Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is located in a great spot, just a short walk from the railway station and the marketplace. The rooms are spacious and clean, meeting the Sokos Hotel quality standard. The staff was welcoming and friendly, but I did notice some unprofessional behavior among them. The dining options were a bit limited, which was a downside. Overall, it’s a solid choice for a quick stay, but the lack of coffee/tea making facilities in the room was a bit inconvenient.
The hotel had a great location, making it easy to walk to the railway station and the marketplace. The room was tidy and fresh every time I returned, which I appreciated. However, it wasn't luxurious, and the noise from neighbors was a bit of a downside. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, which added to the experience.
I recently stayed at this hotel and found it to be in a great location, just a short walk from the market and the beautiful Kallavesi lake. The rooms were clean and comfortable, though a bit dated, and the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. However, the dining options left something to be desired, particularly at breakfast. Overall, it was a decent experience for the price, but the rooms could use some upgrades.
I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The location is fantastic, close to both the railway station and the marketplace, making it easy to explore the area. The rooms were clean but rather basic and quite bright at night, which made it a bit hard to relax. The service was friendly, but there were moments when the staff seemed unprofessional. Overall, it's a decent option with good value for money, but there's room for improvement.
I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, which boasts a great location just a few minutes away from the market and the lovely lake Kallavesi. The rooms were clean, although I did notice a bit of noise during the summer. The service was a mixed bag; some staff were charming and helpful, while others didn’t seem as engaged. The dining area was busy in the mornings, but I found the breakfast to be quite good overall. All in all, it’s a solid choice with good value for money, but there’s room for improvement in service consistency.
