beautiful and impeccable service! Thank you for two days of bliss. "

"This is not by any stretch of the imagination a hotel. It would be generous to describe it as a tired student hall of residence or a cheap backpaper's hostel that has seen better days. The room is stark and very poorly equipped. Advertised for 'self catering' there were no amenities whatsover provided - no crockery or cutlery, no cooking utensils, not even a mug. There was no hair dryer. But worse than the spartan accommodation, the 'curtains' were little more than thin sheets and not all the windows were fully covered. After I complained, some basic kitchen equipment and a hair dryer was provided and the curtains were replaced with something just about adequate. However, as shown in the pictures, one of the windows cannot be covered as there is no mounting rail. The sun rises bright and early in Finland so sleep under these conditions is difficult. I was forced to forage for some black refuse bin liners and create my own black out covering. All this for the ridiculous charge of €239 per night - for accommodation that would have been over-priced at €50. The hotel - who should be ashamed of themselves for this blatant price-gouging - apologised and we checked out early (one night refunded) and lost one day in this lovely town. It was the Opera Season which explains the cynical approach. Had we not had tickets for 2 performances we would have never have stayed a single night. AVOID! PS:breakfast is just about adequate in quantity, very average in quality & OJ highly dilute!"
