I believe the parking place and the gym were the highlights of my stay. The room and service was good, but the hotel has seen its best days. Although it still probably is one of the best in the area. Overall the experience was very similar as in many other Sokos hotels: everything works but nothing really stands out.

What you get here is exectly what you can expect from standandart hotel in Scandinavia. Clean simple and value for money. It was almost the only hotel which was warking during holdays in Kouvola, we havn't done any prebooking as were driving and just stoping over on the way. 500 m from railway station, very convinient.

There is not much choice in Kouvola when it comes to hotels, and I decided to go for a hotel from a reknown chain. The hotel is at a walking distance from everything you need: the shopping area, the train station, the (few) restaurants and the Finnish nature. The staff was friendly and helpful. The room that I had seemed... More

Hotel itself is really nice, good service, nice n clean rooms. Breakfast is also good as usually in Finland. Kouvola town itself is quite quite place. Not really anything happening. I remember it in the 80's, night life was a lot more colorful.

Stayed in a suite and it was fantastic: very comfortable bed, own private sauna and very good size bathroom with the massive power shower. "living room" area was spacious and the suite itself very modern. Staff in reception was very friendly and professional, breakfast... More

This is the famous pink hotel in the city centre of Kouvola. The location is very good: a peaceful place in the city centre! There is a Finnish sauna (separated for men and women) with a jacuzzi (whirlpool), free for hotel guests. Also a free gym and private saunas (extra cost) with a jacuzzi. Also family rooms, superior rooms (with... More
