Hotel is located right in front of Tampere Rail Station. Very convenient. Eateries & grocery stores are near by. Hotel staff are very nice. I didn’t use, but there is a sauna too.

Great location very central. Rooms were 3 star at best, but staff very nice and accommodating
Excellent location with friendly helpful staff.
Location is perfect for seeing points of interest at Tampere.
The proximity to the main Railway Station, the new streetcar line and the bus make this an ideal location.
Basic, but still a very nice hotel in the heart of the city. I travelled by train and the hotel is literally across the street! Nice clean room and breakfast was ok (nothing special). Nice and polite service.

The best hotel in tampere city. Clean, comfortable, big rooms. Staff are 10/10. Super friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very nice. Very clean and spacious restaurant
Breakfast was excellent. It was great having a bathtub and balcony.
Wish TV had apps like Youtube, and slippers and bathrobe in the room. Would have been nice to have a better view.
The receptionists were very helpful when I inquired about tourist sites and transport. Moreover, at the time I stayed tea making facility at the lobby was out of order, but I was told that I could get hot water in a cup from a hotel resutaurant.

Good basic quality
Good basic quality. Nothing too fancy, but clean and comfy enough. Good option with friends, would not choose this hotel for romantic getaway though. Big windows towards the station, lots of daylight. Peaceful sleep. Breakfast comprehensive, lots of options to choose from.
Great location across the train station and about 20min walk from the central
Buss station.
Comfortable if a bit dated room and bathroom with no view. Quiet room, comfortable bed. Aircon did not work very well (temp could not be lowered) and windows did not open (safety measure) so it would have been hot if the weather was hotter. Breakfast was good.
We could leave luggage in the locked storage room before the 4pm check in and again the next day after checking out.

Noisy busses
Noise from busses rubbles through the room constantly if on the Main Street side (take ear plugs). Excellent breakfast selection. Room heating didn’t seem to respond to being altered (was warm enough though).

Basic hotel in good location
We arrived 1,5 hours before check-in time and already the parking was full. We found a parking space nearby in an old and very cramped parking hall. If you arrive by train, the hotel is just beside the train station. Also very close to Nokia Arena.
There were long lines and quite a wait at check-in. We were not instructed about the breakfast or anything other really.
The family room was very basic and a bit dated. The room was clean and had a minibar, ironing board and hairdryer.
The breakfast room was quite small for the size of the hotel and many items had finished. The kitchen was obviously struggling to keep up with the demand.
We left the hotel a bit disappointed. Would probably not choose this hotel again since there are better and cheaper hotels in Tampere.
