From hearty Italian dishes sprinkled with fresh herbs to hot off-the-grill plates inspired by the American South, the food and drink you’ll get at Hotel Haven’s two restaurants and bar are anything but the expected and far more than the ordinary.
Fiasco by Ultima - Dine on delectable Italian cuisine boasting local ingredients as a base finished off with, as the Chef says, “a pinch of madness and plenty of heart.”
Sue Ellen - With a name straight out of the American South, it’s no surprise Sue Ellen serves up dishes inspired by that famed geographical region. Charcoal grills and authentic smokers conjure unforgettable flavors in a relaxed seaside atmosphere.
Bar Haven - Sit by a crackling fire and savor an array of eclectic spirits including rum, cognac, and whiskey – and when hunger strikes, order a bite from the ample bar menu.

Hotel Haven was located on a exellent location near docs, just about 10 minute walk from main railway station. Hotel is not the prettiest from outside, but it doesn't matter. Inside hotel is very beautiful and clean, service at the check in desk was friendly and welcoming We got upgraded room, which was very nice. The suite was very big, beautiful, clean and the bed was huge. The products inside room were luxorious like shampoo. Breakfast was good and high quality, not the largest of selection but it didn't matter at all. Overall, one of the best hotels we have stayed. Keep the quality high, thank you.

Sweaty Hotel is just passable

Passable hotel in a good location. They turn off the AC at night so it is like sleeping in soup. Commented at the desk and the clerk said, “Welcome to Finland Summer!” I expect more for the price.
