My stay at the Scandic Joensuu was quite enjoyable. The hotel's central location is very close to train station and the University. The room was clean and comfortable, providing a peaceful night's sleep. The breakfast buffet was a highlight, offering a wide variety of delicious options. The staff were friendly and helpful, making me feel welcome throughout my stay. While the room size was a bit on the smaller side, it didn't detract significantly from the overall experience. Overall, I would recommend the Scandic Joensuu for a pleasant stay in Joensuu

- The location was great and very close to shops and restaurants. Everything was within walking distance. - The staff were nice and helpful - They located the room in a quiet area (far from street noises) and gave extra pillows as I asked earlier. - The breakfast buffet was also great, varied choices to make. - The hotel offered bicycles for free to explore the city.

- The room was a bit smaller. - They promised to put the twin beds together, instead of giving a king-size bed as asked earlier, but they did not do it. We had to do it ourselves putting those beds.

A great location, everything was easy and the staff very accommodating with our request to extend the stay by one night. The rooms were clean and comfortable.

Some improvements would really elevate the stay. For example, the pillows are small and there aren't any extra ones in the room like in many other hotels. The breakfast room is so dated and in desperate need of renovations. I believe it used to be a pizza place in the 80s/90s and still looks exactly the same! I would also love to have more fish/seafood in the breakfast buffet, as the region is known for its freshwater fish. The coffee station in the reception was out of order for our whole stay, meaning we had to walk to the nearby R-kiosk to get a coffee outside the breakfast times!

Rooms are nice, Clean and with good space, The breakfast it's very diverse and offer variety , the amenities are on point. the establishment is clean in general, and the sauna it's quite impressive

Would be nice to have laundry available for long stay-visits

My 16-year-old son stayed at this hotel in August. I would like to thank the hotel staff for their attentive attitude to the organization of the trip, as well as to the child during their stay at the hotel. I can only give excellent characteristics to all the components of life in a hotel: a great room, a comfortable bed, a spacious bathroom, cleanliness, delicious breakfasts and friendly staff. We will choose your hotel for the next trip. Thank you very much!

Very good location in the centre of Joensuu, friendly staff and good buffet breakfast

Interior of the room was a bit old fashioned and everything in general wasn’t very modern

Excellent location Parking available Very good breakfast

Dodgy route to the sauna through parking garage etc..not very nice. Restaurant a bit..retro? Slightly odd decor.

Located in the centre of Joensuu with easy access to shops and restaurants. The hotel features a really nice sauna which is free for guests to use in the evening. Breakfast was good with lots of selection including vegan / gluten intolerant options. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Hotel entrance is tucked away so keep your eyes peeled when looking for it!

The breakfast was excellent, the location was within a 15 minute’s walk from the station. The staff we dealt with were very polite and professional and helpful. The hotel is located on one of the main streets and the walk down to the Marina is very easy, down the main street, to a park and turn right.

Perfect location, the room was clean and modern, breakfast had a lot of variety.

The convertible chair was quite small for a 10 year old’s bed. She fitted, but there was not a lot of room for her. She is small, so for a bigger child I would say a real bed is better.
