- I like the History of the Hotel.
- Beautiful surroundings on the countryside by the golf course. Nice Manor house.
- Very nice place ,the room was exsellent .Having a kitchen with a refrigerstor was very important for us ,because my husband has a diabetes and needs to eat often.The garden near door was very beautiful.We drank tea in the fresh air(the weather was very warm ).The own sweeming place was also very good and convinient.
Cons -
- I am just disappointed that,there is no coffee or tea and cups and kettle at the room. and no phone to call reception if there will be an emergency.
- The golf suite is on two levels and has stairs to climb.
- No life music ,no danceing at the evening.We do not play golf unfortunately,but like very much to dance and do it whenever possible.

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!
There was a kitchen to prepare food.. This hotel is in a really beautiful environment and the breakfast is the best that I have eaten in Finland.
It was a little bit of an unpleasant surprise that there were not ala carte available in the restaurant in the mid summer evening. Just quite an expensive mid summer buffet that didn't sound any better than the lunch buffet that we had eaten in the previous day there. It would be nice if there would be a double bed available also in golf apartments.
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.
I could have used a bit more advance information about the timetables of the facilities available on site, as well as info about the lake swimming opportunities.
Good breakfast and nice area around the hotel.
Standard twin rooms are bad value for money and have no AC. I had 26°C in my room. The bathroom looks old and feels cheap.
Great location, delicious breakfast and friendly stuff!
Toilet seat and shower was dirty. Air was blowing from ventiation hole under the window, so it was pretty cold to sleep from that side.
Normal hotel breakfast offerimgs but above average quality raw-materials.Room was very quiet and the surroundings were beautiful.
There is not much to do if you are not a golfer so one nigth was enough.. It is quite far from Hämeenlinna. Hotel Wi-Fi was very poor. In the room, electric sockets were in inconvemnient locations - far from either the bed or the desk.
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)!
There weren´t so good surroundings for a run.
Everything was perfect. Beautiful room, great and abundant breakfast, delicious dinner and great sauna. Nice and helpful staff. Really recommended.
A large selection of very tasty food was offered at breakfast. Reception staff was very friendly and helpful. We also liked our room very much - the Golf Club suite was spacious, well equipped and we really enjoyed our private sauna too.
Good value for the size on room (ratsula). TV with chromecast was nice.
Rooms and Bathroom had seen its better days already.
Breakfast was super good, everything cooked perfectly. Thank you chef.
We did not stay in the main building, and there is no minibar in the room.
Old manor and grounds, well maintained.
We felt entirely out of the target audience. This upscale venue caters to tastes 30-40 years above ours, with e.g. no craft beer selection available, no real activities offered that we could notice during our one night stay, and the whole place and its clientele giving one the impression that you are among upper class, and should behave accordingly - a bit stuffy to our tastes. Also, on a technical note: we stayed on the castle grounds, and our suite bathroom had a need for a plumber (leaky toilet, drain partially clogged). We notified the staff of this on check-out, so presumably this would be addressed - otherwise the room was in good condition, even if the bathroom fixtures seemed dated (and not far back enough to match the otherwise historical decor).
Location on the country side
Air conditioning not working properly, room was 28 Celsius. Overall the place needs some work, it's more of a HAS been nowadays. Breakfast you could taste everything is industrial made, nothing fresh.
We had a good evening beach swim, then a great relaxing evening meal at the restaurant overlooking the lake. Everything really was "Tip Top" at the hotel.
Superior room in the main building. Really hot summer days still room temp stays quite fine. Windows can be opened to the park&lake. The park. Really nice old historic building with artifacts of the last century. Architecture.Restaurant gave good impression.
Hoping historic buildings are kept in as excellent condition as guest services. Here is no complaining anyway.
Breakfast was absolutely amazing. Great selection!
Great breakfeast, excellent surroundings and athmosphere.
