Popular Joensuu 4-star Hotels

Original Sokos Hotel Vaakuna is a cosy quality hotel at the Joensuu market square close to all services. It has 4 restaurants - a cafe - a pub and a night club. Guests have a free sauna - jacuzzi and wireless internet access. Other facilities include a fitness room and a covered terrace. Rooms have a work desk and a private bathroom with shower. Original Sokos Hotel Vaakuna is next to Joensuu City Hall and 250 meters from river Pielisjoki. Various shops are available on the same block as the hotel or in the shopping center directly across the street. Major culture and event venues - as well as sports facilities - are only a short walk away.

The location of the hotel is excellent. It is situated between the railway station, the bus station, River Pielisjoki and Park Sirkkalan Puisto. The riverside park is a nice picnic area with tables and benches. There are even fishing possibilities there but notice restriction areas. However, walking distance to the city center and all main attractions is very short. It is also possible to rent Jopo bikes from the hotel. Also electric city scooters are often available in front of the hotel. Our standard room was very nice. We had good beds, an armchair, a big flat-screen television, a self-adjustable air-conditioning system, a ventilation window with an insect net and an empty refrigerator (no minibar). However, the refrigerator was quite loud. Our bathroom was OK but the shower wall was too short. Water came under it and watered the whole bathroom while showering. Breakfast was good. I especially loved local specialties, that is to say Karelian rice pastries and banana-chocolate cake by a local bakery. The breakfast room was so big that there wasn't any congestion there. Park view was very nice. The dinner restaurant of the hotel is good, too. It is also possible to take a drink on the large summer terrace. We didn't test the pampering spa department because there is an admission fee there. Service was very kind in the whole hotel.

The location of the hotel is very good, out of the train station, crossing the bridge and walking less than fifteen minutes. There is a bus stop at the door, which is convenient for travel. The rooms are large, clean and have a sauna to experience the Finnish lifestyle. Breakfast is good and the hotel also serves lunch and dinner. Shopping malls, supermarkets and restaurants in the central area are very close and convenient.

Großes, gut ausgestattetes Zimmer mit bequemen Betten. Frühstücksbuffet mit karelischen Spezialitäten. Die kann man in aller Ruhe genießen, das Buffet wird nämlich nicht sofort abgeräumt. Besonders am Wochenende weiß das jeder zu schätzen, der mal in einem finnische Hotel um 9.45 Uhr (bei 10 Uhr Frühstücksende) kaum noch was bekam. Gute Lage, zu Fuß sind Bahnhof, Marktplatz und die Sehenswürdigkeiten zu erreichen.
