Huone oli siisti ja hiljainen. Henkilökunta oli erittäin ystävällistä ja auttavaista. Aamupala oli mainio.

4/10 Fair

Aamiainen oli hyvin perinteinen. Samanlainen kuin oli jo 2000 luvun alulla. Voisihan sitä vähän muokata.

Udemærket hotel, dog i den let dyre ende taget kvaliteten i betragtning. Godt beliggnede i byen.

Huone kaipaa päivitystä. Aamupala ravintolassa ei ollut riittävä ilmanvaihto. Todella lämmin oli syödä. Ei pystynyt aamupalasta nauttimaan.

8/10 Very good

Ihan ok.

Siisti, ok sängyt ja hyvä sijainti. Huoneessa on jostain käsittämättömästä syystä värillinen lasi-ikkuna kylpyhuoneeseen, joten kun vessaan sytyttää valon niin valaisee koko huoneen ja herättää seuralaisen. Aamiaisella ei saa espressoa tai capuccinoa edes maksamalla, vaikka kone heillä on, se ei vain ole päällä aamiaisella. Aivan typerää.

The staff , Heidi and Saverin, were outstanding. My reservation has not come through, and they worked tirelessly to make sure that it was retrieved and that I had a room on time My entire experience was excellent

Matala tyyny ?

Kokemuksemme oli kaikinpuolin myönteinen. Olin matkalla lapsenlapseni kanssa ja osallistuimme hänen toiveestaan toritapahtumaan. Siksi hotellin sijainti meille oli mitä mainioin. Majoituimme astmaatikolle sopivaan siistiin perushuoneeseen. Suomen kaikissa hotelleissa saisi olla varustuksena myös matala tyyny niiden joillekin sopivien super pulleiden lisäksi. Osaan itse kuitenkin nukkua ilman tyynyäkin, joten tuo ei haitannut mukavaa matkaamme.

Mukava ja heleppo yöpyminen

Erittäin mukava kokemus, opastus oli todella hyvä ja kaikki oli tehty helpoksi minulle.

Hyvä perustason huone

Hotellihan ei ollut aivan uusi, mutta huone silti aivan ok. Aamiainen normaali hyvä Sokos-standardi. Vuode ehkä aavistuksen pehmeä, mutta ei silti nukkumista haitannut.
Harry, 3-night trip

Perus hotl

Perushotelli. Eri erityistä. Hiljainen yöhuone yökerhosta huolimatta. Matkalla huoneesta aamiaiselle oli porras askelmia ja useampi avattava ennen hissiin pääsyä, joka liikunrajoitteiselle pieni haaste.
Sanna, 2-night trip

Hyvä keskustahotelli

Palvelu ystävällistä, huone iso, siisti ja toimiva. Ruokailumahdollisuudet hyvät. Hotelli hieman sokkeloinen. Hyvät pysäköintitilat

Varma valinta Joensuussa

Joensuun Vaakuna on vuosi toisensa jälkeen onnistunut joka kerta luomaan henkilökohtaisen, asiakaskeskeisen ja upean palvelukohtaamisen. Ystävällisiä ja rentoja tapaamisia. Huoneet ovat faceliftin saaneet, ravintolat ja tavaratalo samassa rakennuksessa, keskeinen sijainti ja hyvä sopimus viereisen kuntosalin kanssa.
Totti-Mikael, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Huoneen jääkaappi piti hyvin häiritsevää ääntä koko yön.
