SpaHotel Hamina

The hotel is linked to a public swimming pool/sauna (called Spa Hamina) by a bridge. At your check in the hotel will offer the wristband for the spa for €10 which is the key for you to be able to use the lockers of the spa (and you can keep it throughout the duration of your stay). The €10 is not the entrance fee for the SPA, the bridge gives you access straightaway with your room card, but if you don’t buy the €10 wristband you will not be able to use the lockers, your belongings will be just there at the changing room. Said that, at the entrance of the swimming pool the same wristband costs €6, but you have 2h to return it. I am making this clear because I read some reviews here and thought the hotel was being kind of smart, but not really. The hotel is simple, decor on the 3rd floor is quite old fashioned but what else isn’t in the city? Hamina doesn’t come across very modern anyway. Everything works perfectly, it’s super clean, breakfast is included, simple but with a great range of options, there’s coffee and tea available during the whole day. Staff is somewhat nice, maybe shy sometimes for not being super fluent in English but very helpful. It’s well located, close to supermarkets and the main tourist points in Hamina, and they let me use the bikes to explore around. I loved my stay here and would repeat if I have the chance.

"Spa" turned out to be a public swimming hall with a double price. The way SpaHotel Hamina was marketed gave us the impression that it would be a Spa with its own pool department. They sold us 10€ tickets to the "Spa area" on arrival. In reality, the "Spa and wellness department" turned out to be a public swimming hall which you could access though a small bridge from the hotel. Tickets for this swimming hall would have been 4€ for a student, had we bought them straight from the swimming hall, so we where left feeling scammed. The swimming hall was so crowded that you had to queue to the showers and we couldn't fit in the sauna. The energy was very hectic overall with kids screaming and running around. Not the Spa experience we had expected and thought we paid for. When we expressed our disappointment and confusion about this misleading advertising to the staff, we were met with a lack of understanding and left feeling ridiculed. The location was perfect and very close to the old centre. The rooms where tidy and comfy. There was a nice view from a big window facing South and it was very quiet and calm.

Hamina is a lovely town, small, maritime, nice people. Hotel room where we stayed with my dogs (and mum) was really old, stuffy and no air conditioning. Breakfast was ok, also minus for that the Spa-swimming hall did not included the room price. Location also was good, town where you can go walking to anywhere.

Room was old, they do have newer rooms though, but this seemed to be "original" the room view was ok. Service was good, but it would have been nice to have some diches for the dogs in the room or they could have asked if something was needed. If you book a room from this hotel specify your room what you would like to have, like quiet room ask if there is air conditioning (if needed)... For the Spa / Swimming Hall will be 10€, not included to the room price. Town itself is a beautiful maritime city, peacefull with nice people.

The decor is a bit dated, the Spa and swimming pool is shared with the whole town. Breakfast buffet was very basic. Clean and correct facilities, bit expensive for what it is but I had a very pleasant stay here.

Super friendly staff. Extremely helpful with all my questions and concerns about local services. The apartment is very nice with all needed household items.

Good hotel, clean, generally quiet rooms with decent phonic isolation, except on weekends when the club/bar is playing loud music. You have all you need in the appartment rooms, large fridge, kitchen where you can cook, washing machine and dishwasher, many wardrobes, tables and chairs. Parking lot is free. There is also a free gym and spa. Decent internet connection.

Spa hotel in the downtown Hamina, probably one of the better hotels of the region. Parking is free in the hotel parking lot and all quests can use the spa without extra cost. I did go to the spa and cannot comment on it, but the room was quiet and tidy. Bathroom was a small and dated but clean. The breakfast is served in the adjoining Italian restaurant and, although it was nothing special, it was enough to get the day started.
