"This place was awesome. It's located about 15 minutes outside the city. Very pretty property with free canoeing available. Rooms and service were great. The breakfast was light but delicious. Wish we could have stayed longer."
"Visited Olavinlinna Castle on the weekend of the Christmas Market. Family Hotel Hospitz was recommended to me by a work colleague and I am glad I took her suggestion to stay there. Traditional, classic old hotel with small rooms, bathrooms fitted in to whatever space available, and lovely views. Owners friendly, helpful, and polite. Wonderful breakfast more than ample to fill you up for your morning walking and touring around the town. "
"Clean and surprisingly spacious rooms; super friendly staff; delicious breakfast with gluten free options, and easy 2-4 hour street parking nearby. Good location - about a half mile walk to Olavinlinna, and restaurants/market right outside the hotel."
"Opera quality was pretty good compared to the price. The family rooms were huge with full kitchens. Screens would be nice for the windows on hot days. Beds were clean and comfortable. Could have been cleaner on the balcony, and floors need a good cleaning."

A verified traveller stayed at Original Sokos Hotel Seurahuone Savonlinna
"This is not by any stretch of the imagination a hotel. It would be generous to describe it as a tired student hall of residence or a cheap backpaper's hostel that has seen better days. The room is stark and very poorly equipped. Advertised for 'self catering' there were no amenities whatsover provided - no crockery or cutlery, no cooking utensils, not even a mug. There was no hair dryer. But worse than the spartan accommodation, the 'curtains' were little more than thin sheets and not all the windows were fully covered. After I complained, some basic kitchen equipment and a hair dryer was provided and the curtains were replaced with something just about adequate. However, as shown in the pictures, one of the windows cannot be covered as there is no mounting rail. The sun rises bright and early in Finland so sleep under these conditions is difficult. I was forced to forage for some black refuse bin liners and create my own black out covering.
All this for the ridiculous charge of €239 per night - for accommodation that would have been over-priced at €50. The hotel - who should be ashamed of themselves for this blatant price-gouging - apologised and we checked out early (one night refunded) and lost one day in this lovely town. It was the Opera Season which explains the cynical approach. Had we not had tickets for 2 performances we would have never have stayed a single night. AVOID!
PS:breakfast is just about adequate in quantity, very average in quality & OJ highly dilute!"
