Top Lake Saimaa Hotel Reviews

Hotelli Savonlinna

10/10 Excellent

"I recommend this hotel. I stay in hotels about 100–120 times a year, both in Finland and abroad. I always prefer small, privately owned hotels, and this is one of them."

Hotel & Spa Resort Järvisydän

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing stay! Beautiful scenery and the food was delicious. The amenities were readily available and staff was helpful with everything!"

Original Sokos Hotel Seurahuone Savonlinna

Holiday Club Saimaan Rauha

10/10 Excellent

"Check in was easy and staff were very helpful. Breakfast was very good with lots of options. We had the Barbecue buffet for dinner and we enjoyed the food and live music. We stayed at this place after kids were back at school and the swimming pool was quiet and enjoyable."

Holiday Club Saimaan Rauha Superior Apartments

8/10 Good

"Our stay was okay. The hotel room wasn’t bad, the sink was just dirty at the base. They set up a sofa bed even though we had an infant and needed to set up our playpen. But we could have asked them to take it down after check in. The breakfast wasn’t bad, they had a lot of food. Just busy and expensive. We liked the resort itself and the cafe on the beach. Our biggest complaint is the misinformation on the Expedia website. It says there are 4 pools, 1 outdoor pool, and 1 whirlpool. We assumed these were free because it didn’t say anything was extra. However, it was 27€ per person for one day. We opted not to pay that and use the beach instead. They need to clarify this on their Expedia."

Scandic Mikkeli

8/10 Good

"Clean room, friendly staff (especially Minni) and excellent breakfast. Will stay again."

Spahotel Casino

8/10 Good

"I loved staying here. The staff was really helpful, the room was clean and bright with the a view of the lake. I even saw the northern lights from my balcony! The sauna and pool were very nice and clean. I loved the bright windows for the pool. I had breakfast and supper and both were delicious. A good breakfast spread and the supper menu and service was very good. I would highly recommend this hotel."
