I liked that the Accra to pools and saunas were included in the room price. The breakfast was very good with various options. Nice garden and activities outdoors.
There was only soap and shower gel in the bathroom. would be nice to have shampoo as well.

Peaceful location in the countryside behind a winding road - still only 32 minutes drive from downtown Helsinki. The spa facilities were basic but comfortable - what's best, the spa was included in the fairly inexpensive room rate. The breakfast was good and served in the beatiful mansion building. There was plenty of free parking and also several free e-charging spots (16A slow charging only).
The main mansion is beautiful, but the accommodation and the spa are in a separate building, which doesn't provide such great architecture. It's still fine. The room was pretty basic as the price suggests :)

Reception forgot to put the key for me, and I had to wait 1 hour for someone to come and hand over the key.

The location is great, if planning to explore the nearby nature and trails or just looking for a off-the-radar place.
The manor itself is great and nice place to have breakfast.
The "spa" is good plus, but I wouldn't go there for that.
The room was more like a student lodging than a hotel room.
I was in the impression on the marketing that the rooms are in the manor. The name is confusing.
8.0
Very nice place to stay. Not long from Helsinki, the room was clean and cozy. Lot of space for belongings.
Travelled with dogs and for that reason the place was awesome. The manor was in the middle of nature and there were beautiful trails to walk.
Bathroom could be bit larger
7.0
Nice and quiet place in countryside but very close to the city of Espoo.
Good place for walks in the forest.
Very nice wet sauna.
Room temp. and water in jacuzzy could be warmer.
Also no kettle in the room.

I was traveling alone with two small kids, and this place was perfect for that. Lovely jacuzzi/warm pool for the kids, not crowded, really calm, good dinner and breakfast, friendly staff and big room for all of us. nice garden / walking paths. Next time I’ll stay longer than just one night.

Breakfast buffet with large selection of food, English and Scandinavian dishes.
Quiet location just near the car museum.
A long way out from Espoo centre on my bicycle, with too many ups and downs along the lake.
Bus or private car would be better suited.

Lovely location in the countryside. Nice spa area (especially since we had it completely for ourselves) with whirlpool, steam room, sauna and pool. The reception staff was very friendly and helpful. Great price overall.
The rooms were very basic. It would have been nice with spa slippers, so you wouldn't have to walk there in your shoes. The restaurant was in the old manor building, which is lovely, but the restaurant was a big disappointment. The menu consisted of 5 mains of which 3 were burgers and no starters at all. I had a burger which was ok, but would have wanted to eat something a bit fancier in the great setting. Also candles on the table would have added to the sterile atmosphere.

Lovely old hotel but rooms are just that - old. Spa was an extra bonus and quiet
The bedrooms are in desperate need of modernisation and upgrade

5.0
The staff was nice and understanding, therefore let us make some booking changes without penalties.
It was unbearably hot in all three rooms our group occupied. The thermostats were very old and not functional. Walking outside of the sleeping quarters was suicidal, very slippery and not enough gravel for safe trip to the reception.
Breakfast was very limited, even for difficult Covid times…
No fridge/mini bar/kettle/coffee maker or even a chair in the room.
it’s not really a hotel , it seems more like a summer barrack with just beds in rooms.
All the facilities were closed due to government regulations.
Being a world traveler I have an impression that not many tourists come to Finland. We stayed at a couple Finnish hotels and they all lack basic hospitality features.
