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.

Everything as expected from Scandic. Nice modern room in the park building, excellent breakfast, cozy lounge bar to watch football.

The building's air condition was just above our room so it didn't get quiet when leaving the window open. You need to be honest and open regarding this with your guests. Staff didn't speak English very well, some didn't even understand Finnish. Maybe their Russian was better?

The hotel is set next to a lovely riverside walk along the Imatra rapids. The staff where very helpful as the restaurant was closed on the day we stayed and directed us to the centre where we found somewhere to eat. The room was nice and big, fitting the almost medieval castle look of the hotel Breakfast was fantastic, with a selection of hot and cold options as well as yogurt, and overnight oats.

Nothing

Everything was nice! + English-speaking receptionist + a possibility to pay with cash + friendly and very supportive staff. All our questions were answered and all our wishes were taken into account. + a free parking lot near the hotel + a great location. There is a nice park and a great waterfall within a two-minute walk from the hotel. Our 2 year old son liked it! + a great bed + good breakfast + all the amenities listed in the description of accommodation + saunas and swimming pool were included but we didn't go there We want to thank everyone who made our rest so comfortable and calm.

We didn't notice anything. Everyone has their own requirements for reservation and for a room but for us everything was great! We expected to find some porridge for breakfast but we found other tasty meal :) Maybe lack of air conditioning would be a problem in hot weather but there is a fan in the room.

The hotel is the most beautiful and has a great old time charm. I love the location, staff was friendly, great view from the room. Good restaurant.

No air conditioning so it was a bit hot, the cleaning was not very well done before us and there was some hair in the bath etc.

We booked a 'castle' superior room which was large and comfortably appointed with a very small balcony overlooking the famous rapids. Lots of comfortable places in the lobby to sit and have a drink and relax. Good food in the restaurant including breakfast which had every choice imaginable. The castle is quirky and certainly provided a memorable stay.

The bathroom in our bedroom was quite tired (but clean). The ipad / tablet in the room is out of place, completely useless and just provides a messy tangle of wires to look at.

Clean and nice room with the necessary amenities for the visitor. Breakfast was very good, varied and delicious. The check-in accommodation, everything related to the stay and the check-out of the room was organized at a high level. Hotel staff is very kind and responsive. The hotel is located in a good location, the old and the new part are connected by a warm underground connection, which is very convenient in winter. The sauna is very good with everything you need for a pleasant stay and recovery. The gym is small but tidy, open 24 hours, which is very convenient. It was a pleasant stay! :-)

The lack of a tea maker in the room.

Breakfast was amazing! One of the best vegan breakfasts I have ever had in a hotel. The hotel was beautiful and rooms comfortable.

The spa was a bit outdated and not everything was working properly, but it still was a nice addition to the experience.

Great location, friendly staff

The rooms in the separate building were perhaps a bit outdated but all in all a nice stay with friendly staff at the reception

Architectural astonishment and the local rapid just behind the building that you can hear inside the room at night if water is flowing. The different halls have unique decorations and Finnish history contained within the walls.

The hotel does not have a large staff that would make it luxurious, now it just does not make it.
