  : Liked reception staff - friendly and efficient. Breakfast was good. Room size good. Bathroom good. Location good.
  : Duvets too narrow for a man. No tea/coffee facilities. No shower cap. Say a lady rather gruff when our granddaughter was using the pool. We didnt realise it was closed.

  : view from the room to river which was running during our whole stay and that is not normal the situation as river runs normally only during the river shows

  : We chose this hotel for the location next to the rapids, but in the event we arrived too late to see the 6:00pm brief unleashing of the waters. We also chose it for the architecture although we opted for the less expensive accommodation in the new building, which is physically separate from the original hotel, and can be accessed internally via a tunnel, or externally via a short walk. The original building is indeed an interesting example of national romantic architecture and is certainly not over-restored. The new building seems to have been very recently refurbished and our room was well-equipped and very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was excellent, with a greater number of choices than we had at some other Scandic hotels and served in the original restaurant.
  : It really is very expensive. We paid 149 Euros for two people for one night in the new building in mid-August, which appeared to be pretty much end of season.

  : I came to Imatra for the Saimaa Cycle Tour, which started right next to the hotel, so the location was perfect for the purpose of the trip. The location in Imatra is otherwise very good as it is in the very center of the city. The hotel building has unique architecture and inner structure is different from newer hotels.
  : The reservation was for a single person room, but still, it was smaller than expected. In addition, the shower was very outdated and there was no fridge in the room. There is no air-conditioning in the hotel. From my side, the price-value balance was on the wrong side. Breakfast was okay, but considering the cost, the selection was rather limited. I asked if it was possible to check out a little after 12 pm and it was for 10 Euro/hour, which I thought was a little greedy, considering the price of the room.
