Good value for money, not a fancy place, really simple and have a 90-th vibe. But everything was clean, room was spacious, great location if you have to be nearby univercity hospital. Shower in toilet in the room, extra pillows and blankets available if needed. Really quiet too. Breakfast included.

The place is rather remote otherwise, so if you're not prepared to walk to the city, choose a more central location. Also, it is on a rather steep uphill from all directions.

The place is great if you need to stay next to the university or hospital. The place is rather calm, basic facilities available, the grocery shops are just a minute away.

Every day there were the same things for breakfast.

The biggest advantage was the sauna in the room and the large size of the room. Despite the negative temperatures outside, the room was very warm.

Good hotel, with its age becoming noticeable. Located 20-25 minutes from the city centre on foot, and conveniently served by buses that stop very close by. Breakfast includes eggs, sausages, bacon, cheese, some vegetables, coffee and juices, karelian pies (recommended), fruit, some sweets, etc. The reception is closed in the evening and until the morning. It has a strange charm (it looks like a Kaurismaki film set). The temperature in the room may be a bit low for those coming from warm climates, and during autumn, but this is common in Finland.

Not really modern or fancy but it works just fine for one night. The breakfast is ok, but the choice is rather limited.

Good location within 100 m from a supermarket, a pizzeria and a pub. A bit old, but still quite clean room.

The lift (1975 vintage I think) really does need refurbishing as it was the only really scruffy thing we noticed in the hotel.

After reading some of the reviews, our expectations were not high, but we found the hotel to be very much better than we had expected. It is located a little away from the centre in a quiet and largely residential neighbourhood. The hotel appears to have been built in the 1970s, when Finland was approaching the peak of its prosperity, and if you can look past the now somewhat worn furnishings in the restaurant and public areas, you will get a good idea of what a smart modern hotel looked like then. It seems to accommodate some relatively long-term guests and had a pleasant, unfussy atmosphere. Our room had evidently been refurbished and was clean and comfortable. By Finnish standards this hotel offers very good value for money and we'd be happy to stay there again.

Since there isn’t a reception desk, it’s a bit of a hassle to check in. You have to make arrangement at what time you’re arriving. But once you get the key card, there is no problem with coming and going.

The hotel was quiet and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was fine, too.

The bathroom was not as clean as normally expected. ( stayed at the Savonia before) Shower head was covered in limescale this should not happen. This might have been an oversight by house hold. No plug and the washbasin had a big crack in it. In our opinion the room should not have been given out until the bathroom is repaired. The complementary hairdryer was broken (which we reported to reception as well as the damaged wash basin.) There are no tea and coffee facilities in the rooms but on the plus side there is a communal area where you can boil water to maje a hot srink. . Tea, coffee, sugar milk all provided plus a fridge to store cold drinks etc.

The room was nice, quiet, comfortable beds, clean linnen. Breakfast included basic but good food. Scrambled eggs, sausages, bacon, coffee, etc A toaster would have been nice .... We enjoyed staying at the Savonia but unfortunately there were a few things which I have stated in section I didn't like

Big room with a separate ’living room’. Perfectly clean and modern. Good price. The 20-minute walk to the centre did not harm thanks to excellent walking paths.

The elevator was a bit scary, not slowing for breaking and not stopping correctly for the floors. I would like a fridge in the room.

Very nice and quiet big room with separate bedroom and living room area, and big bathroom with jacuzzi, like a suite. Comfortable bed

Nothing to complain.

The old fashioned lift/elevator.

Good basic hotel for an overnight stay.

Bit of a walk to city center, especially return up the hill. Risk of erasing old magnetic key cards.

Easy parking. Decent breakfast for the money. Right next to grocery store, kiosk, pharmacy etc. Close to Puijo.

Stayed in June 2023

It is located out in the suburbs with nothing really interesting around.

A simple hotel with no frills but it’s fine for one night. The manager helped us with our rooms so that we had adjoining rooms without asking. Nice breakfast.

Stayed in July 2023

We have to pay for parking after 8:00 AM. Not expensive but not free.

No restaurant nearby but coffee bar in the hotel serves food till 1:00 AM. Very good breakfast selection. Nice and clean room.

Obviously they could renew the keycards.

Breakfast was not that versatile at first glance, but finally I had on my plate everything I usually have. Coffee was excellent. The room had an extra electric heater and an additional door and therefore the stay was warm with no disturbing noise. It is better to be in the hotel before 22.00, since after that time you have to pay extra 80 euros for security if your keycard is not working. The card is of old style and if it is kept near your cellular phone, all the information of the card may be lost. This was warned very clearly. The walls of the room were covered with birch and furniture was also made of birch, giving a nice atmosphere. Two supermarkets, a pizzeria and parking space were within 100 meters.

The wifi (the one secured with the password) was very weak in our room. However the free wifi on the ground floor in common (breakfast) area was very fast. The the heating batteries (radiators) were very noisy. The circulation of heating water could have been heard all the night.

Location is ok for the travelers with the car. Few minutes drive to the center of Kuopio. Hotel quite dated, but clean and maintained. There was a kettle with the tea in the common area in the corridor, so a plus for the ones needing a hot drink late in the evening. The breakfast was ok, not outstanding but definitely worth money for the value. Parking lot next to the hotel also ok.

Very good overall, with very helpful staff. The location is a short bus ride from the train station and bus station. Without luggage, it's a walkable distance to the city centre and some major attractions, especially the Orthodox Church Museum of Finland, and also other attractions. Or you can walk (or cycle) in the opposite direction along numerous pleasant, forested roads and pathways.
