Lake Saimaa, Finland hotel rooms at the Independent

"Wow, such an amazing place! Our standard room was far from standard, it was beautiful! Plus everything we needed and more. The spa was unreal! Paradise! The seal tour was so enjoyable, even though we didn't see any seals, sadly. It's a shame we couldn't stay longer as there are so many activities on offer and many more interesting places to stay. Would definitely go back and would recommend to anyone. "

"Breakfast was plentiful and room was great in every way except for the automatic lights in the bathroom. They went on every time I moved and I had to turn them off probably ten times. I like a dark bathroom when I get up during the night and that was impossible. Otherwise great hotel"

"You cannot find a more beautiful hotel and the park was right outside. Breakfast was fabulous. So many choices!"

"Very clean and new rooms with air conditioning!"

"Wonderful camping. Camping itself is quite big. You can choose to live in apartment, villa, small og big cabin, tent or park a camper. Shared kitchen and wc/douche are clean and big enough. Camping offers free sauna every morning which we enjoued much. You cal also find a private beach and orhet places where you can swim in the lake. Mojority of cabins have a lave wiev. You cal also find a good restorant in campings area and mini waterpark which is popular among kids. Lady in reception is very polite and explains everything we were intrested in."

"The line to check in was very long and slow, a bit challenging on a very hot summer day. A few marks on painted floor but “basic clean.”"

"Very disappointing. Hotel deceptive on booking site as many facilities offered were not available. Definitely not ‘Nature’ Hotel. Hotel old building on busy road being renovated and was not finished. Rooms small and hot. Reception was 1k away. No staff on site except breakfast cook who could not speak English. Breakfast on first day was preprepared. Nowhere to leave bags after checkout. Towels thin and old. No bedside lamps, no kettle, no onsite cafe. However staff at reception were helpful and made numerous trips to hotel to solve problems, and Finnish cook on site did his best as well.staff went above and beyond their roles to try to make stay pleasant despite problems. Definitely not what was advertised on Hotels.com. And not worth the money. "

"Brilliant stay"

"Pleasantly surprised. The hotel was clean and neat and the breakfast buffet was one of the better ones I have seen."
