Pleasant stay for one night in Joensuu. The staff was very friendly (as you'd expect in Northern Carelia overall) and the hotel was clean and overall very pleasant. The room was spatious and quiet and we enjoyed the breakfast, especially the local carelian pastries.

Affärsresa en natt

Hotellet är trevligt, men inte i relation till priset..Parkering i phus tvärs över gatan. Ingen möjlighet att ta sig direkt in i hotellet. Frukost bra, restaurangen trevlig, frukostmatsalen stor och opersonlig.. Rummet ok. Lite slitet liksom badrummet, hopplös dusch där vatten kommer över hela golvet! Trevlig o hjälpsam personal. Sen utcheckning kostar extra..
