Our room was beautiful, looked just like the photos. Lots of things to do. We came to visit a family member who moved here. The only downside was that no one is very fond of Americans, so demeanor and service changed quite a bit once we started talking and the knew we were from the US, it was made pretty obvious. Other than that the hotel and area are very nice places.

A large (for Finland) comfortable and diverse hotel on the shore of the lake with a good SPA complex.

In the angry birds park, adults need to pay also, this is a rip off, 51 euro to have one child play is a run down play center(robbery). Also it took an hour in O'leary to even get our starters delivered. This is unacceptable.

Positive experience
Getaway with 2 kids. Standard family room was spacious enough for me and my 2 children. Kids loved the spa, I maybe missed some natural light from there. Area is nice, close to lake which is extremely nice during summer but winter time not that much to do outside. Spa opened only 3 PM which was a bit dull to wait in the morning. Breakfast was a typical scandinavian, a bit unhealthy for my taste as I prefer berries over jams and fruits over juices but otherwise ok. Restaurants were a bit crowded right after the spa was closed and again some boring waiting time for the kids

Christmas holiday in Holiday Club Saimaa
We visited Holiday Club Saimaa during Christmas days in 2019 as a family of three people. The hotel is really nice, clean, located very close to Saimaa Lake. The complex also includes various cottages. There are no buses going to this hotel, so you will need to come by car or to take a taxi from Imatra (which will cost 20-25€ one way). Buffet breakfasts were tasty and varied. There are also several restaurants and a supermarket (which was closed during Christmas days). Hotel room was clean and had all essential items (kettle, mini fridge, hair dryer). On the 4th floor there is a room with a microwave and iron. Spa area is really nice for a hotel, though smaller than usual water parks. Sauna World includes 4 saunas and a pool (for additional 7€ price). What we really enjoyed, was a log-sauna and a hot tub on the roof terrace! It was nice to walk along the lake and enjoy the nature! It's a really good place to stay for several nights with a family or for couples!

Did not love it
The view of lake Saimaa in the morning was gorgeuous, and the breakfast was great. Extra points for the bacon being perfectly crispy, a rare find in Europe. However, the room could have been tidier. Also, having travelled a fair amount, I have never come a cross a hotel that makes you pay for slippers as a hotel guest. Granted, we typically stay in relatively nice places, we were also surprised there was no conditioner available in the room. We asked for some at the reception, and were charged 2 euros for a single dose bottle. As a paying customer, I did not appreciate the sales call made the day before our arrival, to sell their timeshare plans. On that note, I could see our pre-school aged kids enjoying some of the aspects of the location, hence I would have hoped we could have liked it more.

Stayed in the suite just down from reception, room was amazing with views to the lake, which made it extra special Thing the let it down was the room turndown, gave us cut glass for drinking and paper cup for hot drinks. These weren’t replaced each day, turned bed down but didn’t fully make the bed and would’ve had to walk around a dress pillow which we purposely left on the floor Coffee is disgusting at breakfast But otherwise this is a seriously nice place.

Great family concept but misleading.
When booking I did not realise it was Family oriented Hotel in the true sense of the word !! I’m sure families with young children would have a wonderful time here it is very well set up. For a traveller from overseas though who does not understand Finnish concepts of Family Holiday clubs the information is misleading as this type of Hotel was not what we had anticipated. However for a one night stay it was just fine. The family room we stayed in was tired looking but very clean and had a good sized bathroom. It has a very good Pizzeria, the beds were very comfortable and the staff friendly and we enjoyed a very beautiful sunset from the lakes edge.

One day vacation
Standard room (one was surprising - very simple disposable slippers in the room (!) were the subject for extra-costs of 3,5 Euro - I NEVER faced it anywhere and it was really cold in the room without ability to change the temperature inside), nice World of Sauna zone (also additional costs), simple breakfast and restricted dinner facilities: only pizza in one restaurant and hamburgers etc in the other. Without many expectations you find this hotel being quite average.

Hi, Thank you for your feedback. In castle and gant rooms (where we also have those slippers for sale) you can change the temperature by using the thermostat in radiator. We have also Le Biff restaurant, hope you will try that one next time. Welcome back again!

Long wait at the reception for everything! The staff was always either on the phone right in front of a guest, or doing something else in the shop, or in the back room. In other words, nobody was readily available to serve a guest! Also had trouble returning a swim suit that I purchased in the shop on Level 0. After trying it on in the room I went downstairs to return it and was told that it was impossible because I had paid for it with a credit card. Such nonsense! The pool was overcrowded too, so we ended up going there once with my kids and never returned again. Although there are two elevators in the main building people get stuffed in one like sardines, instead of waiting for another elevator. On the bright side: their buffet breakfast and dinner were plentiful and good, hotel grounds are beautiful and well kept! there is enough parking and the rooms were clean.

Hotel for family holidays
Very big hotel with spa, aquapark, bowling and etc. Really busy, too busy for rest and relaxation. Probably, good for families with children but not for adults - I was with my adult daughter - it was...difficult... for both of us. I guess, time is not very good as it is the time of school holidays but I never want to repeat this experience.

Family resort
Stayed here for a night while traveling the Lakes region. Nice hotel, very family oriented. We were a couple, so may have preferred elsewhere. I would recommend for people with children, as seemed perfect for them. I would have loved if they had a little beach so we could take a dip in the Lake, although cold, the option would have been nice. The Fish restaurant by the water was excellent!! OLeary's was NOT the No 1 sports bar, but once again would work well for families.

Very comfortable room with balcony, close to playground. Great bathroom, lovely grounds. Some confusion over whether there was a bed for our two-year old (there was) so we ended up making it up ourselves. Would definitely go again - lovely place to stay and many accommodation options. Even rooms for pets! Highly recommended!

Uusi hotelli ja hyvä saunamaailma. Saunamaailma voisi olla auki pidempää ja avautua jo aamusta aikaisemmin. Sinne ei tarvitsisi olla pääsyä yli 15v . Hiihtolomalla siellä metelöi lapset. Hirsisauna olis kiva että aukeaisi.

Ihan ok
Ihan ok kokemus, mutta hintalaatusuhde ei oikein nyt kohtaa. Aamupalalla ei tarpeeksi paikkoja. Ravintoloissa surkea palvelu, ei tarpeeksi henkilökuntaa. Tarjoilua sai odotella kohtuuttoman pitkään. Kylpylä ihan okei. 220e/yö ja vielä sen päälle kaikesta saa maksaa lisää kuten kertakäyttöläpökkäistä ja kylpytakeista. Tuskin tarvitsee tulla toisten käymään vaikka ihan ok kokemus muuten paitsi hintalaatu suhteelta

Saimaan kylpylän arvostelu
Erityistoiveeseeni ei koskaan vastattu, eikä edes otettu huomioon sisäänkirjautuessa. Tämä oli todella sääli, vaikka ilmaisin kosinta aikeeni. Hotellin esittely/ opastus aika kehnoa. Hotellihuoneessa kertakäyttömukit jotka raapivat huulia juodessa. Pesuhuoneessa puoliksi irti oleva peitelevy ja vain perus yleis saippuaa. Valokatkaisimet olivat suunniteltu todella kömpelösti. Kaiken lisäksi aika mautonta pulittaa aivan kaikesta erikseen, kun on kylpylähotelliin kuitenkin tullut. Mm, kylpytakit,tossut,yhteiset saunat pariskunnille,kylpylän käyttö. O'learyessa palvelu sekä ruoka oli onneksi hyvää, joka vähän pelasti reissua. En kuitenkaan voisi suositella Saimaan kylpylää kellekään muulle, ikävä kyllä.
