Nice reception, friendly staff, great lunch, great location, clean room, comfy bed - probably best hotel in area. However, my room was really small and the decro was quite dated. Only one lift as well, which is a pain. Would stay again when I'm back that way, does the trick okay.

About one year after first visit to this hotel, I found it better this time. This time rooms were better and also restaurant was serving as normal. Good thing about this hotel, is it's location, in center of this small town. Poor thing was the street noise.

All average hotel. In july or august rooms might be a bit hot - no AC... Town center location so most likely you will hear city noise from the streets (evenless we had a room opposite side to the nearby street and top floor). Good food found in hotel restaurant, seems to be a popular lunch restaurant among the locals... More

The hotel is located in the middle of the small city centre of Kajaani. The staff was friendly and helpful and delivered the service required. My room (superior) was quite ok in size and had a decent bathroom. But.. 5 light bulbs in my room was out and the room was "tired" in appearance. The hallway/stair smelled a bitt sewer.... More

Usually S-hotels in Finland are good value for money, but this on I can not recommend. Worn out rooms, rooms are scattwred aroun in several buildings, breakfast is good in theory only (good ingredients, but even scrabled eggs were overcooked). The only good thing is the location in the centre of the town.

Good location, but rooms are old and poor. Also some issues with cleaning.

Having spent multiple nights in Scandic Kajanus, Sokos Seurahuone and Sokos Valjus, I have to say that this hotel (Valjus) is the place I'd least recommend to anyone. Dark (which makes it feel dirty) and labyrinth-like. Hard to find your room, since its so far from the reception. Loud drunken people walking back-forth on corridors looking for the sauna/smoking place/their... More

Like said in the previous review, there is no airconditioning and the rooms are very hot even in september. Blankets are very thick so it meant no sleep at all. Rooms and bathrooms are very small. The worst experience during our stay was the breakfast. The food in the breakfast buffet was infested with flies! All we could eat was... More

We, an elderly couple without kids are frequent visitors in this hotel for many years. It would be five stars with air conditioning which they don’t have. This year we had rooms in shade which I don’t recommend as they are even hotter than on the sunny side of the Kauppakatu street and without a balcony. Anyway, for massive eaters... More
