Good food and close to the railway 🚃 station 🚉. So, it's easy to Helsinki if your train is around 06:00 am.

Excellent food and service.
Rooms were little loud, one could easily hear the night club until 3 am.

I think this may be the best hotel in Joensuu?
It locates just in front of train station, with nice breakfast, but it may have weak wifi in the room…., also limited time for Sauna is a bit pity

The location of the hotel is just the best. Closest to the train station and the city center is just a walk away. Had an amazing time there and the cleanliness of the rooms made my stay more comfortable. The fact that the toiletries were changed just one night into our stay made it more enticing. I will highly recommend this hotel to anyone planning to travel to Joensuu. The breakfast had different varieties of items too. 🤗🤗🤗🤗

+ good child space where you children can play. The personeel at the breakfast was helpful. Thats all.

It was a biathlon season there. The first part of World Cup. We lived there on the 2 floor with other athletes. It was completely inconvenient. The smell of socks and uniforms. IT WAS not A PROBLEM of the athletes, but the problem of the hotel that it was not fixed en resolved. Our room was not cleaned en prepared good! We had old socks from somebody en the hairy razor in the bathroom. I tried to communicate with the reception. But not has been cleaned, only sock were removed, but not the razor. We stayed there 3 days en 2 night. The room was not completely cleaned, with a baby it was complicated. The spa was not included in the room price. You have to pay.

The location is good, easy to come by train or car, go any where, take a walk or swim. Bed was nice, many pillows, and child lukee his on bed too. The temperature in the room was easy to change. Gym was okey, little, but there can do lot of things. Liked the breakfast too. I would like to come again.

Really friendly arrival and travelling with two cats were taken care of nicely. Were given treats to cats. First time ever! Customer service is really good. Amazing breakfast and the little details in the room were the best. Beautiful hotel!

Nice hotel environment

The location of the hotel is excellent. It is situated between the railway station, the bus station, River Pielisjoki and Park Sirkkalan Puisto. The riverside park is a nice picnic area with tables and benches. There are even fishing possibilities there but notice restriction areas. However, walking distance to the city center and all main attractions is very short. It is also possible to rent Jopo bikes from the hotel. Also electric city scooters are often available in front of the hotel. Our standard room was very nice. We had good beds, an armchair, a big flat-screen television, a self-adjustable air-conditioning system, a ventilation window with an insect net and an empty refrigerator (no minibar). However, the refrigerator was quite loud. Our bathroom was OK but the shower wall was too short. Water came under it and watered the whole bathroom while showering. Breakfast was good. I especially loved local specialties, that is to say Karelian rice pastries and banana-chocolate cake by a local bakery. The breakfast room was so big that there wasn't any congestion there. Park view was very nice. The dinner restaurant of the hotel is good, too. It is also possible to take a drink on the large summer terrace. We didn't test the pampering spa department because there is an admission fee there. Service was very kind in the whole hotel.
