Hotels near Heikinahonpuisto in Tampere

The room is clean but plain: white textiles and light wood might give off a clinical vibe. So many power outlets, I counted eight and then two more in the bathroom! Service is lovely though, nice receptionists and I overheard how the receptionist asked a couple their breakfast wishes for the next morning, since they were to be the only customers! Basic breakfast, but served its purpose. Glutenfree options were well available when requested. The hotel room itself is quiet, but not fully dark: dim lights behind the ceiling panels stayed on the whole night above the door. They didn't bother my sleep though, perhaps prevented claustrophobic feels since there wasn't a window :)

I arrived at the hotel at 1 pm, and was welcomed by a friendly receptionist who assigned me a room right away and explained the breakfast as well as the sauna department hours. Check-in was quick and easy. The room was small and dated. A definite no-frills hotel room with basically no amenities. There were two 90 cm wide beds, comfortable enough, a small desk as well as an armchair but no coffee table – there was no room for one. There was a folded luggage rack leaning against the wall, which is nice, in theory, but there was no room to actually open it up anywhere inside the cramped room. Overlapping curtains kept the room dark, and there was a sparingly stocked minibar. There were sockets by the bed and desk, so charging your devices was easy. Wifi did not require a password. It was free, fast and reliable. There were no water bottles (tap water is potable), no safe, no air conditioning (the room was incredibly hot during the mid-August heatwave, definitely uncomfortable; opening the window didn’t help much). The cramped bathroom came with a handheld shower. No bathtub. I would have wished for better water pressure. Toiletries consisted of wall-mounted containers of soap, shampoo, and, in theory, shower gel, although my container was empty on arrival and was not filled during my stay. The containers were not tamper-proof and after reading so much about how people amuse themselves filling those containers with whatever stuff, I would hope Scandic would choose to save money somewhere else instead and use hygienic minibottles. I consider Scandic a no-frills budget chain and understand their desire to charge separately for mostly everything, but reading all their signs did make me smile a bit. Borrow a bathrobe for 5 EUR. Late check-out fee 10 EUR/hour… Breakfast was served in the restaurant on the ground floor (6–10 weekdays, 6:30–10:30 Saturdays, 7:30–11 Sundays). It is always included in the room rate. It was a bit above your usual Finnish hotel breakfast buffet with scrambled eggs and a few hot items, good breads (but few cheeses and cold cuts), water melon slices, good smoothies. I liked the mini-sized Karelian pasties with egg butter as well as the berry pie. The restaurant was also open for dinner daily, which was nice as most restaurants in town are closed on Sundays. There is a sauna department and a 4x12 m swimming pool in the basement, open 7–10 am & 4–10 pm. No pool towels, bring one from the room. The pool is nice, albeit a bit cool. There is a separate splash pool for kids, too. A complete renovation is long overdue, but take it as time travel to Finland in the 1980s. The hotel enjoys the best location in town, right next to the main street Hämeenkatu, a minute away from shopping, restaurants and nightlife. There is a tram stop right around the corner. I can’t think of any hotel in Tampere that would have a more central location. Therefore, it is sad to see how neglected the hotel is. It’s 40 years old, and it shows. Some cheap

If in town for business, especially at Tampere Talo, this hotel is the perfect choice as the two buildings are connected with a covered corridor. The rooms however are rather small and the beds a bit too high although definitely comfortable. The coffee machine in the room is definitely a huge plus and if the fridge functioned as a mini bar, that would raise the quality even higher. The on-site restaurant has a small menu but the food is very delicious and they also offer a great bar selection.

Beautiful scenery, there are two saunas, one smoke sauna and one private sauna. Very close to the Tampere Sightseeing Tower, the doughnuts of the Sightseeing Tower are delicious!

There is a Scandic on each side of the train station, which is easy to go wrong. The department store Stock*** is on the side of the City, and the other side is the Station. The breakfast is the same every day. You can consider bringing some instant noodles.

The hotel was clean and quiet, it was good to sleep. I thought it was when breakfast did not get breakfast cream as requested, no one of the staff greeted or wished good morning, which I think would be one of the good practices.

An old hotel with a century-old history, full of history, although the facilities are old, but clean and tidy, the view and scenery are also good, the refrigerator is rich in drinks and snacks.

The traffic is very convenient, just opposite the train station, but there are two hotels in scandic, please pay attention to distinguish the names, they are located in both directions of the station

Stayed here with family in July 2022 for one night. Had a familyroom allowing also our dog, room 178. Room was spacious (two bedroom apartment), own patio, big bathroom and sauna. Patio is old and not taken care of but otherwise the room was OK. Tidy and good for a family with a dog since you could access the yard and go for a walk with the dog through the patio. The spa and pools were crowded and did rally not offer anything special. One big pool and some hot tubes. As regards the breakfast - cannot recommend it at all: coffe the cheapest brand tasting bad, no fresh frukt except of whole apples and som kiwifruits that you need to peel yourself. Bread taken from the freezer, due to which some of it was dry. Pancakes industrially made etc. All in all I would rate this experience with one star only since the breakfast included nothing extra but felt more like a mass feeding. This continues to surprise me since the hotels - generally - could with quite a small effort make the breakfast experince so much nicer for their guests. Why not offer special coffe, clean tables, nicely set food, and that something special for the guests? Also the breakfast was quite messy at 9.30 in the morning.
