Where to stay in Kuopio

I stayed there for a business trip and thought it was a good hotel with delicious breakfast that also included lactose free products. The rooms were comfortable and I slept very well. I went there in winter so it was very cold in general. Nevertheless I didn't expect the rooms to be quite cool as well because they are turned down by default. So turn them on in winter after entering for the first time...

No kettle to boil water and make tea, no coffee maker, no mugs, no refrigerator or microwave, no body lotion and hairconditioner, no clue if container in the shower contains body wash or body wash+shampoo - it is more like hostel with private room and bathroom; reception closed (it is where one can get tea or coffee) for the whole two days for some unexplainable reasons

This is a reasonably comfortable hotel in an out-of-the-way location. Parking is limited, and access to the hotel is a little difficult after 8:00 p.m. The breakfast is a typically very, very good Finnish buffet.

Nice, clean rooms, good location, friendly service.

Thanks to Reetta for perfect service.

A bit pricey but otherwise fine.

I was in a studio room, that is not located in the main building. When I showed I wish for cleaning the sign was always blown away by the wind and staff did not see it. They should care about it a little bit more.

Retro, awkward and slightly odd spa hotel Extremely retro/out-dated spa hotel. Was a unique timecapsule experience, but the main building is in desperate need of renovations. Pool facilities are mediocre but was ok for a swim and some splashes with the family for a small amount of time. The family room had a bizzare loft bed hanging from the ceiling with no way to get on to it but jump up - not very...

Nice family resort nicely located and properly maintained.

One night stay in spa Very nice SPA. Rooms clean and comfortable, good breakfast. Very nice experience overall.

Otherwise good but the noise from karaoke could be heard. My room was in the floor above (i don't know how far from karaoke).

Good oldknown place, food would be better

Quiet, yet well located hotel next to a park. We stayed with a pet and our room number 231 was pretty small. Good breakfast with some local specialities like kalakukko (= fish baked inside a loaf of bread). Staff is friendly and easily approachable.

Basic hotel. Rooms are clean and functional. The beds have a plastic feel to them, even after removing the plastic protection sheet underneath the actual sheet. I don't like the tunnel between the two buildings, I rather go outside. The breakfast buffet is a disaster. There isn't enough staff, the staff seems overworked. Food runs out, the tables aren't getting cleared. Hard to find a place to sit...

Located in two different buildings. There is an underground tunnel to walk between buildings which was nice. Breakfast was better than average, scrambled eggs was not wetty supplement as on some places. Location also very good, would recommend when visiting Kuopio. Pillows were not too "round" or mattresses not too soft as were for me on the nearby Scandic few years ago.

Nice stay, comfortable and convenient.

I was missing the home-sandals that they provide in the hotels, but you normally can find in the room (so you can have them in the sauna or when going around indoors) but I couldn't find them anywhere in my room or any of the common areas. So that was a shame. The breakfast was fine. I was missing variety in warm salty food; there was not a toaster and the amount of vegan/gluten free food was scarce...

Sliding door and fancy toilet in rock suite (room 500) didn't work. Otherwise all five stars.

the breakfast was very good respecting the theme Lapland. The staff was friendly and helpful.

A visit to Kuopio is a must do on you list. Then stay at one of the very nice Scandic hotels in town. Have a super romantic dinner at the Musta Lammas, and go to Kauppatori for genuin Finnish food. Nice clean rooms and close to center.

Huge hotel lobby, lovable guest room with free Wi-Fi, nice clean bathroom. Unique and romantic restaurant on 2nd floor, attractive furniture which adds nostalgic flavor while dinning there. Just about right location in the city to get around.

Good breakfast and quiet hotel near central

The high price! Overall the rooms are clean, the restaurant delicious, the staff is helpful!

No AC in rooms, a bit dated but over all good experience. Spa access is included for both check in and check out days. Spa access costs 16e but they have a summer lunch combo for 25 that includes the buffet and spa access.

Remontti olisi ajankohtainen Kaipaa remonttia. Aamiainen aika suppea / aneeminen.

it was a great and very convenient experience for me and my family

Highly recommended Very comfortable stay. Clean beds and room. Nice breakfast. Nice resort.

The room wasn't cleaned properly quite alot of dust and not organized alot of pillow throw on the floor on first arrival in the room.There was no bathrub or inside shoes for kids. Breakfast option not the best. Nice environment area.

Really enjoy our small trip, delicious breakfast, lunch, live music, sauna and spa place, also available gym and other sport activities. Smoke sauna would be nice and also outdoor swimming, we couldn’t make it due to rain. Overall nice place for relaxing 😎

Good hotel, but don’t arrive by car and don’t select the smallest room. The entrance to the recommended underground parking is very hard to find and when you finally get there you no visible signs guide you to the closest entrance of the hotel.

A standard Scandic of the slightly older version. Great location and lots of parking in the underground parking house under the main square. Breakfast is good but slightly under standard for Scandic, but better than most other hotels. Rooms are comfy but cleaning could be better.

Hotel is situated just in the heart of city beside market square. It is very easy to hop in citylife. Everything was clean and tidy in general. Basic breakfast was good but nothing special. Only thing that disappointed us was the fee with Moovy application. Hotel webpage informed lower price than Moovy invoiced afterwards via application. That is not okay. Receptionist should tell this if there is...

Not perhaps even the standard experience of a standard room. The standard room window view is into the inside of a department store. The room ventilator makes such a noise that it had to be turned off. There was no coffee or hot water in the room. The bathroom was strangely big and chilly. The room temperature could not be adjusted. However, the bed was good to sleep in and the breakfast was regular...

Overall everything worked perfectly except customer service on checkout. Room was very nice, clean and very quiet. Accordingly resting was enjoyable. But, there is really something to improve on customer service. On checkout the person was more cold than friendly to me and clearly needs some training with customer service skills. Of course everybody has bad days but that can’t be the reason for poor...

Best location in Kuopio. Very good breakfast. Clean room. Water kettle should be available free of charges in all rooms.Now we had to bring our own. Nice hotel anyway - our home away from home in Kuopio.

It is a good hotel near to lake, beautiful place for walking

Nice hotel by the lake Nice hotel by the beautiful lake Kallavesi, good service and food, clean modern rooms and wonderful scenery by the lake. Good possibilities for jogging

A nice hotel a little outside the city center. Nice room with all you need from coffee and tea and good equipped bathroom. Good breakfast.

Breakfast excellent and celiacs well catered for. Room clean and bed good. The only thing I missed was a kettle in the room.

The hotel has a good location, complete facilities, very good service attitude, rich breakfast and delicious taste!

Aamupalalla ruoka oli kylmää ja muihin vuosiin verrattuna suppea valikoima. Uima altaan vesi viileästä.

Room was large, clean and quiet. TV screen big enough. The mattress was suitable and gave a good sleep! We got the parking (free of charge) in front our room that was opposite and close to the restaurant (short distance to walk). There is lots of parking area at the hotel. Meals (lunch, dinner and breakfast) were good as well as the service. Because the building is from early 70's and not so much...

Comfortable beds. Clean rooms. Friendly staff. Good food. Convenient location. Plenty of free parking.

Positive surprise as a whole. Rooms are clean and roomy. Restaurant was good and the breakfast as well.

Rooms are a little old fashion but clean and spacious with a small verandah, heatig system and one could have a swim in the lake

Really old rooms but the beds are okay.

It's safe to say the place looks rather depressive when you first enter the car park. I chose this hotel purely due to the large car park which is ideal for larger vehicles, such as a van. The room is comfortable enough. It had a TV, kettle, tea / coffee, bathroom, and a mini fridge (which thankfully was on). The breakfast was ok.

Just to set your expectations, this is an old boarding school converted to a hotel. It's that in both good, and bad. The design goes practicality first, which gives you no-frills rooms with dedicated bathrooms and toilets. The rooms themselves are simple, but fine for short term stay for the area. Everything was cleaned properly and we had no gripes in the cleanliness in general. The downside was...

Airchange machine was off, although we asked to switch on it. Poor curtains, no cover for light. Bad quality pillows like in each and every hotel. No shower curtain at all in the bathroom. Quite minimal breakfast. I.e. Only one type of bread. Everything running to end all the time, we need to ask all the time something more. Good location, easy to go by bike everywhere. Budget price. Good isolation...

Standard hotel next to hospital. In My point it lacks bit of usual services. Rooms we quiet, and breakfast was simple and it did the job. Hotel parking is free, and food shops are close distance. Price range is similar in other hotels around Kuopio. Plus from beds and hot shower. Wifi has good radius, but cuts you off line too often. Minus from me because of network issue.

Everything was as promised, clean and functional. The room was a bit cold and the antenna cable or its plug was tripped, so the TV could not be seen well. Reconnecting the cord helped, but it had to be repeated every time it was opened.

The hotel room was like an office from the 90s with old cabinets and other office furniture, so not very cozy. The walls were thin, so the chatter of other customers could be heard throughout the night. However, the customer service was extremely warm and friendly, full marks for that. The breakfast was also good, special mention for the gluten-free products.

Nice to place to stay for the night.

Mukava kokemus😊 Huone oil melko kuuma,mutta onneksi ikkunan sai auki. Ja oven kun laittoi myös auki-sai läpivedon😊 Aamupala oli maittava. Mukavan oloinen paikka😊

Very nice small Camping with Sauna. Not expensive!

Nice, very relaxed, small and rather quiet place. Nothing is new or polished here, very down to earth and facilities quite 'rural' and a bit aged. But a good sauna, very nice small lake and nice staff - well worth the very affordable stay. Don't come looking for shiny 5 star amenities but still well recommendable.

Cabin was very good but the facilities were a bit meh. And it's 20kms from the city, not 12 as the website says.

Nice place with basic facilities. Good service. We arrived quite late, but got the reception opened for us. Also our forgotten items were sent back home. Thank you!

It is located next to the train station/ central bus station. It is an historic wooden school building. They have bicycles for free. But be aware that these are a special Finnish design from the 1970ies with only backpedal breaks. But I enjoyed it a lot to drive around with it in Kuopio's landscape.

Excellent cleanliness, good number of toilet, excellent location, the place have iron and hair dryer available, which is amazing.

If there was no lack of a bathroom in the "room" (classroom), I would give 5 *. Cool, unique atmosphere, very nice owners, great location near the center, railway station and bus station. Very good value for money. The possibility of free (discretionally throw in any amount of money) using a makeshift buffet (coffee, tea, milk, bread, etc. basic products). Interesting experience! :)

Such nice folks. Money spent here goes towards class trips for the kids.

Good employees and a good place anyway Ps. I'm going there on the 7th

Absolutely lovely place. I've already been a big user of accommodation services for work, but this place hit me hard. It's hard to tell about the atmosphere of the place, but we'll go again next year. Super place if you find something new. Clean, peaceful, friendly, good location etc

Kaikki löytyy mitä hostellilta pitää. Tilat olivat siistit ja puhtaat, sijainti loistava.

Good hostel in Kuopio, relaxing stay just next to the lake, really nice common spaces with a nice library area and a big kitchen.

Very clean hostel, rooms, kitchen and bathrooms. Beds are comfortable, clean and bed linen were in good shape. No bad smells in room or anywhere else. Very good price overall.

Very good comunication, nice price, nice and cozy accommodation, beautiful location, absolute satisfaction! 😊

I don't like the doors and the kitchen wasnt very clean

A great hostel, comfortable rooms, nice bathrooms, the kitchen is well equipped. The hostel is very close to the lake and the area is perfect for walks. The city center is not far away.
