“Basic but adequate rooms, great staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 January 2012

Generally inhabitants in this part of Finland are considered to be rather reserved and slightly cold. So not true when it comes to the personnel in this hotel. Such excellent service particularly in the reception is rare even in 5 star hotels. Rooms are basic, but functional. Free wifi is a bonus. Breakfast was surprisingly nice. The location of the hotel is excellent, next to the main market square.

“Pleasant hotel in central area”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 October 2011

We stayed here for one night, and found the staff very pleasant and helpful. Room was comfortable and, although we overlooked the market square, there was no noise overnight. There were no English language TV stations available.

Restaurant looked unwelcoming, so we ate elsewhere. Breakfast was fine.

“Quietly Competent”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 August 2011

A typical city-centre hotel that does everything competently but littleoutstanding. The rooms were comfortable, and the (single) beds gave a good night's sleep. Although my room faced over the car park, I had no criticism for the noise that another reviewer has made. The separate shower room and shower was superb though; not the usual trickle of water to contend with. The bar was OK, and the outside terrace overlooking the market square provided the evening entertainment, even when the rain came down. Peculiarities? You need swipe card access to access the corridors for the rooms (both access and exit), and watch for the bedroom doors - they open out into the corridor! A particular comment for the staff though; they were superb - but then that's what I've come to expect of the Finns!

“Nice Hotel experience during the The Venetian Night celebration”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 July 2011

Nice hotel and perfect location.
After the Venetian Night breakfast room was too crowded. There should have been more people cleaning tables and filling the breakfast buffet.
One day later the breakfast room was big enough for the remaining visitors.
One bed was OK but the other one had a broken mattress.

“Ok hotel, but noisy”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 March 2011

Quite nice hotel but hard to sleep well. I woke up at 5.30 am to an alarm clock in some other guests room and since that there were lots of people slamming doors and staff chatting just outside the room in very early morning. With ear plugs I could have managed, though. A restaurant downstairs (Amarillo) has menu of finnish-mexican meals. If you like that kind of stuff, then no problem.
