AVOID - Backpaper hostel not hotel
Posted Jul. 27, 2023 on HotelsThis 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!

Thank you for your visit and your feedback. It is a summer hotel destination, the apartments of which we use for 1-3 months. During the rest of the year, the site functions as a student dormitory. For this reason, the apartments are simply furnished. Information about the apartments can be found on the booking websites. July is the time of the high season, when the prices of accommodation facilities in the city center are unfortunately high, even for modest rooms. I hope your visit to Savonlinna went well in other aspects and you were able to enjoy the wonderful atmosphere of the summer city. We will be happy to help you when you plan your next visit, and we will help you find accommodation suitable for your needs. Have a nice continuation of the summer!

An bare and empty dorm-style room with a shared bathroom and no amenities. Clean but disappointing at the $200 a night range.

Not good value for money
Posted Aug. 1, 2021 on HotelsThis should be more accurately advertised as a hostel rather than a hotel. The room was more like a dirty hospital room than a hotel room. There was a kitchenette attached which was in the advertisement but no utensils or plates or anything to make it useful. The beds are small and uncomfortable, no television or air conditioning. I would have been perfectly fine paying half of the cost of this stay if the Hotels.com listing was more accurate. My wife and I stayed in the Main Hotel last summer really enjoyed our room and stay for exactly the same price. I would not recommend this place to anyone unless you are desperate for just a place to sleep. Breakfast was OK.

Great location
Posted Jun. 25, 2016 on HotelsIt's a student dormitory room used for accommodation during the summer. Small and a bit uncomfortable beds but otherwise quite alright. The breakfast was decent.

Keittiö on käytännössä jääkaappi, kun ei ole mitään keittiövälineitä. Ei tosin haitannut meitä.
