We stay at Hotel Alba each time we are in Jyvaskyla -- which is about once a year, and we do so when we are visiting the university. The university is just across the lake. The hotel is on two, very long and straight floors, with about 38 rooms on each side of the corridor. Thus, you have a 50/50... More

This is the ideal hotel if you are visiting the University of Jyväskylä. It is very close to the campus (right behind and over the bridge). The rooms are nice and bright. Half of them have a view on the lake. The breakfast buffet is delicious. The only thing I did not like are the opening hours for the sauna.... More

The hotel is located in a beautiful spot on the lakeside but quite a long walk from the town centre if you want to go there. The restaurant was nice and the breakfast pretty good.

The hotel is approximately a 10 minute walk from the town centre, and a taxi ride from the railroad station costs just under 10 Euros.

The rooms seem... More

Very nice lake view, rooms clean, restaurant offering good menu. The service in the restaurant is very slow, as almost everywhere in Finland, and the room cleaning service is very basic: they would not even make your bed nicely. If you have business at the university, not a bad choice. More

My husband and I have now stayed at the Alba twice and will be staying there again next week. It is a little bit outside of the city centre but very convenient if you are working at the university. If the weather is good, it is a lovely walk along the lake into the city (about 15 min.) Also, the... More

About kilometer away from the city centre. Great scenery to the lake. Small and tidy rooms. Internet was pricey - 8 euros a day! Very, very salty lunches! More

As someone said on trip advisor, the normal rooms are just amazingly awful - tiny cells. We asked for an upgrade to the suites and for very little extra got a large room with nice bathroom and our own sauna. What a difference! It is well placed on water front just by the bridge going over to part of the... More
