Hotel Salora — Hotel in Salo sub-region

Salo does not seem to receive many foreign visitors. This somewhat obscure hotel is located in what was once the factory of Salora, the Finnish radio and television set manufacturer. Part of the premises was also converted to a gym and a museum dedicated to Salora.

I was the only guest and spent about three hours looking at old TVs. Unfortunately, everything is in Finnish—the guide went to the trouble to give me some English explanations, as well as she could, for which I...

Everything was great, the check-in process was so easy with the instructions from the hotel, and so convenient because we were able to come to the hotel on our own schedule. The staff was very helpful to help us to extend our stay on the go and they replied all our messages very quickly. The breakfast was nice, and facilities offered with the room were very nice. The room was spacious and clean, and the bathroom especially very modern. Lots of space for parking the car, and the location of the hotel was convenient. Easy drive or walk to the city center and quick drive to the highway out from Salo. We really enjoyed our stay here, and thought that hotel was really good value for money! Definitely...
