City wonderful and cozy.
Hotel. Good location. Free convenient parking.
The rooms are very small and contain only the essentials.
Breakfast is adequate without the frills but tasty and enjoyable.
I can recommend to stay for one night.



We asked about laundry which seemed to be a big deal - several phone calls needed but turned out to be an external service which was fast, good and for Finland, cheap!
The breakfast was quite acceptable in kept refreshed as people consumed. We did not try dinner as there were better places close by - menu looked dull - but people were eating there after the opera.
On the plus side: It is pretty close to the castle so easy to get there in the rain; parking around the back is handy and the staff are most friendly.
Food & breakfast good, but the restaurant not very functional when there are more guests around. The food saved the stay--pizza probably better than at the pizza joint down the road. The kitchen took its time (30 min from ordering, with about ten customers altogether) and we were surprised at not being offered the pizza menu at first, had to ask for it.
Location excellent for the castle. Easy parking.
Having arrived by train, in the afternoon, it was an easy walk, slightly uphill to Pietari Kylliäinen taking about 10 minutes. Its a sort walk to the castle, museum and water as well.
Check in was not particularly friendly or gracious, but we survived. Check out was similar.
The hotel is best described as functional and is oldish and unrenovated, which sometimes is not a bad thing. There is an elevator serving all floors. There was an industrial, oily smell in the area around the elevator.
We were allocated room 401. Our room was a good size with windows overlooking the carpark. The window was openable.
There is a fridge in the room together with couch, desk and tv. The design of the room was not functional. For instance, the couch faced a blank wall. The double bed was pushed into a corner, about 300mm from the wall on the side of the bed and along the side wall,were 2 lights (with their cords dangling down) which would normally be at the bed head.
It was clean. Wifi is fast and free. The bed was comfortable.
The ensuite had underfloor heating and a drying rack. The shower was small and the hand basin was difficult to use as the glass shelf above it jutted too far over the basin.
Noise insulation does not work as we could easily hear other guests.
We had dinner in the hotel restaurant on our first evening, and it was satisfactory. Again not much grace from the waitress. The cost appeared to be the going rate for Savonlinna. Not great quality food and we did not go back.
The first morning we needed the shower gel to be replenished and the last day, our room was not tidied even though new foot mat had been put out. These did no duly affect us, except to provide indicators.
Breakfast was basic, and pretty average quality. Cordial-like juice, yogurt, fruit, cereal cheese, ham, tomato, breads and the usual unpalatable scrambled eggs, sausages or meatballs in the bain marie. Tea and coffee. There is enough there to provide a breakfast.
Presumably this hotel is comparable to others in Savonlinna. If so, Savonlinna has a problem.
This hotel is basic, and expensive for what we got, particularly as when we visited in early October, their season seemed to be over
1. A SMALL room with private bathroom (it really reminds a student room, as another reviewer has previously pointed out)
2. Average sound insulation (not from the main road, but from other rooms)
3. Air-conditioning, adjustable from within the room (VERY important, epecially during summer)
4. An ultra FAST wired internet (not wi-fi)
5 Fridge in the room (not minibar) and with a big super market just opposite to fill it.
6. FREE car parking
7. Good sleep quality
8. A fair breakfast buffet (lot of things, but with no to-die-for quality)
9. A level of cleanliness that needs improvement
With all its compromises, one can stay for a couple of days.
I think it's a honest proposal (if only the cleanliness was better....)
I give it (after a lot of thought) a 3 star rating hoping it will just do better with the cleanliness matter in the future.
