Scandic Imatran Valtionhotelli

Room got basic comforts. We slept in cheapest room during Imatranajo weekend. I dont liked bed because its too soft and springs in mattress feels in my back. Room is very dark because it has two tiny windows but view in window to Imatrankoski is absolutely stunning. Room doesnt has air climate so its too warm but fortunately evening its cold so we opened windows. Hotel has long history and decor classic. Atmosphere in hotel is lovely. Breakfast is basic hotel breakfast. In brief, hotel atmosphere is nice but in my opion, price and hotel room doesnt meet.

We were looking forward going to Scandic Valtionhotelli because of his past history. We were housed in the new building room 2029... and our stay wasn't great at all. Despite being clean, the room looked dirty because of the pronounced wear and tear everywhere: multiple scratches on the floor, french window with the wooden frame scratched and damaged, balcony dirty beyond belief. In the bathroom, the shower cabin's windows/doors were dirty with limestone, as well as leaking water below the shower doors, resulting of having a small pond of water in the bathroom. Unfortunately, the breakfast did not redeem the room: only industrial food on offer. From meatballs to cheese, to weird looking scramble eggs, everything was straight from supermarket packaging, even the pancakes. Sure, everything was available on large quantities, but only to mask the lack of quality. To be fair, service was good, and they had a secure bike garage. Once, not twice. (2 stars for hotel experience + 1 for service and garage)

Nice place, nice personnel, but rooms in the new building need more cleaning in the bathroom. Additional bed was not a normal bed, was an extended armchair which was smelling funny.
