Hotel Cikada

Our experience was extremely disappointing and fell far below acceptable standards. I have traveled extensively and stayed in hotels across dozens of countries — and I have never encountered such a traumatizing experience as we did at Hotel Cikada. The room had a strong unpleasant smell and felt unclean upon arrival. There was no air conditioning, despite the hot July weather, and the towel dryer in the bathroom emitted constant heat, worsening the room temperature. The main window could not be opened, there was only a tiny ventilation holewindow that was insufficient for air circulation. There was no fridge in the room. The bathroom towels smelled strongly( of dirty feet ) and appeared unwashed. We had to use our own emergency towels. Breakfast & Hygiene Concerns; The food smelled old, and mould was found on the bread. No utensils were provided for serving bread, leading to guests handling it directly. The towels covering the bread were visibly dirty and smelled mouldy. The staff member attending the breakfast area was repeatedly coughing near the food. In summary, the hotel has no hygiene standards.

The only redeeming features of this hotel are its location and the surprisingly pleasant swimming pool. Everything else? A slow descent into hospitality hell. We were given a room in the attic, which I can only assume is where they send guests they really don’t like. It was an oven. No AC, barely any ventilation, and a tiny window that opened just enough to let in a single fly, who promptly died from the heat. The air was so stale I considered learning photosynthesis just to survive the nights. I ended up sleeping with the room door open like I was camping in a badly ventilated sauna. As if that wasn’t enough, breakfast came with a complimentary side of moldy bread. The dining tables hadn’t seen a clean cloth in what I assume was decades. Hygienic standards? More like a social experiment. And the towels—dear god, the towels. They smelled like they’d dried on a goat farm during monsoon season. I wouldn’t wipe a spilled drink with them, let alone my body. If you’re looking for a centrally located place with a pool and enjoy breathing through a straw, this place might be for you. Otherwise, run. (See the attached photos for proof I wasn’t hallucinating from the heat.)

The hotel itself is ok, but the breakfast is terrible. It's made with no passion to food, like school or prison eatign room. Cold bread, cold eggs and things are just planted to pick up. Aweful breakfast all-in-all. If you dont mind 20 other people at the same table, go ahead.

A private owned (?) hotel in the centre of Mariehamn, close to the Viking boat Ferry terminal. The hotel was a bit worn out but still clean and pretty fresh. It felt more like a boarding house / hostel, than a hotel. It did not really matter, we only stayed one night. The bathroom was an extra plus, really really clean and fresg and felt newly renovated. This is most important to us; a fresh bathroom and clean beds

Minimal, but clean and comfortable. Bathroom is small. Very convenient to ferry terminal. Inexpensive. Breakfast was disappointing. It’s in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood, and everything in Mariehamn is nearby.

Nice, little place nearby to everything. Rooms are ok for a short stay. Breakfast is very basic. And during peak time between 8-9 the place is busy Parking is very limited to only around 10 places Swimmingpool outside is a nice plus.pool is suitable gor children Friendly and helpful staff
