Great location. Wonderful views over the city from my window on 17th floor. Big nice clean room with a very good bed and some extra points for super comfortable pillows. Great breakfast with some local specialities. I will definitely be back here again

Would go back anytime! Very friendly service, clean and nicely decorated small rooms. Very good breakfast! Location is perfect, right in the middle of Tampere. And if your room is on the right side of the hotel, you can see the rapids from your window.

The rates are very high given the rooms are small and a 3 star level. The location is excellent. The views (any sides) are spectacular. Rooms are quiet. The beds are uncomfortable. For those rates they should have better mattresses. I stayed there in October 212 and March 2013 for more than 8 days each time. I was not happy... More

A hotel in the center of Tampere. 5 minutes walk from the rail station. The hotel is very nice and clean. The stuff is friendly. Rooms are actually not very big, but they contain every common facility. It was a little strange though, that there were no hygienic agents like toothpaste of shampoo, and to get them one would have... More

This hotel might not look so pretty from the outside but the interior is really nice. Hotel was clean, fresh and spacious. People at the front desk were nice and helpful, check in and check out were fast. The size of our standard room was ok, room was clean, bathroom was nice and the room seemed quite recently renovated.

The situation is very central and near good restaurants and bars. Not a big room, but more than correct for the price. Very clean. The only problem is a very noisy air condition in the room that cannot be shunted down (even if the window is open).

Perfect location for a city break. We saw a concert at Ratina Stadium, a few minutes walk from the hotel. Lots of restaurants, shops etc near-by too. The breakfast was ok, with no surprises. I've had better ones. The view from the upper floors is great. Our room on the 8th floor was very quiet.

Dear Kihaan, thank you for your recent stay with us! Thank you for your feedback about the breakfast. We work very hard to provide a wide selection of breakfast items to meet our guests expectations. I'm sorry we were not able to meet your criteria this time. Next time you come to Tampere, perhaps try the new Solo by Sokos... More

My favorite hotel at Tampere. A good hotel with excellent services and friendly staff. Hotel's own restaurant is worth visiting if you're interested in food from local ingredients. Breakfast is good with a lot of choises and it includes local specialties. Location of the hotel is close to perfect. If you arrive by car you might want to park at... More

Hotel is very clean and well located. The hotel has own carage but some of the parkin spaces are quite cramped. Friendly reception service. They offered upgrade from standard to superior for only 20 €, well worth the extra money. Our upgraded room was in 16th floor, clean and roomy looking room, almost too soft beds and excellent views.
