The room was nicely appointed and decorated but very small. We were in an interior room with an en-suite. The room lacked any sort of ventilation except propping the room door open. It was hot and stuffy in the room but the hallways and shared spaces were a nice temperature. Seems to be a design flaw.

The staff were very nice but even the \"hotel\" rooms are hostel quality. Elevator under repair so stairs not optional. Rooms are very, very basic and very, very small. There is no sound proofing so noise from public areas reaches your room. Breakfast was very basic, very little choice, crowded and noisy. This \"hotel\" room was way overpriced. Would not stay again. This is a great hostel but if you are looking for a hotel, spend your money elsewhere. We did appreciate using the luggage room as arrival was before check in time and we were able to use it again after check out. The proximity to the Moomin Museum and to the train station is great.

Great if you like cleaning bathroom floors.

This hotel has a lot of plusses - great location, friendly service, comfortable bed. BUT there is one big reason I can't give it 5 stars -- the bathroom.
Maybe you enjoy cleaning the bathroom floor after every shower, then it won't be a problem for you. The bathroom is a \"wet bath\" without good drainage or ventilation. When you shower, the whole floor will be flooded with water and without ventilation (no windows, no fans) it will stay wet. The hotel provides a large squeegee so that you can clean it after your shower....but quite frankly, I don't want to clean the floor right after showering, especially not in a hotel. Without ventilation my towels also didn't dry between showers (24 hours time). So the bathroom is a big negative. The rest was really good.

Phenomenal location, walking distance from the train station and Nokia arena. Used the Hotel. The room was good for the price paid.

Sadly requested the room service but it didn't happen. The reception staff were friendly and educational, and taught us a few common phrases.

The bathroom had great water pressure and heat, and the wet room drainage was sufficient. Beds were soft and duvets were insulating.

Loved my stay in the hotel portion. The room was tiny, but under bed storage was plentiful, and there were lots of comfortable places to sit in the common areas. One star left off for facilities because the elevator does not go to every floor and I had to carry my heavy bag up and down the stairs. If you require the elevator make sure you inform them before your stay so they can put you on a floor with elevator service. The location is close to the train and bus stations, also close to the Nokia Arena, which is what I was in town for. Highly recommend for anyone on a budget, but also in general for anyone who wants a nice place to sleep during their visit to Tampere.

Well-functioning modern hostel in the city center

I stay at this hostel regularly on my family visits to Tampere and am always delighted with the excellent, friendly service, good beds, modern well-functioning common kitchen and, affordable pricing for a decent accommodation within a walking distance from any point of interest in the city centre. The only thing that could be improved at times is cleanliness, which is not always as good as it could be.

Rooms very small and cramped, especially twin rooms which had no windows. The double room was so small you could barely get down both sides of the bed! The weather was very hot and the air conditioning was useless. The heat was unbearable. We asked for a fan but none was provided.The towells provided were small and very thin. The lift did not service the second floor so we had to carry cases up the stairs. The hotel is not in the centre of Tampere and a bus/good walk takes you to the main street.
On the plus side, the beds were extremely comfortable and the rooms were very clean. continental breakfast was good.

Location was just a few minutes walk from train station. Tampere is very easy to navigate and everything is really within walking distance. Would definitely recommend as alternative to larger chain hotels.

average - staff needs to be trained

nice stay, but staff needs to be trained in dealing with frequent travelers. price service level/room quality did not match up in comparing hotel prices and hotels attached to hostels. don't expect any special wishes to be fulfilled - all seems to be according a rule-book, and exceptions are not acceptable. It's possible to find a real hotel in tampere for the same price. but please, improve the service for frequent travelers, which pay hotel prices!

Trendy, clean and relaxing

This is probably the best hostel I've stayed at so far. I stayed in an ensuite room on their \"hotel\" floor. They did a great job adopting a space that seems like an office building to have rooms. My room (scandinavian design) was like a pod in the middle corridor of the space so unfortunately did not have a window but right outside of it there was a nice hanging chair next to the heater and a view outside so no window in the room itself wasn't a biggie. The kitchen area right next to it was also really cosy and clean. I generally don't spend time in common areas but since it was really quiet during the time I was there that's where I spent most my time. There's only 1 small induction plate stove so this could be tough if a lot of people wanted to cook but this was not the case this time. Other than that the kitchen is very well equipped and even has free tea and coffee!
The room had a hair dryer and a small (good) selection of books you could read.
By the lobby there's also a small library and board game cabinet.
The included breakfast buffet was not huge but had the essentials (bread, cheese, yoghurt and toppings, juices, tea and coffee). Maybe some fruit would've been a nice addition, especially for those with diet restrictions (I might have missed this though as I wasn't looking for fruit during breakfast lol).
Staff was all really nice and they even offered free coffee to someone that had just arrived and was waiting for check-in time. In sum, loved my stay :)

Hostel is okay, the hotel great

We stayed for one night with a friend in a hostel room for two. The room was tidy as were the showers. The bed is not very comfortable and the pillow was a borderline joke so I wouldn't recommend this for a long term stay. Earlier I stayed at the hotel part of Dream Hostel and it was marvellous. Our room was opposite of reception and the walls were thin so you could hear everything in your room. With this price we would have appreciated if we didn't have to put the sheets on ourselves. The area is tidy, perfect for events in Tampere Hall or Pakkahuone. With some new pillows and mattresses this would be even better.

Huone hotellin puolella oli siisti, mutta hyvin pieni, yhden yön yöpymiseen kuitenkin sopiva ja rauhallinen. Ulkopuolelta ei kantautunut ääniä. Keittiön puolella voitiin seurustella muiden porukkaan kuuluvien kanssa. Henkilökunta oli erittäin mukavaa, rentoa ja auttoi kaikissa asioissa. Autolle löytyi kohtuuhintainen parkkipaikka sisäpihalla etukäteisvarauksella. Sijainti on hyvä, aivan Tampere-talon lähellä ja rautatieasemallekin on vain lyhyt kävelymatka. Aamiainen oli riittävä. Mistä en pitänyt: tuli runsaasti sähköpostia varauksesta, ilmeisesti ketjun tyyli. Niissä muun muassa vahvasti kehotettiin tekemään sisään kirjautuminen etukäteen netissä, vaikka se onnistui hyvin paikan päälläkin henkilökunnan kanssa. Ensisijainen kieli sähköposteissa on englanti, suomeksi kääntäjä ei ehkä osunut ihan oikeaan.

Tulin omasta illan vietostani \"himaan nukkumaan\" ja joku pummi oli ottanut sänkyni ja siirtänyt kamani sivuun. Keskustelun jälkeen otin toisen paikan ja en oikein saanut unta ko. henkilön moottorisahakuorsuksen takia. Päätin ottaa klo 6 junan himaan Helsinkiin kun koin sen helpommaksi kuin nukkua aamuun.
