“Nice hotel, beautiful location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 September 2011

Scandic hotels in small towns, such as Kuopio, are usually located a little bit outside of the center but still not too far to go there on foot. In most cases there aren't any Night Clubs or loud Bars either. It's very pleasant for them who need to wake up early and want to sleep well. That's the main reason I'm a Scandic Hotels' frequent quest programme member.

Kuopio Scandic didn't cause me any disappointment; dinner was quite nice, so was the breakfast, room was big and has a gorgeous view over the lake. Comfortable bed and soft pillow, what else would You need? Only flaw, though insignificant in my case, might be the furnishings, they look a little bit old and worn. Anyway the Hotel is well worth of visiting especially for business purposes.

Room Tip: Ask a room with balcony for a nice view over the lake

“Large and comfortable rooms, only the outside needs a little refresh”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 September 2011

The hotel is located just next to a lake, little bit outside of the town center but still within a walking distance from everything worth seeing. The room was quite large and well equipped, beds were very comfortable. Free wireless internet and car park was also available.
Breakfast quality was OK, there was a lot to choose from and everybody could find something they like. Staff was friendly and helpful.
The only thing which could be refreshed is the exterior which seems a little bit old and not that clean.

Room Tip: The rooms with a "city view" can be quite hot in the summer. Book a "lake view"...

“Best Scandic Hotel I have seen”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 September 2011

Having stayed in a few Scandic Hotels recently, this is definitely the best.

I only stayed one night so did not get chance to see the facilities, only the room, reception and breakfast.

The room has a balcony with a great view over the lake. The furnishings and whole room was very clean, very tidy and well presented. Wireless internet was fairly decent speed too.

Reception and check in were faultless. The breakfast was also plentiful and to a high standard.

I can't write more as it was purely a quick stop. However, I could not of asked for more.

Very nice hotel.

“Scandic Hotel is very nice & Service is great!”

I have spent several week-long trips at the Kuopio Scandic Hotel....I was always upgraded and had a room overlooking Lake Khallavesi.....really beautiful. Beds were comfortable and rooms large and quiet. Shower is great, nice & strong! I only wish that they had some rooms with a sauna! They did have saunas in the hotel, but they were scheduled....swimming pool is nice.

“lovely hotel”

This was a great hotel. We had a beautiful lakefront view, the breakfast was great, lots of different things to try, the staff were very helpful, free internet access, beautiful town, lovely walks, a wonderful restaurant directly opposite. Not cheap but well worth it. The only quibble would be that the pool/sauna area is only open for a couple of hours a day, seems a shame to have it sitting there all day with noone using it. I realise they might not want to heat the sauna all day but it would be nice to be able to have a dip in the pool during the day.
