Hotel Villa Vanessa

The location and view from the balcony

No english or finnish speaking staff, messy, we didn't get the double bed we asked for

Simple and affordable

Check in (getting in) was delayed, couldn't contact official phone number. By luck some of the staff arrived and let us in.

would definitely choose another property if knew in advance it's ran by russians. Usual set:illiterate in englishunaware of advance payment done through booking.comjust in place

I had late arrival and they made it possible for me to get in

For me the only bad thing was the color off the walls

Spacious room, decorated in a very kitsch style, with a very comfortable sofa and very good bedding. The rooms in building A overlook the surrounding countryside. A small lake with a lovely swimming beach is just 200m away.

We were looking for a cheap place to stay one night before going to the asuntomessu in Loviisa (after an afternoon in Kotka) so this place was a good price and in the correct area, though there really isn't much to see nearby (my wife walked to a lake and a shop within a kilometer). The room was a bit bigger than I expected - two single beds on opposite ends of the room with a short sofa between, and a sofa table. There was adequate storage for unpacking (though we didn't for this short stay). Everything was on the ground floor, with a porch door with outside table and chairs next to the parking. Parking was free and adequate (I don't think the hotel was full). The hotel was quite quiet and the beds were comfortable. The bathroom was basic but everything there worked.

We received a text message in Finnish the same day giving two codes - one to get into the hotel and another to get the key to our room. We didn't see any hotel staff at all our whole stay, neither during check-in nor check-out. Maybe that's a weekend thing. Luckily, I understand a little Finnish or this might have been a big problem. The details of the hotel mentioned an optional breakfast. I'm not sure how that would have worked without any hotel staff, if we had wanted that. The hotel is kind of T shaped and our GPS took us to the right side of the T. There was an unclear sign there about the reception being 150 meters away, to the left. We walked to the left (had to open a wire gate and walk through some overgrown, semi-blocked path) without success, before realizing we had to drive back to the road and find another end of the hotel, on the left side of the T. Luckily, that side of the T wasn't as run-down as the other but, as I had read in other reviews, things were quite old fashioned, needing updating. The room itself was a little smelly (not cigarette smells, as I had read in another review, but musty smell - not overpowering bad - livable) and things (bedding, couch) felt slightly damp but anyway survivable. Several of the TV channels had some kind of pixellation problem so couldn't be watched. We shared the room with a couple flies (maybe they came in when we opened the porch door) and the bathroom with some ants. But the price was ½, even 1/4 of other places I had looked at, so I could consider staying there (for just one night, no longer) if I ever need a place in that area again.

Clean, easy remote checkin, very peaceful quiet property.

All was great.

Best value for the money in the region, if you need to sleep during your journey. bathroom✅ terrace✅ 24/7 check in✅

I have no complaints for this money

Value for money.

Some towels with holes. Extra money asked for just talking in front room of the sauna without using the steam room

nature ?

old modern interior, like in a museum 80. very thin walls. the electric shield is in the room, it can make a sound that does not let you sleep!

Location for my needs was great. Hotel staff very responsive even if not physically present

Room had a stuffy smell and especially bathroom would need renovation

Price, location.

Smell of mould in the hallway and in the room. Could not stay longer than one night.

Nice and comfortable room. Well equiped and situated. Helpful staff. Recommended

It was easy to get in. All works, was clean. Not most homey, but enough when need to get in shower and bed.

The prize was good

The room was cold and there was a nasty smell. I was hoping to get coffee in the morning, especially if there wasn't season and all places were closed. the all room was painted and decorated in pink, this was a little too much even I like pink very much.

Good price for the value. Easy to check in and out. Lil terrace for each room. Perfect if u want to arrive to a festival but don’t want to sleep in the tent ⛺️

Bugs may arrive ?? But that’s understandable cuz the rooms are like lil cottage style - student low budget style.

Comfortable bed, private terrace, good value. Possibility for simple cooking in the room.

No breakfast.

Location is good and the price still not very cheap compared to the service provided! but because Finland is an expensive country it’s considered very cheap hotel

There was no signal in the tv and Not very clean room! The bed was ok and comfy but we found Spider web near the TV ?? and There was broken pieces of glass in the balcony

All is OK. Very good staff

Ordering system is well organized

TV picture was very poor
