We chose to break our return journey from Juva via Savonlinna at Lapeenranta. We weren’t sure what to expect but liked the look of this hotel, which is part of a former military barracks on the edge of the city. The outside of the hotel has an institutional look to it but the interior has been tastefully decorated and the rooms are very pleasant. Each room is named after a person who was stationed at the barracks and there’s a little bio about them on the desk. Room was a good size with individually controlled air conditioning and, wonder of wonders, a window that opened. Bed was large and linen was pristine. The bathroom is modern but I was surprised that there was shower curtain rather than shower screen, given the pricing of the hotel. Excellent blackout curtains that are needed in summer where there is daylight almost 24hrs a day. The building is solid. Very solid. This means that it’s well soundproofed from outside noise and in the halls. The second floor has a ‘relaxation area’ which is like a common room where there’s a fridge for you to leave cold items, kettle, ice machine, coffee maker tables chairs, a wide screen TV etc. They also have a separate play room for kids. On the third floor is a recreation area with small pool table, air hockey etc. Everything is in perfect condition. Breakfast is in the breakfast room on the ground floor. People have complained that the breakfast is ‘not that great’ but coming from a country where breakfast is *never* included, a breakfast of cereal & bread, cheese & ham, yoghurt & pastries, coffee and juice is a real treat.

    the accommodation was lovely and calm! the location by the lake and the personal, friendly approach of the owner is just great; morning swimming was great even though pretty refreshing :) moreover, you can enjoy and buy their local delicacies including smoked salmon, salmon fish cakes, etc., we also ordered the breakfast which is fully local too (including the smoked fish, home baked bread, oat porridge, etc.); parking is just at the accommodation

    The property was like a small bungalow with everything needed for a restful few days. The location in area H was perfect, 500m from the main reception with the lake only a 2 minute walk away. Loved having the 2 bikes included and the peaceful nature of the area.

    Imatra has lot to offer for visitors who like to spend time in nature and enjoy clean waters of Saimaa. Choose your accomodation from Imatra spa (Ukonniemi) or Holiday Club and Rauha area and you can enjoy lovely sunsets while having evening swim in lake Saimaa.

    I generally know and like Lappeenranta - it is a nice town to stay in and to both work and enjoy. Located in the beautiful Finnish nature and at the coas of Saimaa lake. Moreover, the place is good as a base for journeys to the nearby attractions as well as e.g. for shopping.

    Luumäki is a sweet little town with everything you need to have a good time. You find a hotel (Hotelli Salpa) which has an included restaurant and a nice view over the lake, you have a restaurant (Kahvi Pakari), which has good food for good prices or you buy your groceries in the local store (Sale) and stay at a rented apartment. If this doesn´t tickle your fancy, you can drive to the next village (Taavetti), which is only 15km away. There you find everything you have in Luumäki, only bigger and in larger numbers. If you like to take walks or bicycle / skiing tours in the countryside, this is a great place to do so.

    The best in Imatra are the wonderful sand beaches and the lakes. It is EASY to get there if you have a car. The best place to eat is the Buttenhoff restaurant in the center. We also had a lunch in a nice restaurant/ Café Sula right next to the river Vuoksi. Unfortunately Imatra is suffering from lack of tourists and many shops in the center are empty, if people could put their art /photos on the windows the center would be nicer. The waterfall was a powerfull attraction especially in the evening. I would go next time again to the very special Veteran museum opposite the Valtionhotelli .

    There is something magical about Lappeenranta. Such a beautiful place to spend summer. So much to do and see, yummy Finnish foods from the satama, loved the sandcastle sculptures. E-scooter rides were great fun and a visit to the market for fresh strawberries and peas is a must.
