“Good room and service. But where is the minibar?”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 October 2011

I stayed this hotel in early October. Had room with sauna in the upper floor and found the room fairly good. For the price of 140 euros I still would have expected to have a some kind of service in the room; water or something. I had to go to the reception to buy a bottle of water.
Arrived late so I phoned "from the road" to get something to eat (kitchen is closed from 10 pm), and they arranged me a salad, which was large and tasty.
Breakfast was typical for Scandic and I was pleased with it.
Service was friendly all the way, so I found this hotel quite good overall.

Room Tip: A superior room with sauna is good with space more than enough.

“Middle of the road”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 October 2011

I'm a member of Scandic's frequent Guest Program, and any time there's Scandic available, I'll use it. That's why I booked this hotel.

This Pori Scandic is slightly below the average, what comes to Scandic hotels. Nothing too bad to say but nothing praiseworthy either.

Pori is very small and I have to say unpleasant town at least in winter, this might have some effect on my feeling about this hotel... I guess in summer things might be different, although I've heard that rooms are very hot in summer. Hotel was also quite worn, and a little bit away from center in a quite bad-looking area. Room was very basic, a little bit dated, and food was not as good as in f.ex. Jyvaskyla Scandic.

There's not much choices in Pori, but if I have to go there again, I'll try to find some other place.

“Decent hotel in good location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 August 2011

We stayed one night with other couple. Selected because was available and located in center. Hotel is not oldish, but clean and good location. Value for price is good. Friendly staff and good breakfast.

“Worn and hot”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 July 2011

The hotel is an ugly concrete building and the interiors are worn. The choice of tv channels is very limited, only few (if any) foreign channels. The restaurant was seriously understaffed - it took over an hour to get the meal after ordering. The room was simple and spiritless, though clean. Breakfast buffet was ok. The free parking space for customers in the inner courtyard was very limited. And the worst thing: The room was really hot! Sure, it was almost 30 degrees outside, but I think it was at least the same in the room! In the morning, when it was only 20 degrees outside, it was still unbelievably hot inside even though a small window (the only one you was able to open a bit) was open the whole night (so you heard when the local pubs closed their doors...).

I don't say this hotel is miserable, but it's not fascinating by any measure either. An ordinary, a bit worn chain hotel. The staff was friendly and I don't know if you have any better options here in the city center... But if I go to Pori again, I'll give a try to something else...

“Ok”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 May 2011

We stayed one night at this hotel, we chose it mainly because everything else was sold out and it was the cheapest option of all the hotel rooms that were still available.

The room was really small and hot. Even if it was raining outside the room was very hot. We only stayed one night, so it was still ok.

They were refurbishing the hotel at the time, which wasn't disturbing us at all, because we stayed there at the weekend. The refurbishing is really needed! Because the hotel looked old and tired. I remember the other Scandics i stayed at were much nicer, and therefore we were quite surpised when we arrived.

I can't say anything about the breakfast because they start serving it at 8am on Sundays and we had to leave before that. We had no option to get an earlier breakfast even if we asked for it.

We also had our dog with us, and he could stay in the room for an extra fee of 10 euros, which i think is ok, since the other hotel we were looking at had 25 euro fee for pets.

The stay was ok, but not nice. It's an ok place to stay at if you are just looking for a place to sleep.
