Cafe-Restaurant & Hotel Saima

Aivan ihana boutique-hotelli Olavinlinnan kupeessa. Palvelu ja ruoka olivat erinomaista, ja Saimaa sviitti viihtyisä. Paikalla tilauksesta tehty aamiainen tarjoillaan pöytään, ja sillä pärjää pitkään. Iltapäivätee oli elämys, teelaaduissa riittää valinnanvaraa, ja tarjolla olevat herkut upea lounas. An absolute gem right beside Olavinlinna Castle. Both food and service were excellent, and the Saimaa Suite was comfortable. Breakfast is made to order and served to the table. Do try the afternoon tea. It was absolutely amazing with a variety of teas to choose from and a wide selection of delights.

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.

We had a wonderful time at Hotel Saima. Johanna and her husband are the perfect hosts. Our room was beautiful and very comfortable. Johanna suggested places for us to visit along with the times of tours. We took her suggestions and found we had more time to visit more places. The breakfast was delicious. What more can one ask for? It was perfection!

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 :)

Really enjoyed staying here. Unique and beautiful, all rooms have different features. We had a room with a view of the castle . Historic building, sympathetically renovated throughout. Good breakfast and amazing cakes. Service exemplary. Will be back for the afternoon tea

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!
