Hotel Alba

Breakfast is amazing and you can enjoy outside on the terrace. What a wonderful impressive place with a spectacular view on the waterfront 🫶

Hotel was nice and easy to find. Parking area were fully loaded but luckily we managed to get space from hotel staff who went home. Breakfast was average but good. Hotel is bit high price if compare other hotels with same price level. Big minus about small or crowded parking space.

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.

Very nice hotel right at the lake. The water was right below my rooms window! The room itself was tidy and we'll furnished. The breakfast had many options, some of them vegan. Service was professional and polite.

Good price-quality balance. Top-notch customer service.

I had a memorable stay at the hotel. What made my stay awesome was the brand new sauna and the bicycles offered as part of the stay. There was breakfast buffet which was decent. I really enjoyed having breakfast looking at the lake and bridge while the sun was shining. It was just a peaceful and relaxing experience. The customer service was of the highest standards both at the reception and later when I had dinner (burger) and a cocktail. The burger was delicious and super fresh. The cocktail (Aperol Spritz) was just about right. I highly recommend Hotel Alba for your stay at Jyväskylä. It’s perfect for couples too! I won’t be forgetting the view from the hotel any time soon.

The hotel is located on the shore of beautiful Lake Jyväsjärvi, in line of sight of one of University of Jyväskylä's campuses. The city center is a 20-minute walk away. If you plan to spend a lot of time in the room, this may not be a great choice for you as the rooms are small and fairly modestly outfitted. If, however, you plan to sleep there, have breakfast and be away for the day, this is an excellent choice at a reasonable price. The rooms are clean and pleasant, with well outfitted bathrooms and good hot water pressure. Access to high speed internet is unproblematic. Breakfast is included and provides an excellent selection; if you want to fully enjoy it I'd suggest planning to skip lunch. You'll get excellent service at the restaurant, bar and reception. There are two or three beers on tap but you're better off with bottles - this sees to be a more general recommendation in Finland, even in there are many good Finnish beers. The path around the lake is perfectly suited for a jog or a bike ride and the hotel provides bikes at no extra charge. Unfortunately, there is no gym. My only complaint is that smoking is allowed on the beautiful patio and one may get the occasional whiff of cigarette smoke in the rooms situated immediately above. I may be biased because I was there on university business (see campus across the lake in the attached picture) but am definitely looking forward to my next visit.

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.
