Reviews for Hotel Santalahti

Review 1：Very convenient, clean and comfortable hotel, there is everything to feel like at home. The personal was so friendly and helpful, we greatly appreciate their help. Fantastic breakfast. Picturesque location. Also we liked the beds, very soft and comfortable. Besides there was a nice sauna and a possibility of dining.

Review 2：Maybe we came late but got a room close to sauna. All night was very hot!!! No ventilation in the room. Windows are sealed. The toilet and shawer are primitive.

Review 3：Location stuff breakfast

Review 4：The rooms looking at the sea, though having the same price, are, however, not equivalent in comfort. Our review concerns specifically room no. 7. The wardrobe in this room is lacking (only standing hanger is available), and the shower strongly leaked in the point of connection to the flexible tube, so it was difficult to use it. We pointed out the problem with the shower at our previous stay, but nothing was done in 3 weeks.

Review 5：We have stayed at this hotel several times and intend to stay in the future. The hotel apparently has no alternatives, at least in the Kotka region, for those who would like to combine near-border shopping with relax in picturesque and calm surrounding, with excellently equipped beach and beautiful walking paths.

Review 6：Sauna department was unapproachable with plastic mat and a transparent curtain. The pillows in the bed were probably intended for babies, very flat and small, and there was about 15 cents threshold to the bathroom. Breakfast was pretty sad ...

Review 7：The best thing about the hotel was cheerful and friendly lady at the bar when we arrived in the evening. In the morning, there was a sleepy teen boy at the reception. The hotel's interior is straight from the 70's but could use updating, indeed.

Review 8：No sound insulation between the rooms. Decoration and style from the past decades.

Review 9：A good breakfast and friendly staff. Price/quality ration is good.

Review 10：The rooms are pretty old and might need renovation. We also found the restaurant quite expensive.

Review 11：If you book a room witg sea view you can be sure you'll get it. Beatiful view, nice balcony, fresh air. Nice staff, nice restaurant, lots of parking space.

Review 12：- All furniture was old and a bit greasy. - It was not really clean in the place, however there was a strong smell of cleaning liquids. - There was no AC, and the windows wouldn't open (except one tiny part). - The place seems to be a motel for the Russian tourists travelling by car to Finland.

Review 13：- Good surroundings.

Review 14：Old smell in the building, no double beds, old shower, wi-fi works only downstairs in the restaurant. In the room it will work occasionally.

Review 15：A good location, right next to the beach, each room has a balcony, a pretty terrace with tables and view. Very delicious fish soup.

Review 16：Noise from nearby highway bridge.

Review 17：Good size cottage for 4 and very small for 2 people. Multiple saunas (private and public) right next to the cold water lake.

Review 18：Lack of a/c in the room. It is desirable for curtains to be denser.

Review 19：Location on the shore of the Gulf of Finland in a picturesque place. The hotel is surrounded by pines and birches. It is convenient for swimming and walking. Quiet and relaxing atmosphere. Good breakfast. Easy to access by car.

Review 20：WIFI was not working in my room. Downstairs it worked sometimes, but connection failed quite a lot. Cleaning could be better. Beds are not made up every day, but once every 2 or 3 days.

Review 39：The hotel from 1975 has seen better days and shows now the decay of a house, which never has been really modernised. The furniture and the very small bathroom of our room Nr. 5 were in a dreadful condition. Breakfast is very simple.....but you have to pay 100 Euros for this special hospitality.......

Review 43：The bathroom had no ventilation, it was tiny and not exactly modern.

Review 44：Location is perfect especially if you get a lake view. Little balconies in the rooms are made for calm summer nights of reading/ thinking/ drinking/ talking/ you name it. Breakfast was pretty much alright, although I thought on a Sunday it could have been longer than till 10.30...
