Recommendable except for the parking
Not the most modern venue in Joensuu but clean and well maintained anyway. Location is excellent in downtown. Big disappointment was the hotel parking that was advertised as free. It was free but obviously too small for demand, so it was fully booked every evening. My room was big, especially the bathroom was about the size of a small hotel room. It was an "accessible room", although I did not ask for it. I consider it an upgrade. The breakfast was excellent to my taste.

Very nice hotel
The hotel and room were very nice. Breakfast was great. The only issue was paying for parking because the free lot was full.

Breakfast
Still feels like a 70s style hotel. Very basic in the room (no coffee maker, kettle or such) but adequate.
Good Breakfast spread appreciated.

Bed needs replacing.
Friendly staff but the bed was narrow and sunken in the middle leading to a bad night's sleep.
One of the older Scandics.

Bekvämt stort rum med väldigt bra säng. Allt vi behövde fanns på plats. Det var rent och väl underhållet. Hissarna var rymliga och tysta. Trevlig och hjälpsam personal. Vi hade det väldigt trivsamt på alla sätt. Inga störningsmoment alls. Tack för den här gången.

Hotelli oli perustason hotelli. Huoneet olivat siistit, sijainti hyvä. Aamupala ravintola oli tilava ja aamupala itsessään riittoisa.

Hotelli on hyvällä sijainnilla keskellä kaupunkia, mutta on huoneiltaan ehkä vähän vanhahtava, vaikka kaikki huoneissa toimikin ja kylpyhuoneet ovat remontoituja. Iso plussa helposti järjestyneestä late check-outista.

Aikansa eläneet kupit ja tuolien verhoilut
Erittäin likaiset kahvikupit ja aterimet sekä tuolien istuinosat aamupalahuonessa. Aamupalan hedelmät eivät olleet tuoreita, eikä niitä selvästikään haluttu otettavan, vaan ne oli vain täyttämässä jotain velvollisuutta. Puuro oli vetinen ja mauton. Kaikenkaikkiaan heikkotasoinen aamiaiskokemus.
Huoneessa oli myös erittäin likainen nojatuoli.
