City Home Finland Arena Apartment in Tampere

Fantastic

Tuesday staycation
Double room with a bathtub did not disappoint. We walked from the hotel to city centrum to eat and then back, nice distance for a fall evening stroll. City bikes would have also been available near the hotel.

Hotel offered welcome drinks, which was a nice little touch to lift the mood.

Room was nice and quiet. Floor heating in the bathroom was quite warm and so the bedroom was also warm. We turned off the AC-machine for the night because it was loud but sleep would have probably been better with machine on.

Bathroom was clean and bathtub big enough for two people. Nice relaxing soak to end the day. Slippers and bathrobes available in the room.

Bed was ok. Personally I would have needed a slimmer pillow but that is the case in most hotels.

Breakfast as expected was great. Fresh, local and tasty.

The building is a traditional wooden house with a small garden. I had a very friendly and welcoming person checking me in. I was surprised to receive an offer of welcoming drink ( cava or non alcoholic drink) and also free soft drinks and chocolate in the room as it was not mentioned online.
The room was nicely decorated and on a very hot day the room was nice and cool but the huge air conditioning unit was very noisy and we had to turn it off for the night. Luckily the windows could be opened.
The bathroom looked pretty but it’s very impractical. There is a huge wash basin next to a shower and the toilet seat is at the back. If you have a shower it’s impossible to use the toilet without getting your feet wet. There is also no hooks for clothes or space for toiletry bag. The shampoos etc were very nice ( Rituals). Breakfast is very nice and varied but not your standard chain hotel breakfast. Breakfast is from 8-10 am.
We also had a dinner and the food was very nice. The restaurant was practically empty on a Saturday evening but we were told that they had had a very busy week.
We had a good sleep and a comfortable stay. I was given a hotel’s green tea as a gift on check out.

Frukosten var Suoerb!

Amazingly tasty breakfast buffet with local flavor and some twists. Pahalampi next to the hotel is amazing fishing place. Little far away from tampere center but it's not a big deal. Great a la carte restaurant, friendly and helpful staff. Feels like home as the hotel is small. Very unique in good way. 5/5

A gem of a little hotel…
Lillans is a gem of a place to stay… beautiful and comfortable rooms, spacious bathroom, lovely restaurant, great food! Serviceminded and very friendly staff! Parking just outside. Nice breakfast, not the biggest selection, but enough. Nice little treats and even a tasty souvernier to take home! There was a little traffic outside (room 8, just on the corner), the chair/desk are not great for work - looks nice! ;-) But it is such a nice place to stay!! Highly recommended!

Excellent boutique hotel near the city center. Atmospheric rooms in an old wooden building. Friendly service and excellent breakfast. Highly recommended 💯

Amazing place! So beautiful and relaxing atmosphere. One of my favourite places in Tampere. Highly recommend!

If you want to have a real Finnish home like experience in Tampere, you definitely have to stay at this place. The decoration, the rooms and the staff if the best! Breakfast is coming out from a movie there. Be sure to make your reservation soon, because the capacity is at top every day. 🧡
