Hotels in South Karelia

Friendly reception staff, good car parking and hotel location. The bedroom was recently refurbished and done really nicely. The hotel is located with an entrance to a shopping centre. It has a good bar restaurant, a coffee shop and other restaurants close. The breakfast was good quality and the right variety.

Fantastic stay! I really loved the swimming pool and sauna. They were very clean and relaxing. Highly recommended for travelers who love to sauna!

Great hotel with comfy beds. Excellent location and great amenities.

Very good hotel, good location good parking facilities. Very friendly staff. Nice restaurants!

We booked a room one day in advance for one night only and found ourselves in a room properly designed for wheelchair persons, got plenty of space but looked like a hospital. Fair enough, we are 8o++ but still play golf and did not find ”at home”.

Nice hotel inside a shopping mall. A hotel situated inside a shopping mall is a first for me. Once I had found my way around I enjoyed the convenience of being able to walk to various shops and cafes. Parking on first floor is limited but plenty of space on the upper floor. Room was bigger than expected with kettle and tea/coffee.

Took me days to decide if we should go visit since I checked many reviews. Eventually decided to check it myself: the dinner buffet was out of expectation, we enjoyed most of the food. Breakfast was ok, but the coffee doesn’t taste good at all, tbh. The room was a bit old, but totally acceptable. The spa was fun but really really cold, if the temperature would be slightly higher, I will for sure give...

Check-in staff was polite, but why do we have to fill in a mile long personal info questionnaire by hand in 2025? It's just mind boggling to watch the line go no-where with people filling these. The entrance area was pretty neat looking, with tiny shops and a game room behind that. Our room was in 3rd floor and stepping in was an instant time travel to the 80s and 90s. The room looked dated, with...

Very mixed feeling. The room was large but no air conditioning. The spa is very nice but breakfast is one of the worst I have seen. The surrounding area is very nice but was missing i.e. how to reach the wonderful clear water beach.

truly beautiful swimming pool – perfect for a relaxing vacation and ideal for children! This wonderful pool offers everything you need for a fun and carefree holiday. Whether you’re looking to unwind in the sun, enjoy a refreshing swim, or spend quality time with your kids, this place has it all. The atmosphere is welcoming, the water is crystal clear, and there’s plenty of space for both play and...

Quite a lot of selection for breakfast. The room is clean and comfortable. Staff is not so friendly, charged price wrongly, and still with some attitude.

Great views and location. Accessible to mini trails and lake. Highly recommended. We stay here once a year.

Clean room, great for my one night stay and very close to everything! I highly recommend it 😊

Weird experience Extremely rude receptionist at the desk when I arrived to check in after a long day of travelling. Overall left me with a very baffled feeling, since everything else in the hotel was good or even excellent. Also amazingly good breakfast.

Nice room and the staff were friendly and helpful

I liked the area the hotel was in and had a friendly man helping at the reception

They were very helpful in accommodation pre arranged very late access to hotel and room after hours. Excellent breakfast buffet. Very clean.

Very good, Enthusiastic service,

I felt very welcome and the hotel had a cosy and homelike atmosphere. Comfortable bed, clean, quiet, friendly staff, great shower and sauna every evening! Location was perfect, close to the harbour and the centre. I arrived at 9 pm and the lady at the front desk asked me if I’d like to go to the sauna, because she could extend the sauna time until 10 pm just for me. That was so sweet! The breakfast...

Cozy and topnotch customer service- receptionists are very helpful and accommodating. We are even allowed early check in,

Thanks for the welcoming reception, enjoyable stay, good sleep and great breakfast. See you next time.

There is a limited choice of hotels in Lappeenranta and the Scandic Patria is showing it's age inside and out (like most Scandics). All in all though, it is a good hotel, rooms are comfortable but dated. The location is the main attraction being just 150m from the Harbour Square/Satamatori. Breakfast was good and staff friendly. There is lots of free on-street parking nearby.

Location of the hotel was perfect, there was shops and restaurants near. breakfast was very good too. I have been here in the summer too And the nearby promenade is beautiful then

We Loved Our Stay This was a lovely hotel in a GREAT location. Just a quick walk to restaurants, shops and a waterfront park. The breakfast buffet was exceptional.

Great location in a historically significant area. The breakfast was very good, and the staff were lovely and even our cat was warmly welcomed. Guests have access to their own kitchen and a cozy living-room–style common area, which suited us and our needs very well. A truly delightful place. Everything was clean, and the history of the building has been nicely incorporated into the experience. Free...

Great hotel. Breakfast and sauna are included, but you need to share the sauna with others. The rooms were quite small. Public kitchen on the 2nd floor. Check-in was nice.

Staycation J Karjalainen keikalla kotikaupungissamme. Taksin odottelun välttämiseksi päätimme yöpyä noin viiden kilometrin päässä kotoa. Erinomainen idea jälkikäteen arvosteltuna. Vallan viihtyisä huone sekä sänky. Illalla otimme samassa kiinteistössä sijaitsevasta Fizzasta pizzan ja henkilökunta opasti meitä syömään sen hotellin kahvilassa, hyvä ajatus. Asiallinen aamiainen viimeisteli vierailun.

Very clean and new rooms with air conditioning!

It is quiet ja peacefull. No bars or nightclubs. Airconditioning was the best!

We stayed only one night but it was very pleasant, the room was comfortable and clean. I think it was a nice touch that each room was dedicated to a soldier. We particularly liked the location and it's next to a great pizza place for lunch or dinner.

The host very friendly and the extra finnish breakfast there was worth to try. There was a great trail walk nearby along the lake side.

We visited Salpalinjan Hovi in May and were given a tour of the Salpa Line sights by Anne. She was very knowledgable and friedly. The hotel is beautiful. Styled very nicely and with plenty of character. A grest place to spend time.

I've been here with my family for two nights. Anne and Timo are really some of the kindest persons that we've met in Finland. They welcomed us warmly, and offered us all the information about nearby natural trails, attractions in the city and along the road towards our next stop. They also kindly gave us their bikes to reach some of the nicest spots around. Their house is a beautiful mansion immersed...

Everything was perfect,from the friendly helpful 'Anne' to the room,facilities, cleanliness and beautiful surroundings. The atmosphere was great, too. We would highly recommend this beautiful hotel.

Clean and tidy, cosy, peaseful. Very traditional, yet very up-to-date. Traditional sauna available.

What a beautiful place. My whole family visited Lappeenranta and all stayed at Salpanlinjan Hovi. Organising a bed for a 1.5 year old toddler upfront via telephone was not a problem. The rooms are really nicely renovated and very clean. The sauna was perfect, the little pool was clean as well. It‘s very quiet, a little bit outside of the main city. The owners are the most friendly people. The sauna...

Great hotel, responsive staff. Delicious and varied breakfast. On the last day we left hotel very early in the morning and could not eat breakfast at the hotel, the administrator provided a breakfast box with us, which was a big and pleasant surprise. We will visit the hotel again and recommend it to others. Very close to the ski slope. Shop 2.5 km away, where you can būt anything.

New and spacious rooms. Clean and comfortable. Good breakfast! The location is quiet and close to the main roads

The room was spacious, clean and with good amenities. Property located in a peaceful area, close to main roads. Good breakfast quality and selection

Nice stay! Comfortable stay, nice hotel, good breakfast

Very beautiful in a quiet place with a wonderful breakfast

I recommend! The hotel is cosy in the forest and the lady at the reception is very helpful!

Kylpylähotelli on todella remontin tarpeessa. Näyttää siltä, ettei tiloja juuri ole uusittu 90-luvun jälkeen. Kylpylä on melko pieni eikä siellä ole porealtaita kuin ulkona. Huone oli hieman nuhjuinen, nahkatuolin päällinen oli viillelty ja verhot huonot/vanhat. Kylpyhuone oli melko siisti. Plussaa on henkilökunta, kaikki olivat mukavia ja avuliaita. Mutta Imatran kylpylän kuten muidenkin Suomen kylpyl...

Nicely located by the lake, great view and options to explore the surroundings One of the best hotel gyms I've ever seen!!! The multiple training areas really offer most bells and whistles one can ask for! Breakfast was great and plentyful, baked beans would be a nice add on though Economy rooms are rather like accommodation in a youth hostel: a bit worn, linoleum flooring in the main and bathroom...

It was amazing with 16 different kind of pools, easy to go to hotel room and meals werw

The place is very peaceful, quiet and surrounded by the beautiful nature outside . We enjoyed very much the pools inside and at the same time the serenity of the nature outside.

Quite a lot of selection for breakfast. The room is clean and comfortable. Staff is not so friendly, charged price wrongly, and still with some attitude.

Great views and location. Accessible to mini trails and lake. Highly recommended. We stay here once a year.

O'Leary's, the same as pretty much expected. Some servers very attentive, some not so much. Our dinner went well overall, however.

A nice place for family. I would visit again

Located in the Holiday club Saimaa. Sports bar with fast food type menu: burgers, nachos, fish&chips etc. Menu is fairly priced compared to the quality. Irish pub type atmosphere. Lots of pictures hanging from a wall. Good and friendly service. Opens in the late afternoon. No lunch available. There is also a possibility to play pool.

The service was amazing! The staff were so nice and the food was really good. Pricey yes, but so is everything around the hotel area.

Saimaa light 47,5m2 -rivitalo Huoneisto hyvässä kunnossa ja siisti. Huoneistossa oli 2 makuuhuonetta, olohuone-minikeittiöllä, pesuhuone 3 suihkulla + wc:llä ja erillinen wc. Hyvät sängyt petivaatteineen. Rauhallisella sijainnilla ja hyvällä paikalla. Tullaan ehdottomasti seuraavallakin kerralla tähän!

We enjoyed our stay. Apartment was very well equipped and tidy. Resonable distance within everything, nearest bus stop to city centre about 100m from the apartment. If I ever visit Imatra again, I would book life&light apartment for my stay.

I’m grateful to owners of this apartments for being loving to their business. I had appreciated the work of cleaners. The apartment had been clear. Apartment has a dishwasher, a washer, an oven, a microwave, a stove, and a beautiful sauna. This one is very comfortable. I was filled with joy about amazing nature around the apartments and fine ski track through the wood. Imatra is very lovely and cozy...

Close to the ice rink. Great location for any sports on Imatra.

Lovely cottage apartment only few minutes away from Imatra city center but car and 10 minutes walk from the lake. Super clean, has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Warm, with in-house sauna and a terrace. Very cozy.

Best hotel in the Imartra area, with nice staff especially Vitally.

It's a well located hotel close to the lappeenranta harbour. Bed was good and environment is clean. Wheelchair accessible. Breakfast was good 👍 😋

Good hotel but is it worth of price?

I stayed at Hotel Lähde in June 2024. The hotel is superbly located at the lakefront and just a few minute walk from the city center. I was lucky to have a room on the 4th floor with a balcony overlooking the lake. The room was really spacious, bigger than any of the standards in the other hotels in Lappeenranta. Although it's clear the hotel is not new, the room was really well maintained and clean...

Nicely decorated rooms on the Boutique hotel side. Excellent typical Finnish breakfast with wide selection. Nice location in the harbour.

Very happy with this hotel. Check in was smooth, smaller car park in backyard. Room has air conditioning that works great! Room is clean, bed linen feels fresh and crispy, washrooms is clean, mini fridge in the rooms, very quite even with windows facing the street. Smart TV in the room. Totally worth the price

Lahde / Old Spa is a great hotel. A little quaint, but you can't expect otherwise in Lappeenranta. The breakfast has nice offerings, although I am not a fan of the juice machines they often use in Finland. Fortunately, a nice smoothy was offered. The room I had (42) was extremely spacious. Really large, good shower, big towels, again little to complain about. The only small complaint: I'd like a...

The house was in the best location, our family's favorite area. The house was very different, at least from the outside. The inside was nice, spacious, with lots of windows and the bedrooms were spacious. The underfloor heating and fireplace were nice additions. The apartment was otherwise really cozy, but the downstairs bathroom smelled horrible from the drains. In addition, the showers were bad,...

Gorgeous and spacious cottage, but three stars because the sauna / washroom had a very horrible smell that was not reported to us and when we called they said they were aware. Did not apologize in any way and did not offer any compensation.

We came across a very good house, my grandparents lived here in 2018.

The place is cool. Outside unsightly, but inside is excellent. For a big company, just super.

were a company of 9 people. great house. Pts successful layout, several bathrooms, sauna, trimmed with mozhevelnik. A huge table, lots of dishes, a fireplace. I recommend to companies. 10 min walk grocery store and children's entertainment center. By car to a large shop Prism minutes 8.

Check-in staff was polite, but why do we have to fill in a mile long personal info questionnaire by hand in 2025? It's just mind boggling to watch the line go no-where with people filling these. The entrance area was pretty neat looking, with tiny shops and a game room behind that. Our room was in 3rd floor and stepping in was an instant time travel to the 80s and 90s. The room looked dated, with...

This hotel is honestly awesome. It was clean and it had a bunch of different things to do like swimming and bowling. Compared to other spas in Finland I would say that this is one of the best. In the main area of the spa (Taikametsä) there are these random events where it suddenly starts to rain or an epic music starts playing. It felt like a movie the first time it happened. The water sprinklers...
