Couldn't open windows in the rooms, and temperature control was quite difficult.

Breakfast was excellent, and staff very kind and welcoming.

Hotel position

Stayed in December 2023

Hotel is a little dated. Also 'in suite sauna' did not have a handrail and could be very dangerous.

Beautiful remote lakefront location, with walking trails, bikes available. Breakfast good with gluten/lactose free options. Had some amenities challenges initially, but Mia, Front Desk Manager handled the situation professionally. Must have car to travel to this location. Parking included. 10 minute drive to Tampere center. Front desk staff friendly and helpful. We travelled in the fall, however, there is a beach and tennis courts on the property close by.

Rooms were not ready on time for people with dogs. Schedule was a mess and some people couldn't go to some events they had tickets for.

Nice location, beautiful

Swimming pool was out of order.

The fact that the windows cannot be opened is a no go for me to visit the hotel another time! And the airco did strange things.... In the middel of the tnight is was blowing very hard en cold air all of a sudden etc. The hotel bar closed too early.

The location is perfect with the lake on a 3 minutes walk through green area. 10 minutes away from Tampere by bicycle. Nice breakfast, with even porrage with extra ingredients for me. Breakfast till 11 and checkout only at 12 is super! Great friendly staff.

Sauna could be open all day.

Very fine hotel. Very beautiful and quiet location. Room is spacious, stuff very friendly. Breakfast was excellent. And its just half hour walking distance from centre.

Considering the age of the hotel there wasn’t much not to like. The decor could be updated but it didn’t really make difference to me

Location! Also, though the hotel is old the room was still in good shape. Especially points for the good bed. I requested a quiet room which was also delivered. There is also free parking!

Cleaning staff was already before 8am loudly cleaning in the hallway. No peace. They made a lot of noise.

Clean neat facilities. Good breakfast.

Good location.

rooms felt dated - like they were fittings from the 90s and had not been updated since. while not a total downside, if would have been nice to have a more thoughtfully laid out bathroom and more modern plugs with usb charging for the price

amazingly scenic location and good walk to city centre; wonderfully quiet at night and restful

Stayed in September 2022

I did not like the design of the hotel and the room - it was somehow cold, uncomfortable. Surprised by the lack of slippers in a room in a 4 star hotel. In terms of value for money, I think the price of 115 euros per night is too high (for 1 person). In my opinion, the price should have been around 85 euros.

In general, I liked everything. I liked the location, the area where the hotel was located. The breakfast was good, but not "wow".

There was only one bike available for use. The other one being under repair. Which means only two rental bikes in total? The main reason I booked the hotel was for the bikes, so this was quite a disappointment for my partner and I.

The Scandic is a reasonable hotel. It's location is very beautiful, but it is a fair walk from the town centre of Tampere. It's best to reach it by bus.

The only improvement would be food options at the hotel. Apart from a small shop for snacks there was no options to have lunch there, and the evening meal options were very limited so it meant that you had to go out to eat all the time. We were staying when it had just changed to winter hours, so maybe this was why but it would have been nice to have the option to have a proper lunch at the hotel. This is the only reason for marking down to a 9 instead of a 10.

There were 3 of us and we had a HUGE family room. There was a separate bedroom for the adults and 2 bathrooms which was a real bonus. The room was clean and tidy with plenty of space to spread out and for our son to play. The hotel is in a fantastic location with plenty of walking, swimming and nature options nearby. It was nice to feel like you were in the countryside, but only a short ride to the city centre if you wanted to go out. The sauna and pool area were great, and we used these every day. The staff were friendly and helpful so anytime we had questions or needed help they were great.

We couldnt figure out a way to turn off the air conditioning during the night. (we tried all the different modes and it wouldnt stay off for long)

Breakfast was included and had a very nice selection of food available. Parking is free for guests as is the use of the Sauna and Pool in the basement.

quit and great diner and breakfast

As a vegetarian I found the breakfast to be varied and substantial. It was well presented. There was plenty of space to spread out in the dining room.

Check-in staff was unfriendly and too busy. The handle in the shower/bath was loose.

Excellent breakfast

Stayed in April 2022

The only thing I would say was I ate a Angus burger on my first night from the restaurant, I didn't end up eating it all as I was cauious of it being abit to pink for me, and because I was competing I didn't want to take the risk, so all I would suggest is to maybe ask how the customer would like it cooked.

The breakfast I felt was brilliant, a vast variety of food to offer to start your day on the right path. I came to compete for Great Britain in the World Masters Championships, it was my first time attending, and first time in Finland, I felt very relaxed and safe. The pool looks amazing, I got to try it yesterday. I used the gym on the 2nd day and like the equipment in there, I felt it helped. I never get the chance to use a sauna back home, so I took advantage of using it at the hotel and I loved it. The most calm I've felt in a good while. The beds are really comfy. This is the first trip outside of the UK that I have taken since COVID, and it definitely won't be my last.

A minor point but including USB charging points in the rooms would be handy for people who have forgotten a UK socket converter.

Fantastic breakfast, lots of choice and a special section for vegans and people who need gluten free options (meaning that people who don't, don't accidentally eat it). A really beautiful setting and an excellent conference venue, very well planned and with all amenities close to hand. Being part of the scooter network means not having to use taxis if you prefer not to and it's only 15 mins on a scooter from the railway station.

the equipment is bit older..

we liked the reception guy, he was very helpfull. the hotel is in nice location, but far from centre.

There was a smelly old pizza in freezer, most probably left by some previous guests. Sauna was cold in the morning, although was advertised by administrators in the evening.
