Finlandia Hotel Alba

Lovely lakeside location here in Jyväskylä with possibility of nice looped walks around the prom. The building is not very attractive on the outside, but room was fine except the shower flooded the bathroom floor and neant I needed to use a towel every day to soak it up. Breakjfsst was good and the staff were helpful.

While not expecting much, judging by the reviews here, I was pleasantly surprised. The rooms are very small, but sufficient and clean. The staff was super frindly, yet a bit slow (in the restaurant). The breakfast was plenty, delicious and very varied. We had one dinner in the restaurant, the menu is intriguing, it was fine cuisine, though pricy, and it's beautiful to sit and eat with the view of the lake, though frozen when I stayed here.

Liked the Door to open to see the Lake & Sauna in room

Really liked this hotel a lot. It might be showing it’s age a bit but staff couldn’t be friendlier, the breakfast was great and we appreciated borrowing bikes for free. Then it’s a very short ride into town. Also nice to take a sauna and then a dip into the lake. Parking is free.

From our first booking conversations with Tommi Sievinen to the warm welcome upon arrival, quality of rooms, dinner and breakfast, we had a very positive experience staying at Hotel Alba. The place is very nice and quiet, with a nearby park where to walk before or after dinner and Jysväkylä lake for a swim. We recommend Hotel Alba.

I piced this hotel at random, as it was directly on my route. The hotel itself is nothing "special", everything is as expected. Okay, the location by the lake is superb, and the service was very friendly and professional. But what struck me was the restaurant. It was absolutely incredible – I planned to get a quick bite, but looking at the menu I knew that wasn't going to be the case. The menu was full of amazing sounding dishes, and I had a hard time to make choices, everything looked so fantastic. And the dishes themselves didn't disappoint, the food was absolutely fantastic, also very well served and presented: 10/10. Highly recommended for foodies!

We enjoyed our night's stay a the Finlandia Hotel Alba. The room and facilities were very clean. We enjoyed having a sauna in our room.

The view from the lake-side rooms is excellent and refreshing. Also, the staff were friendly.

I was driving a long way and needed to find a place to stay over night - and this was perfect for it. It is not far from the center of Jyväskylä, but far enough to have ample parking spaces (free), easy access as you do not have to drive to the very center as well as quiet and peaceful surroundings for a good sleep. I was travelling alone and my room was small, but it was comfortable and contained everything that I needed (plus a lake scenery as a bonus). Having slept well it was nice to start the next (driving) day with a good breakfast.
