A good basic Sokos hotel. Great location in the city center.

The staff at check-in were very friendly. The room is nicely and functionally furnished. It has everything you need, including a hairdryer and a kettle with a tea-making station. The bed is very comfortable, and there are two different pillows to choose from. The breakfast is excellent in terms of both variety and quality. There are also many fresh options. The only slightly annoying thing is when the local car enthusiasts drive around the town hall square in the evenings. However, this is a problem that affects the entire city center and the hotels located there equally.

The room was really nice an had enough space for 4 person family. The only reason for 4 stars for the room was due to way to compact toilet and shower (compared with otherwise spacious room).
