Hotel Punkaharju — Hotel in Savonlinna sub-region

Forest room was over prized and humble. it was crazy hot and there was none ventilator, you could not keep the window open because mosquito net was 'broken'. No running water. No wifi. Small fridge was very noisy. And only 4 hanger for the clothes. No wardrobe.There was cloustrophbic feeling. Forestroom is not hotel room and it is not camping area, the concept is odd. There should be running water inside the room and table in the outside near the forestroom. It was quite ok to walk to the common showers but outside toilet and sharing it with all, was not good idea, now in this covidtime. Every forest room should atleast have own outside toilet. One night there was group of people drinking and listening music outside VERY loud, 02:00 I did contact to duty person but she didn't do anything. Breakfast was humble. Restaurant's food was good, not excellent. Reception service was little bit like a internship.

My friend, used to go there with her family when she was young. ||||After lunch, well served in a light-filled airy dining room, with a view of the lake and woods, we walked around the area, down to the lake, where a large boat had just docked. We found out we could have taken the boat(three hours) from Savonlinna, but we drove (half an hour) On our walk, we found many of the plants used in lunch.||||A...

Stayed in one of the forest cabins. It was much larger than I expected, which was a nice surprise. Windows have mosquito nets, so you can get nice draft through the cabin. However you might consider taking mosquito spray to get rid of the ones which have slipped in. Location is awesome very close to lake and you can easily find a place to go swimming in the clear lake water. And by the way hotel towels are big, so you can wrap yourself in them. However be adviced that forest cabins do not have running water or toilet. There are outhouses nearby and taps to get drinking water. Shower and water closet is avaible in a shipping container type arrangement.

And if you are not visiting during midsummer you might want bring a flashlight for...
