Reviews for Finlandia Hotel Alba

Review 1：it is really 3 star hotell, no magic. small rooms, simple furniture. no restaurants or entertainment in the neibourhood. the city center is 15 min of walking, but the walking route doesn't look safe in the night time, and the city center is bars and pubs, almost nothing to eat.. so do not be late for the evening meal at the Hotel as we did;)

Review 2：Great views and location - if you like walking/jogging/cycling. Near the University and the Lake. fantastic views in the morning from the dinning room. breakfast was fantastic.

Review 3：It is around 1.5km far from the central station. Even though it is possible to walk instead of taking a cab, it can be a long walk with suitcases and under rain. However, the location is perfect for people who have business in the university.

Review 4：It is a clean hotel with helpful staff and a good breakfast buffet. The view to the lake is also good.

Review 5：The shower door was broken (actually it didn't exist...), everything else was good.

Review 6：It's very kind of the reception that changed my suite to the lake side. Appreciate!

Review 7：My bathroom was very dirty when I came and when i requested it to be cleaned it was a bit better, but still not clean. Thankfully they then straight away, without discussion gave me another room that was very clean. I think that someone just forgot to clean it, mistakes are human!

Review 8：The hotel is situated in a wonderful location, at the lake. The breakfast in the morning is excellent with a large variety of food. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

Review 9：The Alba is an excellent hotel with friendly staff in a great location. Everything about it is first class. The breakfast is extensive and superb, with everything catered for. The location is beautiful on the side of lake Jyasjarvi. Impossible to fault.

Review 10：TV-oli pienempi kuin läppärin näyttö ja wc-/pesu tilan lattialla oli pitkiä mustia hiuksia.

Review 11：Olin varannut pienen yhden hengen huoneen, sain kahden hengen huoneen. Näköala ikkunasta oli upea.

Review 12：Despite having a modern sauna, it has too much light which make the sauna experience not so pleasant and relaxing as it should.

Review 13：Fantastic view to the lake

Review 14：thin unconfortable bed

Review 76：No tea and coffee making in room. Resturant shut on Sunday. No proper sports channels on the TV.

Review 77：It is very convenient for visiting the University JYFL. It has a nice view over the lake and of skaters etc. The food in the resturant is good. The rooms are excellent but could have more drawers for clothes and not just hanging space. The staff were always very helpful and friendly.

Review 78：Struggle to identify any.

Review 79：Very clean Beautiful lakeside setting Elegant dining room WiFi Good free parking Good extensive breakfast Lift Window-length writing desk

Review 80：The rooms are overpriced. With the same price you stay in a hotel thatoffers better comfort level.The rooms themselves would be ok if the price would be 20-25% less. The hotel should be updated in order to reflect the current prices.

Review 81：Clean rooms (although somewhat dated). Breakfast buffee was rather good(when they did not ran out of items).Staff was friendly and capable. The location is scenic (next to a lake) and it is very convenient if you visit,e.g., the university. Restaurant has a rather good selection of menu items and it is worth while to eat here.

Review 82：Rooms are small. Bathroom is very very small. Mediocre hotel yet the price seems a bit high for the standard.

Review 83：Beatiful restaurant setting at seafront also for breakfast. Adequately clean, yet very small rooms. Good parking facilities. Nice walking at the lakefront.

Review 84：We paid €3 for WIFI which did not work in our room. When asking at reception, I was told there is a problem with my computer (brand new apple ipad). Was able to connect in reception area no problem. The signal was not strong enough to reach the room.

Review 85：Great and very convenient location! Breakfast was excellent and we enjoyed sitting outside. Fantastic view from our room window. Room clean and perfect for our needs.

Review 86：The Alba Hotel is located in one of the most beautiful regions in the city. I also liked the silence, comfort, and relaxing environment. The staff was very kind and the rooms were very clean and comfortable. Thank you.

Review 87：no free internet, one you can buy not great either - for preferred university hotel - not great first time I saw not tea/coffee/water in room room was very small

Review 88：Room a little small. In-room fan would have been nice, given heat.

Review 89：A beautiful location, wonderful view, easy walk to the university and also to the train station. A nice harbor. Good breakfast. Room was standard and perfectly clean (all rooms in Finland appear to be perfectly clean).

Review 90：Clean but expensive. In most other European cities I would pay half thatamount for the quality of the accomodation offered. The owners shouldeither upgrade their hotel or lower the cost to about 60-70€.

Review 91：Location on the shoreline

Review 92：Beautiful setting on the lake across from the University, connected by a pedestrian suspension bridge. Restaurant in peaceful setting overlooking the lake.

Review 93：Location, Location and Location. Great place for calm, relaxing holidays. I recomend book Junior Suite. Its really nice view. Just 1 km and You are in city center, location near lake, Unversity and very pleasant for cycling.

Review 94：The internet connection was too, troublesome. Old-fashion to write this cryptical passwords every morning, one for the Ipad and one for the Mac. And it was impossible to get the system to remember userid and password.

Review 95：Very nice design of room and rest of hotel areas. Easy to live, easy to work. Good food.

Review 96：Room technical and optical condition not good. Shower room one slidedoor missing. Beds we rearranged so that during sleep you can switch onand off lights. Door lock was hold in place with one screw only. Doorlocks were from last century - safety? No safetybox in room. Tv channelswere mixed and not in order.

Review 97：Clean outlook Room was clean and comfortable, but

Review 98：Alba is located on the university campus and very close to other research facilities. A very nice nature environment and at walking distance from the city centre

Review 99：This hotel is 1.5 km far away from the center so be aware of this duringthe winter! I also found the personal really unpleasant.

Review 100：The breakfast was good and the view from the window of my roomwas great.

Review 101：Wi-Fi not included, you have to buy it, but the connection is very good

Review 102：Good restaurant in the hotel, in winter time it's very convenient if you arrive in the afternoon and you don't know the town.

Review 103：Sauna hours for ladies everyday ONLY from 17-18 and for men from 18-20 That was really unfair. I had to work everyday until 18/19 and couldn't go to sauna and I was really looking forward to that! Bad experience! Sauna hours could be change everyday. so men and women hours could be changed, everyone could get the chance to go every second day!

Review 104：The location, the view.

Review 105：Nothing special – much better than usual Finnish hotels (overpriced and not good looking). Standard rooms are a bit small for 2 person (looks like single room with extra bed). Breakfast was ok, but nothing special.

Review 106：Good location – 5-10 min walking from the city center, bank-located, perfect lakeside view. Free parking with plenty of space even at the fair days. Good opportunities for walking and biking. Aalvor Alto’s and Central Finland Museums are just across the road.

Review 107：The ladies sauna was too early and only for one hour so I didn't manage to have a sauna.

Review 108：The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, especially Tommy. The location on the water is lovely and peacful and its proximity to the conference at the university was perfect.

Review 109：The breakfast was modest. The tiny CRT TV lacked half of the Finnish channels.

Review 110：Nice view to the lake from the restaurant (my room was on the other side of the building so all I could see from there was the wall of some office building). The room was not too hot.

Review 111：Breakfast is poor and service in the restaurant is rather slow.

Review 112：The hotel is located in a very nice environment, still a 15 minute-walk from dowtown. The view of the lake gives a romantic impression from the room. Sauna is available for guests and the restaurant's terrace is very welcoming.

Review 113：Pay for internet!

Review 114：Good localization in the river bank. On the opposite did of Alvaar Altomuseum. Near the city 5 minutes by car. A reasonable breakfast.
