Scandic Imatran Valtionhotelli

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.

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.

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.

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! :-)

Great location, friendly staff
