Pros:

Olin muuten tyytyväinen gluteenittomaan aamiaiseen, mutta puuro olisi ihan kiva lisä aamiaiseen. Ja sijainti oli ihan mainio.

Pros:

Huone oli siisti ja henkilökunta ystävällinen
Aamupala ok

Cons:

Sängyt ja tyynyt erittäin huonot.
Ilmastointi äänekäs ja takapihan kuorma-auto liikenne häiritsevää ennen klo 7 aamulla

Hyvä hotelli Joensuun keskustassa torin varrella
Pros:

Hyvä sijainti kaupungin keskustassa. Loistava aamupala. Siisti ja toimiva huone. Mukava henkilökunta.

Cons:

Kolmen moottoripyörän pysäköinti maksoi kolmen auton hinnan, vaikka se vei vain yhden autopaikan, mikä ei tuntunut oikein reilulta.

Pros:

Meine Bewertung bezieht sich auf das Zimmer nach dem Upgrade. Das war dann sehr gut.

Cons:

Was ist das für ein Kuddelmuddel in dem Gebäude. Die zwischen Restaurants und Supermarkt gequetschte Rezeption war kaum zu finden. Der lieblose , zusammengewürfelte Frühstücksraum verschlägt einem den Appetit.

Tulen uudestaan.
Pros:

Paras mahdollinen sijainti ja kaikki tarpeellinen saman katon alla tai lähellä. Erinomainen aamupala.

Cons:

Huoneen vedenkeitin ei toiminut. WC:n roskis ei toiminut (avausmekanismi rikki). TV hieman hidas ja vanhahko.
Oli myös pettymys että poreamme ei ollut käytettävissä, mutta sain onneksi neuvoteltua siitä pienen hyvityksen.
