Original Sokos Hotel Ilves Tampere

Out of all of the hotels we stayed in our Finland trip we liked this one the best! Thanks to the amazing and proffesional woman admin who checked us in, i felt welcome from the very first moment! She offered upgrade to high floor room with amazing views over the river/lake and nice slippers and bathrobes! I watched the view all the time, with boats and bridges it was beautiful. Room was cozy, minibar well stocked and breakfast plenty! Location is very close to centre of town, could walk everywhere! Elevator was super fast!

I liked everything!

Very beautiful place, comfortable beds, from higher floors beautiful view of the city. The breakfast was also very good. The cleaning is pristine as well. I would gladly stay here again, thank you for everything

2 small things: booking it through booking.com means they don’t give an invoice, and they told me they could when I reached out to them by email. I am left to hope that the invoice-receipt booking provided will suffice to my company. Although very likely this is not the hotels fault. The sauna is until 9pm, and while it’s good it could be slightly longer… Breakfast does not include coffee other than filter coffee. At a hotel like this, it would have been nice to be able to get espresso based coffees in the breakfast.

Food and staff very good. Room was nice and comfortable

Gym was not open in the morning before leaving for work

Breakfast and breakfast personnel were great! Room had a great view over the river and the city with big windows but the room (family room) was really small and the extra bed for our daughter super hard. You pay for the facilities like sauna and the swimming pool that had VERY LIMITED opening hours!

Opening hours for pool and sauna should be lot longer
