“Unique and comfortable stay just out of Hämeenlinna.”
A really unique hotel, with the various rooms (library, state rooms etc) open for exploring. We did not have time to go to sauna but it would have been available. The breakfast was really nice. The staff permitted us to plug in our car to pre-heat.

“Cozy and romantic place to spend time!”
Incredible location, surrounded by amazing nature, and a beautiful castle. The best breakfast I have ever had. When we checked in, we discovered that the temperature in the bathroom was so low that it was impossible to take a shower. We contacted reception, and they immediately changed our room and offered a small apology for the inconvenience — a bottle of sparkling wine. Amazing service and wonderful people working there.

We choose this hotel cause of historical atmosphere, it actually felt very luxury, like I'm a queen in my own castle. We were fall in love with nature there: lake, a lot of parks, golf. Also must mention very easy parking and great breakfast!

“A friendly welcome in a stately home!”
A wide selection of breakfast items, beautifully arranged, served in a stately room facing the lake and the garden. The house and the adjacent buildings were furnished in a mix of styles, creating a welcoming feeling: there were 19th century rooms, early 20th century lounges, a library for guest use, and even a full armour of a knight to watch over your breakfast.

“Cosy beds, excellent customer service and a lovely breakfast!”
Excellent service in the reception! They made the little extra, that made our days so much better! For example: my stockings were sctratched and they offered me a new pair (so I didn´t need to go with a big hole to a customer)!
