Original Sokos Hotel Seurahuone

The Finnish Lakeland


Towering over the kauppatori, this business hotel is a safe if characterless choice. Most rooms have lake views, satellite TV and cramped bathrooms; those in the superior and themed categories are larger and have kettles. Breakfast is served in the next-door Perlina restaurant. The grotty 6th-floor summer terrace bar/restaurant and adjoining nightclubs mean that sleeping soundly on weekends is unlikely.

Parking costs €15, pets €10. Note that not all rooms have air-conditioning.
