Nice place for business, wouldn't want an extended stay as the rooms are small and the beds poor. Has a bar and restaurant in case you do not want to go out. Within walking distance of downtown, nice river next it to enjoy in the summer.

Sokos hotel Kimmel is average business hotel. Live music almost every weekend in hotels night club. Location is peaceful, but only 500 meters from city center. Good sauna. Friendly and helpfull staff. Hotel is also suitable for business meetings.

This hotel was average "nothing to complain but nothing special to mention eihter" -kind of experience until I went to breakfast. The gluten free selection was great: breads, buns, bisquits and even a special toaster for gluten free breads. Excellent! They also offered to prepare me my own porridge, but as there was so much to eat anyway I said... More

Room was furnished well, two chairs, sofa for three, normal sized double bed, baby bed, working table, TV-table, fitness bike, all fitted in and still feeling that there was a lot of space. Decoration was a bit worn out, but... More

This is a very big hotel. Looks like it has been modernised in phases. I stayed with a group of business colleagues and customers for two nights. The reception staff were frendly and efficient.

Late flight into Joensuu airport, taxi got to the hotel about 00:30. Easy check-in, 3rd floor, twin room with two rather narrow beds. Didn't use the TV (CRT 21"), went straight to bed.
