Hotel in centre of city, convenient to rail and bus station. Would recommend this hotel and location to anyone. 18 kilometres from airport, 6€ single on the bus into the centre or 30€ taxi. The weather was cold 4c but sunny, ideal for sightseeing and walking. Everywhere clean and neat. Tampere is a nice place for a weekend visit. We... more

The hotel is situated on the main shopping road in Tampere, by the attractive riverside and next to a convenient shopping mall, reached undercover. The rooms were of good size, larger than usual in Finland, and the breakfasts were exceptionally good. The hotel restaurants seemed rather expensive, but there were many little restaurants only a few minutes' walk away; in... more

We booked 4th floor suite for our wedding night. Room looked really nice and staff was friendly. However, people hanging out around the night club were super noisy until about 4 AM –during the night we were pretty much able to hear every swore word that exists.

They put us in the room directly above their nightclub, which goes on until 4am every night. I could hear the music through my ear plugs! We checked in... more

The Ilves is one of the better hotels in Tampere; by some accounts the best. I found it to be perfectly acceptable, suitable for business travel but by no means the epitome of luxury. Location: The hotel is about 2-3 blocks from the railway station, a comfortable walking distance. There are closer hotels, but I was happy with this location.... more

Stayed here for 3 nights in Jan 2008. Very helpful and friendly front desk staff. Room was nice, clean, comfortable, pretty much expected standard for European 4* business-class hotel. Nice views over the river. Good breakfast. There is a Sauna (and pool I think) but I didn't use them so I can't comment on them. Short walk to other restaurants... more
