Conveniently located in the heart of town. I had requested an accessible room. The bathroom facilities for this room were excellent. Large walk in shower with handle bars. Nice breakfast although it was like a maze to get to the breakfast area. The Amarillo restaurant is conveniently located in the hotel.

6/10 Good

Sijainniltaan hyvällä paikalla, keskustan ytimessä. Henkilökunta ystävällistä ja palvelualtista. Aamiainen kattava, jossa huomioitu paikallisuus, kotileipomon tekemät herkulliset karjalanpiirakat. Aamupala kuuluu hotellihintaan, joka plussaa. Huone siisti. Hyvä sänky nukkua. Tilansa puolesta hotelli sokkeloinen, tyyny(t) hieman huonosti tuki omaa niskaa.

8/10 Very good

Siistiä, kphn lattiasaumat vähän nuhruiset. Henkilökunta ystävällistä ja avuliasta. Aamiainen maukas ja runsas. Pysäköinnin maksullisuutta (14€) en ollut etukäteen huomannut, tuntui ylimääräiseltä melko korkean huonehinnan huomioonottaen. Hotelli on kovin sekava sen eri aikoina rakennettujen osien takia, ehkä opastusta voisi vielä selkiyttää,

Siisti huone, ja hyvät yöunet sain yhden yön vierailulla. Olisin kaivannut ikkunoiden aukaisu mahdollisuutta - nyt sitä ei ollut. Aamupalalla tarjottavia riittävästi, mutta meluisa aamupalasali. Tulen uudelleen, kun vierailen Joensuussa.

Huoneess muutama pölypallo lattialla ja saunaosaston poreallas ei ollut käytössä. Aamupala voisi alkaa jo 6.00

Aamiainen oli surkea. Puuro ei ollut ilmeisesti kerennyt kypsyä. Kaikki paikat hotellissa ovat kulahtaneet. Remontin tarpeessa. Älyttömän pieni ja kulunut kylpyhuone.
