Huone kaipaa päivitystä. Aamupala ravintolassa ei ollut riittävä ilmanvaihto. Todella lämmin oli syödä. Ei pystynyt aamupalasta nauttimaan.

Ihan ok.

Siisti, ok sängyt ja hyvä sijainti. Huoneessa on jostain käsittämättömästä syystä värillinen lasi-ikkuna kylpyhuoneeseen, joten kun vessaan sytyttää valon niin valaisee koko huoneen ja herättää seuralaisen. Aamiaisella ei saa espressoa tai capuccinoa edes maksamalla, vaikka kone heillä on, se ei vain ole päällä aamiaisella. Aivan typerää.

Matala tyyny ?

Kokemuksemme oli kaikinpuolin myönteinen. Olin matkalla lapsenlapseni kanssa ja osallistuimme hänen toiveestaan toritapahtumaan. Siksi hotellin sijainti meille oli mitä mainioin. Majoituimme astmaatikolle sopivaan siistiin perushuoneeseen. Suomen kaikissa hotelleissa saisi olla varustuksena myös matala tyyny niiden joillekin sopivien super pulleiden lisäksi. Osaan itse kuitenkin nukkua ilman tyynyäkin, joten tuo ei haitannut mukavaa matkaamme.

Hyvä perustason huone

Hotellihan ei ollut aivan uusi, mutta huone silti aivan ok. Aamiainen normaali hyvä Sokos-standardi. Vuode ehkä aavistuksen pehmeä, mutta ei silti nukkumista haitannut.

Perus hotl

Perushotelli. Eri erityistä. Hiljainen yöhuone yökerhosta huolimatta. Matkalla huoneesta aamiaiselle oli porras askelmia ja useampi avattava ennen hissiin pääsyä, joka liikunrajoitteiselle pieni haaste.

Varma valinta Joensuussa

Joensuun Vaakuna on vuosi toisensa jälkeen onnistunut joka kerta luomaan henkilökohtaisen, asiakaskeskeisen ja upean palvelukohtaamisen. Ystävällisiä ja rentoja tapaamisia. Huoneet ovat faceliftin saaneet, ravintolat ja tavaratalo samassa rakennuksessa, keskeinen sijainti ja hyvä sopimus viereisen kuntosalin kanssa.
