Good place near open market of Joensuu. Not nearest for railway, but well situated for evening going. Sauna is good and so are restaurants. Rooms are either new or from older side little old. if you like to have room that is pig and have much sun ask for older side.

I've stayed here a lot lately and really like this place: very clean rooms with a modern design (if you get a renovated room), extremely beneficial loyalty programme, high standard iron and board and free stable internet. Many restaurants close by and supermarket and other shops within 100 meters. Only drawbacks are bad quality shampoo and soap in the rooms... More

Stayed in this hotel in January 2013 for 2 days in a superior double room. Solid hotel, comfortable room and quite helpful staff. Covered parking, the entrance to the hotel (shared with the shopping center Sokos). On the first floor - two restaurants, Mexican and Italian cuisine (open until 22.00). The hotel itself is located in the city center, on... More

Many shops and restaurants as well as the market square nearby. My room was very standard hotel room: clean and comfortable, modern(ish), not personal but I stayed here for three nights and was satisfied. Staff at front desk was... More

Stayed here on business for 2 nights. Found it an efficiently run hotel as is the case with all Finnish hotels, but a little more luxurious in comparison to the other hotels in Joensuu. I come to Joensuu every three weeks. In addition, it is centrally located, with a shopping center located across the road, a department store on one... More

This was very nice and very clean hotel on a great location. The breakfast was very good and the selection was quite wide. Wifi worked well. They had nice looking sauna and jacuzzi in the basement floor. Some minor things: One small thing was that the hotel is in two attached buildings and for some reason the corridor around the... More

“Four minus” star hotel right in the middle of the city. Review based on a one night stay in June’11 (background of spending 80+ nights per year in different hotels around the globe) Location: Hotel is extremely centrally located, perhaps 500m from the railway station. There’s a supermarket in the same building, mall across the street, main market square 50m... More
