Viihtyisä keskusta hotellit
Pros:

Todella hyvä sijainti keskustassa missä kaikki palvelut ihan vieressä. Tilava, puhdas ja viihtyisä huone jossa hyvä varustelutaso.
Erinomainen aamiainen tilavassa, valoisassa tilassa.
Erittäin hiljaista vaikka ihan keskustassa ja viikonloppuyönä.

Cons:

Vastaanoton henkilökunta ihan ystävällistä mutta miksi pitää huutamalla puhua? Kuulostaa aika moukkamaiselta, eivätkä monetkaan halua asioitaan koulutettavan koko odottavalle asiakaskunnalle. Pieni hionta tarpeen!

Ystävällistä palvelua ja tilava huone.
Pros:

Henkilökunta oli iloista ja ystävällistä. Huone oli iso ja viihtyisä. Ravintoloihin pääsi suoraa sisäkautta hotellista.

Cons:

WC.ssä oli epämiellyttävä viemärin haju ja autojen äänet kuuluivat selkeästi sisään . Lauantain ja sunnuntain välisenä yönä oli ilmeisesti autoilla paljon nuorisoa liikkeellä aamuyöhön asti.

Pros:

The location was great — right in the city center, close to the train station, restaurants, supermarkets, museum... The hotel is inside a large building, so you don’t even need to go outside to shop. However, the reception being located in what feels like a shopping center can seem a little strange at first.

The breakfast was exceptional with a great choice and high quality of food.

We also liked that we could use hotel sauna.

Staff at the reception was nice and explained everything.

Cons:

The only downside was that we couldn’t open the windows in the room.
