A good hotel with everything needed. Quiet and comfortable room. The nearby mall wonderful and offered everything needed. The location near Kuopio centre and Puijonlaakso a classic suburb with its own beauty.

The lift door was left open one or two times on other floor so couldn't get the lift to our floor without going to another floor to close the door. This should be fixed because with baby pushchair or wheelchair you cannot use the stairs.

After reading some of the reviews, our expectations were not high, but we found the hotel to be very much better than we had expected. It is located a little away from the centre in a quiet and largely residential neighbourhood. The hotel appears to have been built in the 1970s, when Finland was approaching the peak of its prosperity, and if you can look past the now somewhat worn furnishings in the restaurant and public areas, you will get a good idea of what a smart modern hotel looked like then. It seems to accommodate some relatively long-term guests and had a pleasant, unfussy atmosphere. Our room had evidently been refurbished and was clean and comfortable. By Finnish standards this hotel offers very good value for money and we'd be happy to stay there again.

The lift (1975 vintage I think) really does need refurbishing as it was the only really scruffy thing we noticed in the hotel.

Good hotel, with its age becoming noticeable. Located 20-25 minutes from the city centre on foot, and conveniently served by buses that stop very close by. Breakfast includes eggs, sausages, bacon, cheese, some vegetables, coffee and juices, karelian pies (recommended), fruit, some sweets, etc. The reception is closed in the evening and until the morning. It has a strange charm (it looks like a Kaurismaki film set). The temperature in the room may be a bit low for those coming from warm climates, and during autumn, but this is common in Finland.

Breakfast was not that versatile at first glance, but finally I had on my plate everything I usually have. Coffee was excellent. The room had an extra electric heater and an additional door and therefore the stay was warm with no disturbing noise. It is better to be in the hotel before 22.00, since after that time you have to pay extra 80 euros for security if your keycard is not working. The card is of old style and if it is kept near your cellular phone, all the information of the card may be lost. This was warned very clearly. The walls of the room were covered with birch and furniture was also made of birch, giving a nice atmosphere. Two supermarkets, a pizzeria and parking space were within 100 meters.

Obviously they could renew the keycards.

Location is ok for the travelers with the car. Few minutes drive to the center of Kuopio. Hotel quite dated, but clean and maintained. There was a kettle with the tea in the common area in the corridor, so a plus for the ones needing a hot drink late in the evening. The breakfast was ok, not outstanding but definitely worth money for the value. Parking lot next to the hotel also ok.

The wifi (the one secured with the password) was very weak in our room. However the free wifi on the ground floor in common (breakfast) area was very fast. The the heating batteries (radiators) were very noisy. The circulation of heating water could have been heard all the night.

The property was clean, the receptionist, who doubled as the breakfast staff, was friendly and had a great sense of humour.

Probably not usually a big deal in Finland, but it was quite a warm night and there was no cooling or fan available in the room.

Kids had 2 layer beds like in ship, they loved them. For parents single beds. Free parking, very clear instructions how to get keys and find a room. Close market, pizzeria. Close to Puijo tower and skiiing area. Breakfast was small but elvery enought to have meal.

For parents single beds.

The place is great if you need to stay next to the university or hospital. The place is rather calm, basic facilities available, the grocery shops are just a minute away.

The place is rather remote otherwise, so if you're not prepared to walk to the city, choose a more central location. Also, it is on a rather steep uphill from all directions.

A bit far out but not a problem with a car.

Unfortunately it was very hot when we visited. With no air conditioning and an inadequate fan it was an uncomfortable evening. If not for that, we would have enjoyed the hotel much more.
