Hotel Cumulus Resort Valtionhotelli, Imatra, Finland - the first time we rested in this hotel. We arrived at 10:30 and immediately settled in, the staff is friendly and welcoming, speaks only Finnish and English. The room, in the castle building on the 4th floor - pleased, clean and comfortable, snow-white linen, bathrobes, slippers, kettle, coffee, tea and even cookies - everything is in place, there was no balcony, there is a mini bar, but it is paid, view to the canyon. Here are just TV channels, including Russian paid ones - 1.25 euros per day. The bathroom is small, hot water does not come immediately, you need to spill it. The elevator is quite modern and silent. Wi-Fi catches throughout the territory, including the room itself. Smoking is not allowed in the room so we had to go outside. SPA area in the new building, you need to go through a warm, underground corridor. For men, only one sauna and a small number of lockers, for women, two saunas and a hammam. Small pool, two jacuzzis and sunbeds. The sauna is big and cozy.
Although the hotel is completely filled, the presence of the people is not felt at all, only passing tours are possible, many walk, inspect the surroundings of the castle, or visit shops. The center is 200-300 meters away, there are many clothing and footwear stores, if you need groceries, you can walk about 2 km. along the coast and get to the square of 4 large shops (Prisma, Raya Market, Lidl, City Market), you can return by taxi on average 12-14 euros. Breakfasts are included, everything is as usual - there are no frills (sausages, bacon, scrambled eggs, eggs, cheese, ham, sausage, porridge, yogurt), we didn’t go for dinner - the prices were not pleasing, there are places near the hotel where you can eat tasty and hearty for a small fee:
for example, a fish shop is very close, where there is a very tasty fish soup with cream and fish sandwiches to choose from, the cost of lunch for two is 23-30 euros,

there is a well-known McDonald's and 2-3 self-service cafes.
This hotel is suitable mainly for shopping and leisurely, quiet pastime with walks along the waterfall, canyon, lake, without fuss and noise. The impressions from the stay were the most positive, but for an active holiday is it better to choose Imatran Kylpyl? 4+.
