Original Sokos Hotel Vaakuna

Had a very splendid stay here. The room was very spacious, the sauna and Jacuzzi were very well kept up and nice. I especially enjoyed the various machines in the gym!

When thinking of the Sokos Hotels chain, this hotel is better than average. The hotel's location is very central and there is a spacious parking lot next to it, with reasonable pricing. The staff is really friendly. Hotel room was newly renovated and really cozy. Breakfast quality was good. I did find some cons too: At breakfast some breads (less popular choices?) were dry. There is a plastic mattress cover under the sheets, like in almost every Sokos hotel. They are awful and sweaty, and I always have to take it away and remake the bed. There are two pillows in the bed, a big and small one, but both are equally flat. There is a jacuzzi at the sauna area, which sounds wonderful. The reality is that the jacuzzi is really loud and it ruins the whole sauna relaxation. Also the iWall area is really noisy, it seems there might be a HVAC room or something closeby. All in all, I hate that children's /youth areas are often shoved to some distant and dark corner of the hotel. This wasn't much better, and it's hard to think that an adult would enjoy spending time there.

Good hotel near the centre. Nice and quiet rooms, very clean and nicely decorated rooms and premises. Breakfast is nice with fresh vegetables and breads and plenty of options to choose from. The location is near a big road, but there is no noise from the road to the rooms. There should be a nice sauna and gym, but I didn't have time for a visit. My friends said the sauna is good.

Nice hotel from a commonly known chain (Sokos) and thus as good as most of their other offerings. Room was spacious enough, nicely styled and equipped with all basic amenities, the bed was comfortable, there's a common sauna and "spa" available for free. However the sound insulation is not ideal, we could hear a dog bark through the wall or floor and the lock on the toilet door was broken.

Breakfast buffet was tasty albeit nothing special, but in the evening the restaurant had a nice selection of dishes and menues, all of which were very tasty. The staff was very friendly and helpful throughout our stay.

Had a wonderful stay & wish I could have stayed longer. Exceeded my expectations. Each member of staff were friendly and helpful - pleasure to deal with.
Loved my room (photo). Breakfast choices covered everything I could wish for. Thank you!

Lovely place to stay. Relaxed and welcoming. Comfortable rooms/beds. Extensive choice for breakfast!

Relaxing and restful place to stay - with amazing breakfasts!

In room, bathroom was nice with Lumene products, and windows opened! Perfect for a warm summer day. Terrace was lovely but menu limited because it's a French restaurant, and prices a little high.

Good place. Clean and renoveted

Everyone here was very accommodating and friendly, the grounds were very well kept, and the sauna was very clean! A wonderful experience, I wish could take this hotel wherever I travel :)
