The hotel is a throwback to the 70s. Has not been updated since the Nixon administration. I really didn’t mind the old style, it was kind of charming actually.
I did mind the fact that the tub drain wasn’t positioned properly and all the water draining from the tub wound up on the floor during my wife’s shower. I know it’s not my problem, but I can’t allow water to gratuitously drain on the floor….anyone’s floor. I was vexed by this problem. Luckily I have plumbing skills and I was able to take the two plates off of the access portion and I noticed that the pvc drainpipe from the tub was not squarely positioned over the separate floor drain. I carefully nudged the tub’s drain pipe so its end became positioned over that floor drain. Bingo! The problem was solved. The tub water then drained properly. No runs, drips or errors. I didn’t have to bug the staff and I was quite proud of myself for fixing it. That’s the German blood in me I suppose.
If you want towels replaced, you need to pre-arrange that at the front desk. My wife was informed that she should have arranged this originally at check in. I think it was a bit of eco-shaming.
Overall, the hotel has good karma I believe. Finland is a bit behind the times, but it’s all quite charming. We ate a reindeer for dinner in a nearby restaurant. There were many restaurants present in the surrounding area of the hotel.
The Bolt/Uber is a bit crazy just outside of the hotel, but just send the driver a message you are at Sokos.
