Been here in Feb 2013 and got an room in old wing with Barbie-size bathroom and with old furniture in it. View from the window was to a parking lot and air conditioning station with a noise from it. Breakfast was poor with bad coffee.

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

Very centrally located, easy access to city, everything (including university) withing walking distance as you'd suspect in such a small town. 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

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

We stayed in Sokos Hotel Vaakuna last august. Actually we spent our wedding night there. We got penthouse room with private sauna and samll balcony. Room was the best. Very silent, clean and the bed was more than comfortable. The next morning was the best part, the breakfast. Dining room was spacious and there was lot of different foods to... More

Very good location, just nest to market squarem shoping streets nad restaurants. The hotel itself is standard, nothing special. So there is nothing wrong with it.
