5 star hotels in North Karelia

Excellent food and service. Rooms were little loud, one could easily hear the night club until 3 am.

Good food and close to the railway 🚃 station 🚉. So, it's easy to Helsinki if your train is around 06:00 am.

Very good hotel, professional service. Only issue is parking.

I think this may be the best hotel in Joensuu? It locates just in front of train station, with nice breakfast, but it may have weak wifi in the room…., also limited time for Sauna is a bit pity

Nice hotel near market square and railway station.

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.

Excellent place to accommodate. Such warm Carelian hospitality from the staff. Clean room, great sauna facilities with jacuzzi and steam sauna.

Got room on what seems to be the old side, so a bit run down. Also had to use extra lift to navigate within the same floor with child cart.

Nice hotel at the centre. Easy parking, lot of restaurants and good shopping facilities.

We stayed here while in Joensuu for the Biathlon World Cup in nearby Kontiolahti. On some of the other reviews, there were comments about the lack of character. Yes, it does lack this, but be honest - this is not what you are visiting Joensuu! NEGATIVES - the are only two negatives. The first was that the bathroom was VERY small and in need of updating. Yes, I am from the States but I visit Europe...

Very nice hotel in a center of city. Friendly service. Nice restaurants and grocery in same building, not to mention alcohol store around the corner. Not the newest hotel but quite well kept. No complaints. Worked for my holiday needs perfectly.

The staff , Heidi and Saverin, were outstanding. My reservation has not come through, and they worked tirelessly to make sure that it was retrieved and that I had a room on time My entire experience was excellent

Very nice hotel The hotel and room were very nice. Breakfast was great. The only issue was paying for parking because the free lot was full.

Bed needs replacing. Friendly staff but the bed was narrow and sunken in the middle leading to a bad night's sleep. One of the older Scandics.

Good central location, friendly staff and reasonably priced. Did everything I needed

It was very good that the window could be opened so I could let air in.

Recommendable except for the parking Not the most modern venue in Joensuu but clean and well maintained anyway. Location is excellent in downtown. Big disappointment was the hotel parking that was advertised as free. It was free but obviously too small for demand, so it was fully booked every evening. My room was big, especially the bathroom was about the size of a small hotel room. It was an "accessible...

Location good. The hotel is neat but has seen its best days helplessly and would require a thorough renovation. Breakfast is ok, basic. The rooms are clean but not comfortable.

The hotel is stunning! Very clean and cozy. My double room was just amazing. I loved the lights, the comfy bed, the feeling of serenity and happiness. The staff at the reception was very friendly, extremely polite and helpful (Thank you Ida and Sari!) I would definitely recommend Lietsu Boutique for any visitor to Joensuu. It's just my favourite. AMOR

Clean, quiet, well equipped kitchen, washer in the room I selected. Attentive staff, great breakfast, they even made me breakfast the night before an early departure. Walkable from train station, downtown location for shopping and dining. Along river for walks and or cycling excursions. Highly recommended.

Wonderful apartment hotel with a complete functional kitchen and laundry capabilities. The breakfast was wonderful all in a great downtown location. Highly recommended.

Lietsu Boutique Apart Hotel turned out to have everything it promised on the website. Central location in Joensuu, but no traffic noise. Air conditioning in the room ensured us a good night sleep. All essential items were available in the room for cooking, with additional carefully selected items like ground coffee instead of instant coffee, dishwasher washing tablets and laundry liquid for washmachine...

Lovely staff, nice rooms and a great breakfast buffet. They also went the extra mile for our baby, when they added things to the room that made our stay easier. The rooms had great AC and blackout curtains so we could sleep great even though it was a horrendus heat wave going on!

Fantastic service, central location and cozy atmosphere. The Carelian theme is a nice touch and adds to the friendly vibe of the place. For sports enthusiasts it’s useful to note that there’s a high quality commercial gym downstairs in the same building. The opening hours are very good and the range of equipment is broad (free weights, machines, cardio).
