I had a great stay here, when travelling through Tampere. The room was decorated with a nice, simple, modern but comfortable touch. It had everything I needed and a shoe horn too!!! I really like this hostel/hotel fusion. I used to travel in hostels a lot but as getting older I've started to appreciate a bit more privacy, but I don't need all the hotel pampering (always) either. It was nice that there was a kitchen station on the floor, I used it only to make cups of tea and to fill in a water bottle but enjoyed having the facilities. The staff at the reception were very friendly. Lastly, the location is great, close to city centre but also some of the all-time best bars Telakka and Klubi are just around the corner. I went to close by Tammelan Tori Market Square for breakfast in the morning, also recommend. :)

no negatives :)

The general vibe of the hotel was very cozy with the cute kitchen/common area, the little "swings" and the book swap concept. The location was perfect for our needs, close to the train station and the Nokia arena. The room was clean and the reception staff was super friendly!

The room was quite small, which wasn't a big problem because we mainly just slept there, but we missed having a little table or something. The beds also felt slightly "tilted" even though they were otherwise comfortable. The elevator wasn't working while we were there, which wasn't a problem for us, but other travellers with more luggage were struggling a bit.

1. Very great location, near department stores, university, and just a few walks to a train station, which is close to a shopping shops and restaurants. 2.Very clean bathroom and comsy bed. 3. Very safe place for staying over nights as there are 3 doors outside protecting residents from unexpected/stranger.

All are really good. No desk/table and the light a little bit limited in the room. However, there is a dinning and relaxing area outside the room which is good for making new friends. Still recommend for your great stay(s).

Nice rooms and good location near the stations. The staff is very friendly and flexible: I could arrive before check-in time and store my luggage, and also come back after reception closed (17 on Sundays) and get in my room, where my luggage awaited me, using instructions sent by email. Very convenient. Nice breakfast, although not a whole lot for vegans (vegan yogurt, bread spread, oat milk and the usual vegetables and jams), but still alright. Overall a great stay.

The bathroom is a bit small but manageable.

Not bad , fairly cheap , clean and everything there needed. It was a bed for the night and then I was off. Tea / coffee is available and you have the possibility to cook yourself , ( or microwave something) fridge there to store the needed. Please be aware : Breakfast is way too expensive for what is on offer.

To be fair - the reception could cheer up a little ( jeepers she seemed to be in a bad mood), quite off putting to new guests. But that is a staffing issue , not really a hostel issue - although that does drag the experience down.

Would highly recommend this hostel and hotel in Tampere for everyone visiting, the hotel is located upstairs and my room was so quiet, bed was huge and super comfortable and the WIFI was excellent too. The lovely lady at the reception helped answearing all my questions, was very approachable and friendly. Also they have a massive common area and facilities to prepare tea, coffee and even a small light meal. It is also located a few min walk from the train station, and also city center with all the attractions.

Location is superb. Kitchen was great, I loved the opportunity to store food into fridge and heat it in the kitchen. Free tea/coffee/hot chocolate. Bed was comfy. Curtains which were large enough to cover the window and lights at night. Friendly staff and good service. I arrived late, but key and entry were arranged. Thank you.

In shower stalls, they could add some hooks to keep one's stuff and clothes while showering. Too often this is forgotten, same happened here.

I liked the interior and the lay-out of the building. There were enough toilets and bathrooms. Employees were very friendly and there is a nice communal area with kitchen and different games to play.

It is a bit further away from the centre than other properties, but not that far. You only have to cross the train rails to get to the main centre. I had a bed at the back of the room. I could not connect to the wi-fi from my bed but had to do it in the common area. The wifi worked fine after.

They even have blow dryers there in the toilets. Great hostel for the price. Be prepared to make your own bed though. ;)

Everything else is great, but it would be nice to have free lockers inside the hostel rooms where one could use their own lock. Also the lockers provided (4€) don't fit the whole bag. Another thing that would be nice is that I would not get all the emails/messages in German. Where a person lives does not necessarily mean they speak the language... Maybe nationality would be better indicator of the language than the address where one lives at?

I arrived before the normal check-in time, but I received clear instructions how to get in and where I could find my key card for my room. The bunk rooms were tidy and clean. I was able to use their laundry facilities too. The breakfasts were good too. Most of all, the staff were very helpful and made me so welcome.

The drinks machine (tea/coffee) was past the reception area, and too far from the kitchen, where you were having your breakfast. The cooking facilities could have been better. Only two electric rings available, and on my last evening, a big English party of guests arrived and sort of took over the kitchen area and made it difficult for other solo travellers to use the facilities.
