Detailed Reviews
Hotel's Favorite
Was dreading going to this hotel after reading the reviews.
Had booked a twin and was given a double, this was sorted out quickly. Yes the hotel is older but it was clean, the beds were comfortable and the twin room was spacious and so was the bathroom, not all twin rooms and bathrooms are the same size as some are smaller. This room did have a safe which was locked on arrival and was sorted really quickly. Not all rooms have safes. There was an iron and ironing board in the room. The fridge did not work and was not fixed during our stay but they let us use the fridge at reception. The rooms don't have kettles but you can request one if they are available which we got. No air conditioning but the room was cool. No view from the room but that didn't bother us. Did not try the pool and sauna so cannot comment on.
Breakfast was amazing, loads to choose from and was always replenished really quickly. Tables were cleared quickly and all the staff were friendly, hard working and helpful.
The hotel location is spot on with loads of restaurants and shops nearby. Transport around Tampere is first class. We only had breakfast in the hotel which was of high quality but cannot comment regarding dinner as we ate out. The Faasai Thai restaurant round the corner from the hotel was amazing.

This hotel is an old Cumulus chain hotel. Not much has changed regarding the interior. The hotel is in an OK condition, rooms perhaps a bit worn out and in a need of refurbishment. This summer has been record-breaking hot in Finland and the hotel did not have air-conditioning, so the room was quite warm. Luckily our room was facing the park to the north, so it was not the hottest room and we were able to keep the window open at nights.
During the pandemic the hotels have been hit hard and that shows e.g in saving on staff costs. This, coupled with a lot of Finns travelling domestically due to travel restrictions, led to the lobby of the hotel being nearly constantly crowded with people queueing for checking in our out.
A very good breakfast where guests were allocated 30 min slots upon checking in to allow enough room for everyone to keep a safe distance to others.

Dear Zam72, Thank you for staying in our hotel and your review. This summer was indeed busier than expected in Tampere area. We are happy that people are travelling again even though pandemia is not totally over. Unfortunately high demand in rooms led to queues in Front desk and long waiting times in check-in, I apologize for that. I'm happy that you enjoyed your stay and hopefully we will see you as our guest soon again!

Plus
+ location is superb, walking distance to the train station and Tammerkoski is just beside the hotel.
+ friendly staff
Minus
- this hotel is absolutely outdated, rooms have to be freshed up/renovated very quickly: the current state is not really worth of the money at the moment
- I do expect that rooms are tidied up every single day during my stay if I have to pay well over 100 euro per night for my stay. I don't need clean towels or bed sheets every day BUT I do expect that pins are emptied and bed is done daily. It is embassing to run after more toilet paper.. gosh.

Hei Elmiina, Kiitos vierailusta hotellissamme ja antamastasi palautteesta. Olen todella pahoillani, ettei majoittuminen sujunut parhaalla mahdollisella tavalla, eikä huonekokemus vastannut odotuksia. Kiitos, että annoit palautetta huoneen välisiivouksesta. Olen käynyt palautteesi läpi kerroshuollon vastaavan kanssa. Olen iloinen, että palvelu on ollut ystävällistä. Sijaintimme on minunkin mielestä kaupungin paras! Tästä on niin helppo kulkea kaupungin nähtävyyksiin ja tapahtumiin. Toivon, että tämän kertaisesta kokemuksesta huolimatta saamme sinut vieraaksemme vielä uudelleen. Hyvää talven odotusta! Ystävällisin terveisin, Sanna

TLDR: No air con, need for renovation, bad soundproofing
We came to this hotel for stop over with my spouse - we were supposed to come back next week with friends and kids, but changed to another hotel for that one.
The best thing is the location. It’s superb, the doors open to Pikku kakkosen puisto (playground) and everything is right around the corner.
However, there are cons:
• This hotel obviously used to be a Cumulus hotel (basic level chain that Scandic bought) and it has not been renovated. You get a Cumulus room with Cumulus bed and shower
• Soundproofing is bad
• Yes, it needs a renovation
• No air condition, so you can sleep if you take cold shower and sleep naked
• It’s a big hotel with only two elevators
If you’re not looking for a staycation style, but a cheap stay for a junior sports team, this may be ideal for you, but compared to other Scandics, it didn’t feel much value for money. Maybe if the do a proper reno, this could be great, but not now.

Hei Katariinam, Thank you for your stay and review. I apologize that our hotel did not meet your Scandic expectations. Unfortunately our hotel doesn't have an air conditioning and it has been a while since our latest renovation in rooms. Hopefully we will get renovation soon to updated our rooms. Our location is the best in town, I agree, especially for the families. Children's playground right outside and we have an indoor pool, which many appreciate. I hope your visit in Tampere was otherwise great and you will be back soon. Hopefully you'll visit also our hotel again!

I stayed in this hotel in January 2020, just before COVID for five nights on a business trip. After been to Tampere for 7-8 times and staying in many other Scandic hotels in the city, this Scandic hotel is located in a much central location, with a beautiful view over the rapid and park. I was given a room upgrade on arrival, which was a pleasant surprise. The room was a bit out of date, compared to other Scandic hotels in the city, but very well maintained and clean. Breakfast was standard as with all other Scandic hotels, with a wide range of healthy choice of fresh fruits, yogurts and hot foods. The blueberries juice is a must in any Finnish hotel. I totally enjoyed my stay there and really look forward to returning to Tampere and stay in this hotel again one day once the pandemic is over.

Sometimes multiple things go wrong. This time the bathroom was lacking toilet paper, paper tissues and washing liquid. The breakfast room was in a chaos. The tables were full of dirty dishes and the waitresses worked like zombies. The food was OK, but the surroundings were terrible. And there was no AC in the room. However the price was high, so I cannot recommend this hotel unless you like to throw your money away and feel miserable while doing it!

Location is excellent in the middle of the city. Breakfast good with local delicatess, black sausage. Selection in the room minibar was quite ridiculous, one bier, one soft drink, red and white wine and peanuts. So when my wife took a soft drink, there was none left for me.

Hello Repomies, Thank you for the stay and this nice feedback. I'm sorry that you were left without soda drink from the minibar. At the moment our selection in minibar is narrower than normal. You can always contact reception to fill your minibar if you need more. I hope you enjoyed your visit in Tampere and we will see you here soon again! Best regards, Sanna

Unfortunately, Scandic Tampere Koskipuisto as a hotel experience was very bad for me, who travels a lot and has seen different hotels in different parts of Finland, Europe and the world. The interior style of the hotel room was from the 1980s; very variegated and restless in terms of color and decor, dark and the furniture uneven and old. The hotel rooms were decorated in a very unprofessional manner, and they did not correspond to the harmonious, timeless interior design styles of 21st century hotels. The entrance hall of the hotel, with dark color scheme, darkness and low-level interior design, also represented the hotel standard left over from the 1980s, as well as the restaurant. In the 2020 century, hotels with such low-quality, old-fashioned and very unstylish interiors should no longer exist. This was a shame to see and experience, because the location of the hotel is in an excellent location!
Unfortunately, I can't recommend this hotel to customers who appreciate the modern, aesthetically timeless, harmonious, stylish decoration level and the hotel's customer service, which shows a constant ability to renew itself in this time. Scandic Tampere Koskipuisto's price and quality level really don't match.

We had a family room with magnificent view to the Tammerkoski. Room was clean, but slightly outdated. Room had no temperature control, and it was very warm, so we had to keep the window constantly open. Luckily it was March and not July. Main beds were good, but the additional beds pretty bad. They were uneven, hard, jiggly and squeaky.
We liked the sauna and pool on the cellar, although would have appreciated the main pool to have shallower end for kids to swim safely. There is also a kids pool, but it is too shallow to swim.
The breakfast was very comprehensive, and we enjoyed it a lot!
The staff at reception was very friendly and helpful.
The hotel has parking area of its own and ther is also possibility to buy parking at the nearby Hämppi-parking hall.

The location is excellent for varying purposes. I myself played a practice and a competition golf round in Tammer Golf course only 11 minutes away. Meanwhile my travel companions visited on foot all central Tampere attractions and shopping malls. The attractions included the Museum Centre "Vapriikki" and the Spy Museum, the latter being great fun for both old and young. The hotel has two saunas - one for ladies and one for gentlemen - both attached to a swimming pool of adequate size. Remember to take the towels from your bathroom! Although situated in the very center of the city, the hotel is surprisingly quiet, partly due to there being no through passing traffic. Also, one side of the hotel is bordered by a lawn area close to the landmark of channel of rapids, "Tammerkoski". The services are impeccable starting with wide range of offerings at the breakfast buffet counter. The only slight minus is the lack of dedicated car parking spots at arrival. There are a few metered spots close to the main entrance, but then again you need to equip yourself with a few euro coins in advance!
