Cafe-Restaurant & Hotel Saima

The loveliest and most welcoming family owned boutique hotel. Restaurant cafe conveniently in the same building. Wonderful location next to the Olavinlinna Castle and plenty of free parking. The rooms are amazing, an old building converted into cozy rooms, each with a different theme. Ideal for couples but also spare bed available for a little one.

Very nice family owned hotel. Very friendly staff. The owners are lovely, the rooms were neat, clean and cozy. The location is beautiful, 3 minute walk from the castle and museum. We had a nice walk next to the lake. Definitely recommend it. You need to plan and book a bit early due to limited room availability. Thank you Johanna and David for the lovely experience.

We had the Green Room in September since we wanted to have a relaxing holiday/staycation outside the opera season, and this tiny hotel ended up being one of the best places we've visited ever! Breakfast, friendly service, rooms, tranquility, location, shops and attractions nearby, the café - everything is very cozy and lovely here, everything works and the house is very charming. Big plus for a shared kitchenette downstairs where we could make tea and coffee whenever needed AND buy evening snack from the café and they would deliver it to the kitchenette fridge for us. Lovely! ＜3 Highly recommend this place and also early Autumn for a relaxing visit if you're not a big fan of the summer hazzle & crowds during opera season (July) but want to enjoy seeing the castle and lakeside. Also absolutely worth for staying several nights, I noticed that most people came only for 1 night (what a waste) but I could have stayed the whole week. Only thing we didn't realize is to book ahead for afternoon tea, but that is easily corrected since we are definately going back again :)

Nice, small hotel near Saint Olaf's Casttle at the old town of City of Savonlinna. Beatiful room with Casttle view. Excellent breakfast (also dietary restrictions were noticed) and friendly service.

We stayed for one night at Hotel Saima recently and it was the perfect choice for a short stay in Savonlinna. The location is awesome, a two minute walk away from Olavinlinna Castle and close to the lakeside walkways. The rooms are adorable and seem recently remodeled in period style. We stayed in the green room and it was beautiful, with high ceilings and plenty of space. The person who checked us in was really friendly and we learned when we checked out that she was part of a local family who also own a bakery in town. We booked directly through the Hotel's website and our booking included breakfast. The breakfast was left in the fridge for us to serve ourselves in the morning and included some pastries, cold cuts, cheese and yoghurt parfait. Definitely recommend staying here if you are headed to Savonlinna!

We stayed in the castle view room for two nights with my husband and we really enjoyed it! The staff was super friendly and helpful. Breakfast and everything else we had in the restaurant was delicious. The hotel was clean and the room well equipped. This place has a lot of character and they have put a lot of attention on details. Thanks a lot, we’ll be back!
