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.

nice sauna that was not advertised, good location

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...

Expect the central heating is not turned on, everything is great.

Had wonderful Karelia Pastry for breakfast on our last day. :) Will be great if there are more varieties for breakfast. Overall we had wonderful 2 weeks stay here.

People and pet friendly, close walk to Joensuu tori (open market), restaurants, shopping mall, businesses, arts, river walk/park. Indoor, secure, warm car parking are, and quality breakfast buffet. Economical, excellent quality, and services.

The room is simple and comfortable, the environment is clean, it is located in the city center, the surrounding is quite lively, there is a supermarket which is very convenient, the scenery outside the window is also very good, and the check-out was delayed.

The hotel service is very good, there are several bicycles that can be used for free, there is free coffee and tea in the lobby after ten in the morning, and pets are allowed.

A good basic hotel, nothing to miss, but it didn't offer anything amazing either. Breakfast good, not extensive but included everything needed. Overall a 4/5 experience.

Very good establishment, clean food and good service. I rate this place as a chef, I liked everything when I worked there

Basic, does the job. People were nice! PS. Coffee was quite something 😬

Stunning place, lovely food and facilities

Fantastic place for a gateaway. The hosts are wonderful, highly recommended

Finnish nature adventure. Vast forests ;clear lake baths. Good hospitality. The tour guides speaks multiple languages. Most beautiful sauna with barbecue hut adjacent. We need to come back in winter. Canoes available. My family stayed in the apartment. One bedroom, full kitchen and a living-room with one bed and a sofa plus AC. WC with wash basin. Separate shower and sauna in the apartment. Clean and...

We loved our stay with Minna at her beautiful guesthouse (an old school!). My 2nd time on her guest house ski tour and I enjoyed every minute. go for the lovely xc skiing through finnish forests and fields, and enjoy the tasty local food.

Pihlajapuu was an amazing Place. The Foot was perfekt, the Owner was friendly and helpful, the house was beautyful and the location was intresting. All in all 10 out of 10 woud definitely recommend.

Friendly staff, beautiful place and good food, one of the best guesthouses I've stayed at in Finland :) the bike tour continued with a good mood.

Pihlajapuu Guesthouse is one of the best places to stay during my life. The old school is a charming building and the accommodation is beautiful. There is a gym in the courtyard where children can rave. The food is excellent and vegetarian food is available on request. The staff at the inn are really friendly. There are many hiking opportunities in the surrounding area, including the Raesärkki area...

I have probably visited every single hotel/hostel in Joensuu but Lietsu is the best so far. Nice clean rooms, great service and great people.

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!

It has bed, shower, kitchen, cutlery etc. so all basic needs are covered. However it is best to let host about arrival time, as there is no reception and place can be closed. Also it is probably best to travel with someone when booking this place.

Really nice place where you can stay. Here you can find anything what you need for living. Very clean and cozy place. :))

Nice place to stay over night. You can rent scout stuff from here.

Basic hostel managed by the scouts of Joentsuu.
