Hotels in Tampere

The room is clean but plain: white textiles and light wood might give off a clinical vibe. So many power outlets, I counted eight and then two more in the bathroom! Service is lovely though, nice receptionists and I overheard how the receptionist asked a couple their breakfast wishes for the next morning, since they were to be the only customers! Basic breakfast, but served its purpose. Glutenfree options were well available when requested. The hotel room itself is quiet, but not fully dark: dim lights behind the ceiling panels stayed on the whole night above the door. They didn't bother my sleep though, perhaps prevented claustrophobic feels since there wasn't a window :)

The Lapland Hotel is a relatively stylish Nordic hotel. A lot of work has been done on the details. The hotel's restaurant is very nice and the waiters are enthusiastic and professional. Salmon and steak are all available online. By the way, the cream of mushroom soup and French fries are outstanding. Comparatively After visiting so many restaurants in Finland, it left a special impression on me

I arrived at the hotel at 1 pm, and was welcomed by a friendly receptionist who assigned me a room right away and explained the breakfast as well as the sauna department hours. Check-in was quick and easy. The room was small and dated. A definite no-frills hotel room with basically no amenities. There were two 90 cm wide beds, comfortable enough, a small desk as well as an armchair but no coffee table – there was no room for one. There was a folded luggage rack leaning against the wall, which is nice, in theory, but there was no room to actually open it up anywhere inside the cramped room. Overlapping curtains kept the room dark, and there was a sparingly stocked minibar. There were sockets by the bed and desk, so charging your devices was easy. Wifi did not require a password. It was free, fast and reliable. There were no water bottles (tap water is potable), no safe, no air conditioning (the room was incredibly hot during the mid-August heatwave, definitely uncomfortable; opening the window didn’t help much). The cramped bathroom came with a handheld shower. No bathtub. I would have wished for better water pressure. Toiletries consisted of wall-mounted containers of soap, shampoo, and, in theory, shower gel, although my container was empty on arrival and was not filled during my stay. The containers were not tamper-proof and after reading so much about how people amuse themselves filling those containers with whatever stuff, I would hope Scandic would choose to save money somewhere else instead and use hygienic minibottles. I consider Scandic a no-frills budget chain and understand their desire to charge separately for mostly everything, but reading all their signs did make me smile a bit. Borrow a bathrobe for 5 EUR. Late check-out fee 10 EUR/hour… Breakfast was served in the restaurant on the ground floor (6–10 weekdays, 6:30–10:30 Saturdays, 7:30–11 Sundays). It is always included in the room rate. It was a bit above your usual Finnish hotel breakfast buffet with scrambled eggs and a few hot items, good breads (but few cheeses and cold cuts), water melon slices, good smoothies. I liked the mini-sized Karelian pasties with egg butter as well as the berry pie. The restaurant was also open for dinner daily, which was nice as most restaurants in town are closed on Sundays. There is a sauna department and a 4x12 m swimming pool in the basement, open 7–10 am & 4–10 pm. No pool towels, bring one from the room. The pool is nice, albeit a bit cool. There is a separate splash pool for kids, too. A complete renovation is long overdue, but take it as time travel to Finland in the 1980s. The hotel enjoys the best location in town, right next to the main street Hämeenkatu, a minute away from shopping, restaurants and nightlife. There is a tram stop right around the corner. I can’t think of any hotel in Tampere that would have a more central location. Therefore, it is sad to see how neglected the hotel is. It’s 40 years old, and it shows. Some cheap

There is a Scandic on each side of the train station, which is easy to go wrong. The department store Stock*** is on the side of the City, and the other side is the Station. The breakfast is the same every day. You can consider bringing some instant noodles.

Extremely positive customer service at the front desk. Arriving late was no problem, had a very good pizza at the hotel restaurant, even though almost at closing time. Breakfast was nice, fresh and enjoyable. Everything was just perfect for the money spent.

This hotel is a self-catering serviced apartment and can only enter the apartment within the specified time via the code received via email. It can be said that it is all self-service... We arrived too early, so we were ”turned out”... We took the initiative to ask for help from the café nearby. The staff were very nice and willing to help us keep our luggage temporarily! When I arrived at the check-in time at 16:00, I did not receive the password, so I could only ask for help from Ctrip. Finally, Ctrip gave me the password. I was really drunk... I need to go through 3 password doors to enter the room, so I feel very safe. There is a way to enter the bank vault. a feeling of. When I entered the room, I felt very warm. It was the first time I saw such a welcome ceremony. It was very special! The room is also very large. The sofa can be pulled out to become a double bed. In principle, it should be able to accommodate 4 people. There is also a microwave, kettle and refrigerator in the room. The location of the hotel is still very good, about 400-500 meters away from the bus station, and the main pedestrian street is the main pedestrian street with many shops and restaurants.

Scandic Hämeenpuisto was ok for a one night stay in Tampere. It is located little on the side, but the centre on reachable by foot. The hotel was fully booked, so check in took long time, but otherwise everything was taken care fine. The hotel is very peaceful during the night and the rooms were clean. I would change the soaps to Finnish brands though, as we are in Finland. The breakfast was excellent, and I truly can recommend that. It would be a good idea to market a weekend stay (Fri-Sun) at the hotel for affordable price; it would bring more people on the average weekends to the hotels. Usually the stay in the hotel is quite short considering the price of a room, which feels too high for one night (150€).

Come to the hotel for a business trip, the location is very good, the city center, very close to the restaurant bar, walking distance, walking nearby can go to the shopping center, etc., very convenient. The room facilities are very complete, there is a sauna gym, but the room size is not large. Breakfast is OK, the level of the ordinary buffet breakfast.

Beautiful scenery, there are two saunas, one smoke sauna and one private sauna. Very close to the Tampere Sightseeing Tower, the doughnuts of the Sightseeing Tower are delicious!

Stayed here with family in July 2022 for one night. Had a familyroom allowing also our dog, room 178. Room was spacious (two bedroom apartment), own patio, big bathroom and sauna. Patio is old and not taken care of but otherwise the room was OK. Tidy and good for a family with a dog since you could access the yard and go for a walk with the dog through the patio. The spa and pools were crowded and did rally not offer anything special. One big pool and some hot tubes. As regards the breakfast - cannot recommend it at all: coffe the cheapest brand tasting bad, no fresh frukt except of whole apples and som kiwifruits that you need to peel yourself. Bread taken from the freezer, due to which some of it was dry. Pancakes industrially made etc. All in all I would rate this experience with one star only since the breakfast included nothing extra but felt more like a mass feeding. This continues to surprise me since the hotels - generally - could with quite a small effort make the breakfast experince so much nicer for their guests. Why not offer special coffe, clean tables, nicely set food, and that something special for the guests? Also the breakfast was quite messy at 9.30 in the morning.
