Location and preakfirst were perfect.

Super friendly staff, tasty breakfast. Room didn't have anything extra or special. Interesting old military building.

the location is really convenient, 10 minutes away from the airport. The room was big and well equipped for our three kids. There is also a play room.

The breakfast was excellent - good choice and quality. On the departure day, I had to leave early and (as a nice surprise) I was provided a breakfast package.

No option to make tea or coffee in the room. But there is common room on floor where you can get those. Same goes with the fridge. So, not a big problem.

Location, building itself and decorations were great.

The breakfast is nice but there is no scrambled egg or bacon. But given that it offers much better value for money than comparable hotels in Lappeenranta, that is not a big problem.

Very good price-value, located in the center of Lappeenranta - generally cheaper than comparable offers (Sokos and Scandic). Our to-go-to hotel when visiting Lappeenranta!

Breakfast was not very good and more items

Maybe I missed it from the description but the whole place was military themed and in the old army barracks, which was a bit unsettling having breakfast next to landmines, but quite fun in the end, just unexpected.

Big rooms and bathrooms, comfortable

The playroom was a bit untidy, but that didn’t really bother us.

Hotel Rasmussen felt welcoming and homely. It was clean and roomy. We loved the breakfast. The location was great and it was good to have ample space for (free) parking. If we stayed longer we would have used the playroom upstairs. That was a good added bonus.

Nothing that comes to my mind.

Comfortable and quiet rooms. Good breakfast, with cozy atmosphere. Next to city center, surrounded by historical buildings and area. EV-charging.

Fridge in the room would have been nice.

Nicely renowated old barracks turned into a hotel. Good breakfast was included. No carpet was good for us. Friendly service. Parking close by.

Nothing! Keep up the great job.

Strategic location, 5 mins walk to town area, good facilities, quiet area and breakfast is good. Pet-friendly hotel with bed and feeding bowl provided.

Our room could have been better vacuumed, but otherwise all good :)

We had a family room and it was great for our needs! The playroom was excellent, and the breakfast was 10/10 for a cold breakfast 😊 the coffee was very good which is not always the case! Location was also quite good - easy to reach from the highway and a short walk into town.

The hotel is within easy walking distance of the centre of town and if you want a leg stretch, the fort area is within walking distance. Parking is free but it is more than a bit tricky to get to the hotel, particularly with the current road works being done. Siri (Apple) led us to the address but the road is blocked by permanent bollards. Google Maps was better, getting us inside the barracks area but not to the hotel. We left the car, walked across the barracks to ask for instructions and then returned to get the car. The hotel may benefit from putting a map with clear instructions on their website on how to drive to the hotel and park.

We chose to break our return journey from Juva via Savonlinna at Lapeenranta. We weren’t sure what to expect but liked the look of this hotel, which is part of a former military barracks on the edge of the city. The outside of the hotel has an institutional look to it but the interior has been tastefully decorated and the rooms are very pleasant. Each room is named after a person who was stationed at the barracks and there’s a little bio about them on the desk. Room was a good size with individually controlled air conditioning and, wonder of wonders, a window that opened. Bed was large and linen was pristine. The bathroom is modern but I was surprised that there was shower curtain rather than shower screen, given the pricing of the hotel. Excellent blackout curtains that are needed in summer where there is daylight almost 24hrs a day. The building is solid. Very solid. This means that it’s well soundproofed from outside noise and in the halls. The second floor has a ‘relaxation area’ which is like a common room where there’s a fridge for you to leave cold items, kettle, ice machine, coffee maker tables chairs, a wide screen TV etc. They also have a separate play room for kids. On the third floor is a recreation area with small pool table, air hockey etc. Everything is in perfect condition. Breakfast is in the breakfast room on the ground floor. People have complained that the breakfast is ‘not that great’ but coming from a country where breakfast is *never* included, a breakfast of cereal & bread, cheese & ham, yoghurt & pastries, coffee and juice is a real treat.

Value for money is okay but not excellent.

The place is a repurpose of an old military base, so the building is very different from what one would expect from a hotel - and for us this was a good thing. It has a strange charm. Everything is simple, but very comfortable. All works well in the room. Super comfortable. Walking distance from the center of Lappeenranta. Easy to get to and free parking available. Friendly staff.

Sauna is not mixed. So if you travel with you partner you can go at same time (there are 2 different hours, 1 for female and 1 for male)

Nice breakfast Free sauna in the morning Large room Comfy bed

The hotel has a very nice playroom for children and a shared kitchen, where you can have tea/coffee or microwave your food at any time. In general the hotel is very family-friendly. Also there is a pizza vending machine at the corner of the hotel, the pizzas are pretty tasty by the way. The interior is very interesting with reference to the historical background.

The WiFi was good in most places but a weak signal in our room (probably due to the thick building walls). The building is one of many heritage buildings in the old military base so it is a bit hard to find the front door on arrival. The bathroom has the dreaded psycho plastic shower curtain that attacks during a shower and the taps take up significant space in the shower so it is either a plastic rap or bruised elbows while showering. The bathroom has no shelf space for toiletries so we had to keep them in the wardrobe which was a bit annoying. Breakfast could be better as it is only a continental breakfast (no hot eggs etc). Would we stay here again if we were in town again? Definitely.

Good sized room, lovely decor acknowledging the building's heritage. Lovely reception staff. The air conditioning was wonderful during a couple of hot days. Parking is plentiful, free and easy to access. Great desk in the room with power points in accessible locations. Very comfortable bed and linen. Lighting is good and accessible. Very quiet location and soundproof room. Easy walk to all the town's best locations, restaurants, harbour and the forts. Good to see heritage buildings being repurposed vs demolition.

Breakfast was great!

I needed to go to work very early each morning and the friendly staff told me that I was able to have the hotel breakfast already at 6:30 despite the "official" time for breakfast was starting at 7:00.

The staff was very friendly and the breakfast was simple and good.
