Scandic Aulanko

A great location with water and forests around the hotel and a walking distance from the Aulanko observation tower and the Häme Castle. A very nice spa, a small but a sufficient gym, a good breakfast, lovely staff. Great for a few days or a weekend in Hämeenlinna.

A shame they don't have a water kettle in the room, the spa and the gym close early (8pm on weeknights), and the Italian restaurant should step up its game (quite generic). Also, at least our room would need a refurbishing quite soon to be in line with the price of the place. Most furniture pieces were ok (the curtains were torn though), but the room and the bathroom seem dated.

+ beautiful wellness hotel and locationn close to a small sea + wellness area is very nice - different saunas, and different pools with different temperatures + nice equiped small gym + various breakfast buffet- there s 4 every 1 sth and good time windows : Mo-Sat: 630-10 am, Sun 730-11 am even in the last hour on Sat, Sun - the breakfast buffet is always refilled and there is free space to sit down + Spa is included and for free as well sauna, big time windows: Mo-Thurs: 8am-8 pm, Fr-Sat: 8 am -9pm, Sun 8am-7pm - very big, and there s a small outdoor pool as well + Nice bowling facility + lots of outdoor activities : Minigolf , Climbin area, walking area around the sea, and at end of sea there s a nice castle to visit, and if sth missing you re by car in town in 5 minutes + We ve been there for a wedding: free ironing room at Room no 221 was saving me :) + Stabil internet + Hotel shop offers from Snacks, Drinks to swim wear , tooth brush .. everything u need + Hotel shop has as well a little pharmacy shop if u ve fever, headache... + 24 hour reception and hotel shop + very cleaned hotel, helpful staff - ordered extra pillows and they were there at arrival + ordered a silent room and got one on higher floor , had a great sleeping quality + all in all I d stay there again and this hotel complex is very recommendable and has a good standard - and the location is very beautiful + very good tap water - you dont have to buy bottle water

- location is bit outside from Hämelina - so u need a car to come, but there s as well a bus connection from the railwaystation - Staff is a bit stiff - and not so communicative - but for Finnland its friendly :) - as I travel very much - some interaction at check in d make you feel more welcome - but its probably the mentality - Finnland is not Austria or Sweden :) ( where are you from, how was your travelling to our hotel... we ve chosen this room for you - is this ok or do you want to make an upgrade.... communciation is the key between customer and staff) - water boiler was missing at the room - which should be a standard, and at the reception there was no possibily to rent one

The first thing you notice upon arrival is that all things around hotel are pretty old-fashioned. I would say it is a retro hotel. But if you don't concentrate on lack of modern style of furniture & all things around hotel in general you can see that all services are superb. SPA area is great, staff are polite, friendly & professional, rooms are good & bed is comfy & cozy. Breakfast was simply amazing & location & surrounding of the hotel are breathtaking. :) So I totally recommend this hotel. :))

It is one of the most pet-friendly hotels i have been to! And the location is perfect with wonderful scenery. Absolutely there was more value in the hotel than the price I have paid. Plus very good breakfast. For sure i use the same hotel again.

For travelling with 2 medium size dogs (bull terriers) + the crates, the single room was bit too small. It was actually my mistake to book a single room, I should have checked the square meters. Single room is for one guest perfect, but with 2 dogs and 2 dog crates the room was not big enough. I recommend for people with medium size dog (s) to book a bigger room or a double room.

The setting was outstanding, right near a beautiful forest park on one side, and overlooking a lake on the other side. The room was pleasant and comfortable and the spa had a lovely warm pool with massage jets. If I was slightly taller I could have seen the lake from the pool.

The lobby was rather gloomy and didn't give a good first impression. Otherwise nothing to complain about.

Great pool, sauna, breakfast, the location is green and beautiful; the hotel has a little shop and coffee 24/7; the price included a very the use of a comfy robe perfect for the spa.

The room terrace was dirty. the room have coffee maker but the coffee is not a courtesy, they don't explain that the slipper next to the spa robe it's not include in the price. the room have a tablet for call to the restaurant or lobby, nobody take the phone.

The spa was great. The breakfast was better than expected. The stuff was kind and friendly. The room was clean but the rooms should be renovated.

The rooms should be renovated but they are exactly like the photos shown. "Scandic Aulanko" is a really good option for Hämeenlinna.

First floor room with a terrace and lake view was a nice surprise for a family with a kid. Spa is compact with all the needed activities and the water is really nice & warm in all pools. Hotel surroundings are beautifull and inviting you for outdoor activities.

Service in restaurant was slow and close to rude. Dinner quality was also just ’ok’. Some parts of the hotel is not actively cleaned as we saw food boxes not moving during our 3 night stay.

Nice swimming pool area with a variety of pools with different temperatures, Sauna, Very nice breakfast, Possible to stay with pets.

There was some problem with the condition of towels, bedsheets and bathrobes. They were washed, but not absolutely clean - some dirty spots (maybe they can't be removed) were visible. We missed a water boiler in the room, it could be very convenient to have it.

Clean rooms, nice spa area and really tasty food.

I booked a double room - one of the last avaliable. The room was located in older half of the hotel - there was not really nice smell in the hallway and it was cold in the room.
