The hotel is a very short drive from the Railway Station. It was snowing in the 3rd week of January 2012 , and the temperature was around minus 10 degrees C. We tried the large turnstile-type entrance door and found that it was under repairs : a sign showed us the way to Reception using a side door. Check-in formalities... More

Stayed for 2 nights with a large group over weekend. The hotel is very good, nice, modern large rooms with a view over the city (if you are on higher floors). Very comfortable beds. The hotel is attached to a shopping mall, so it was nice to walk from hotel to the shopping centre without your winter overclothes on. Breakfast... More

“I loved this place.”

Reviewed 2 October 2011

For me, never having stayed in a sokos hotel before I was incredibly impressed. The staff were very... More
