My favorite hotel at Tampere. A good hotel with excellent services and friendly staff. Hotel's own restaurant is worth visiting if you're interested in food from local ingredients. Breakfast is good with a lot of choises and it includes local specialties. Location of the hotel is close to perfect. If you arrive by car you might want to park at... More

Hotel is very clean and well located. The hotel has own carage but some of the parkin spaces are quite cramped. Friendly reception service. They offered upgrade from standard to superior for only 20 €, well worth the extra money. Our upgraded room was in 16th floor, clean and roomy looking room, almost too soft beds and excellent views. Didn't... More

This hotel has the best location, the best staff, the greatest breakfast, and really nice rooms. At least that has been my experience from all the times I have stayed there. I always try to stay when I come to Tampere, and to be honest the price can be a little high at times but it is worth it. Other... More

Decent hotel. Very clean. The breakfast was great, lots of choice. Continental and even a few English breakfast type options. We had a great view of river below. Great location, in centre. Most importantly... We were near pizza tax!

Tampere is a great village and this hotel is very well situated, just of the main road. Public parking garage with a section for the hotel closeby. Rooms are clean with complimentary coffee. No shampoo etc. The gym is good, no tredmill. The pool and saunas are sufficient. Great location to walk into town.

All the staff at the hotel were friendly and helpful. The room was well equipped with a well stocked mini bar and iron/ironing board. Decor was fresh and felt fairly new, although the room was generally very clean I was surprised to find a good layer of dust on a number of surfaces and fittings. The room had good views,... More

First the positives: the personnel at the hotel is very friendly throughout, from reception to any restaurant. Hotel has a prime location, and very good underground parking facility and is very easy to approach with a car especially from south. You can have a very nice view from the rooms facing west. Some pieces of criticism: the hotel is relatively... More

We stayed here for one night, got excellent (maybe even perfect) service. Room was of good size, plenty of room, good TV and a nice view. Only problem is the small breakfast area. Small? TINY! Otherwise we like staying here. Location is unbeatable, shopping centre, restaurants, bars and a night club all in the same building.
