Imatran Kylpylä Spa Apartments in Imatra

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 noticeable wear on the walls and especially in the bathroom floor. The air in the room was stale, but at least we could open a small window and the room also had blackout curtains. The beds were the absolutely worst part of the room. Extra hard and uncomfortable, plus the sheet was so tiny that it came off after rolling on the horrible bed trying to get some sleep. The bed cover under the sheet was something I really didn't want to see, with all the stains you could imagine.

The spa itself was fine, although the first thing I noticed after stepping into the dressing room was badly working locker system, that took like 5 tries to lock because the reader didn't want to read my wrist tag. The second annoyance was that all the soap dispensers I tried in the showers were empty.

There were plenty of various pools and we had fun swimming in them, the water temperature was fine and the thing entertained adults for couple of hours. There was also a pretty long water slide, but its signalling system was constantly misbehaving and people just stood there minutes waiting even when the previous person had long since cleared the slide. The pool section also showed its age in a lot places, with stuff looking worn down, rusty or broken. The absolutely worst part was the floor outside the pools, which was insanely slippery - something I had never encountered in spas before.

One amusing point was that they made us pay 7€ for a bathrobe and slippers, with some story about saving the environment. Sure, tell people not to waste, but having an extra fee for something that's standard to spas was just absurd, I was surprised we got a free towel.

The hotel had couple of restaurants, we tried the a la carte one for dinner and buffet for breakfast. The dinner was disappointing, with mediocre food that took forever to arrive and was grossly over priced for the whole experience.

The breakfast buffet again was pretty decent. Not full of local delicacies, but a well stocked hotel breakfast, which was actually better than the "fine" dining the night before.

All in all, the whole place is in need of a serious overhaul and one night was more than enough for us.

A shame, as the area itself was really pretty with nature paths and rental bikes to ride them.

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 kylpylöiden täytyy uusia tilansa lähitulevaisuudessa.

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; piping in the bathroom is exposed; rather functional than fancy which was a bit unexpected in a spa hotel

Multiple saunas available but no relaxing/reclining areas to rest and read in between sauna sessions

I would come back but opt for a better room. Also a relaxing area for the sauna is a must which I hope will be added in the near future.

The swimming pool, slides and the spa were good, at this time of year (winter) quiet. The water warm with the kids spending several hours there. Sadly the room felt dated and tired, this must have been an amazing hotel in the 00s but it really needs an update to bring it up to date.
