We stayed in the hotel part, which was nice. No ac (like most places). Very historic and romantic.
Beautiful property, excellent restaurant with good food. Only recommend you upgrade the mattresses for better sleeping experience.

A beatiful building and atmosphere. The rooms are quite small but understand that this is an old building. I would like better lights and lamps; it was not cozy with the overhead lamps and no bedside lamps for reading.
Location is nice but service was not top standard. Food was local but not premium standard

Huolella kunnostettu perinteikÀs hotelli hienossa ympÀristössÀ. Palvelu toimii ja kaikki on kohdallaan. HyvÀ kokemus!

Home sweet home
Upea paikka vielÀ upeamalla sijainnilla.
Remontin ja ympÀristön siistimisen tarvetta on. NenÀ arveli ettÀ hometta sviitin rakenteista kyllÀ löytyy.
Illallismenu todella hyvÀ ja enemmÀn kuin hintansa arvoinen. Suosittelen.
Sijainti on erinomaisen kaunis, maisemat todella kauneinta Suomea. Oma huoneeni oli Keisarinnan Huvilassa. Kun pahimmat helteet olivat majoittuessani jo ohi, ei ilmastoinnin puuttuminen huoneesta haitannut. Kaikki muut asiat huoneessa oli todella erinomaista; tilava, erinomainen vuode, sisustus.
Erityismaininnan ansaitsee Ravintola MetsÀ, jossa tarjolla oli erinomainen illallinen ja todella maistuva aamiainen. LÀhiruokaa parhaimmillaan!
Ulkoilumahdollisuudet kauniissa luonnossa tekevÀt tÀstÀ hotellista hyvÀn lomakohteen vaikkapa kesÀviikonlopuksi.
Hotelli Punkaharju on upea kohde jo pelkÀstÀÀn luonnon ja sen historian takia. Majoituimme viehÀttÀviin rantamökkeihin, joissa mökeissÀ ei ole WC/suihkua. MeillÀ oli ns huussi tien toisella puolella. Huoltorakennuksen WC- & suihkutilat vajaan 100m pÀÀssÀ.
ErittÀin siisti ja mukava mökki. HellekesÀnÀ hyttysverkko -ikkunat pelastivat meidÀt, kun saimme lÀpivedon aikaiseksi. Mökin senkissÀ baarijÀÀkaappi juomineen sekÀ kahvin-/teenkeittomahdollisuus. Makuuhuoneen lisÀksi mukava alkovi/istuinryhmÀ (=vuodesohva).
Hotellin julkiset tilat siistit. Rav. MetsÀssÀ tarjoiltu aamiainen on mielestÀni aivan poikkeuksellinen Suomessa. Aamiainen on kattava, ei laaja, mutta erinomaisen laadukas paikallisista tuotteista koostuva. Puolet tarjolla noutopöydÀstÀ puolet tilattavissa à la carte-listalta omien mieltymysten mukaisesti. Gluteenittomuus huomioitu erinomaisesti. Champagnea / huokuviiniÀ myös tilattavissa erillistÀ korvausta vastaan.

Ei hintansa arvoinen
Pieni huone, todella kuuma. SisÀÀnkirjautumisen yhteydessÀ pyydettiin maksamaan huone uudelleen vaikka maksettu jo. Ei kerrottu aamupalan aikataulusta tms, jouduin myöhemmin palaamaan selvittÀmÀÀn asiaa. Ohimennen toisilta asiakkailta kuulin aamusaunasta, tÀstÀkin olisi ollut hyvÀ kertoa. Aamupalalla osa tuotteista oli tilattava erikseen, esim jugurtti, palvelu oli hidasta ja muu aamupala oli aikaa sitten syöty kun tilaus tuli. Periaatteessa ihan ok yöpyminen, jos hinta olisi ollut puolet nykyisestÀ- tÀhÀn hintaan odotan jo vÀhÀn enemmÀn.
Wonderful place next to an incredible lake with pure and warm water to swim. An excellent breakfast is included in the room price. Nice hotel staff. High recommendation!

It was very romantic, quiet, so clear and clean water, beatiful rooms, excellent wood. All was amazingđ
Yövyimme mukavissa mökeissÀ ihan rannalla. Mökki ole oikein kiva. Aamiainen oli laadultaan erinomainen, ehkÀ valikoimaa voisi vielÀ hieman kehittÀÀ. Hotellin tenniskenttÀ oli kiva. Illallinen ravintola MetsÀssÀ oli erinomainen, muikut ja kuha erinomaisia. Upeat ulkoilumaastot ja nÀkymÀt.
Upea miljöö, ystÀvÀllinen ja aito henkilökunta, Ravintola MetsÀ 10+ aamupala ehkÀ paras mitÀ ole saanut vaikka matkustan ulkomailla yli 100 yötÀ viikossa
Staying at Hotel Punkaharju was the highlight of our week long trip in Finland.
A historic destination among the most beautiful landscapes in the whole country (a road leading to the hotel called Vuosisadan tie was voted as the most scenic in Finland), Hotel Punkaharju has been restored to its old grandeur with just the right touches of modern day living. Shampoos and conditioners from FrÀntsilÀ, adored those. Best bed we slept in during the entire trip. The beautiful surrounding nature and a morning dip in lake Puruvesi, heaven.
Are the hotel rooms a bit pricey? Yes, and they should be. This type of stay is the epitomy of the quiet luxury trend. Especially the breakfast and separate menu dinner at Restaurant MetsÀ - just oozing that impeccable respect for both high standard local ingredients and excellent customer service.
I urge everyone traveling in Savonlinna region to book a night or two at Hotel Punkaharju. Truly an experience worth living.
