Amazing restaurant!
I piced this hotel at random, as it was directly on my route. The hotel itself is nothing "special", everything is as expected. Okay, the location by the lake is superb, and the service was very friendly and professional. But what struck me was the restaurant. It was absolutely incredible – I planned to get a quick bite, but looking at the menu I knew that wasn't going to be the case. The menu was full of amazing sounding dishes, and I had a hard time to make choices, everything looked so fantastic. And the dishes themselves didn't disappoint, the food was absolutely fantastic, also very well served and presented: 10/10. Highly recommended for foodies!

Great view by the lake
Beautiful location by the lake. Lots of free parking spots nearby. The room was small and noisy but cheap. Breakfast was okay, pretty standard. The location and the view are definitely the highlights of this place, everything else was just okay.

Alba review
When we got to our room we noticed that the floors had not been cleaned. Quite a bit of dust balls crumbs etc around. We complained at reception and went for dinner when we returned it had been taken care of. We loved the location. Right in the lake, we managed to swim off of the dock of the hotel. Breakfast was very nice. We would go here again.

As long as the restaurant is avoided, this is a charming, lovely place to stay with clean, quiet rooms at a reasonable price point. The staff are joyful, welcoming and could not have been more helpful - all in all a wonderful experience and I will revisit! :c)

A great find
Somewhat hidden away but surprisingly walkable to downtown, our rooms had beautiful views of a lake. Furnishings and amenities were basic. The ample breakfast, with hot dishes constantly replenished, included Finnish specialties, in a most pleasant dining room.

A night on the lake with a sauna!
We only had one night at this location but enjoyed it very much. I must admit that we took an upgrade and stayed in one of their rooms with a sauna. This room also sat on the lake and you felt as if you were on a boat. Nice way to relax before hitting the road again the next morning. This hotel sits in a quiet place across the river from the university so it was a lovely setting. I did peek at the regular rooms and they were on the small side, but if you can afford an upgrade, you will be very happy.

horrible room for £100 - more like a hostel room than a hotel. Freezing cold. no heating on in winter in Finland. Ridiculous. Was so cold I asked to change room - eventually they gave me room (much better one) but made me feel guilty for asking. Awful checkout. Only wanted to drop key as I'd prepaid everything, but the receptionist talked non stop on phone for over 10 mins and ignored me - only wanted to catch her eye to be sure she saw that I was leaving the key. Rude beyond belief

Quiet and a wonderful view
Room was clean and spacious, also very, very clean. It has an amazing view of the lake, which more than makes up for some issues (e.g. absolutely no towels when I arrived in the room, and I had to go downstairs to pick them up because no one delivered them after I requested them). The rate is also pretty reasonable. I had a meal at the restaurant, which wasn't cheap, but was remarkably good.

Exceptionally good staff, and quite good restaurant. Beautiful location on lakefront, with many rooms and restaurant looking over the water. Best place to stay also if you have a car as it offers plenty of free parking. Walkable to center of town.

Back to the 80's
The hotel was ok, however, seems time has stopped since the 1980's. It's good for a short stayover. The restaurant is very well planned to utilize the view of the lake.
