Above the average

Since we went on a business trip, they came to the hotel only to spend the night. The room was large enough, we did not feel cramped. Loved the breakfasts, plentiful and hearty. The area where the hotel is located is quiet and calm.

Sokos Hotel Kimmel review

The Hotel was cold on a chilly Saturday afternoon and night. It was ok on Sunday.

The decor is a real time warp from the early 1970's, surprising really since the hotel was built much later than this.

The breakfast offering was wide and varied, as much as you can eat; some people really did their best to get an Olympic medal for bingeing.

The room did have odours of stale tobacco; not good for non smokers.

Overall it was an ok price for an ok place.

Be sure to stay in renovated rooms!

This is a very nice hotel located on the river in Joensuu. However, when you book economy rooms you may be located in the unrenovated rooms. They are ok, but the windows do not open and they are run down. The renovated rooms are very nice. I stay in this hotel for the wonderful sauna and small indoor pool as well as the quiet location on the river.

3 miestä + 3 moottoripyörää. Saimme 2hh jossa lapselle tarkoitettu lisäsänky. Vastaanotto ei osoittanut mitään sympatiaa vaikka sänky oli lyhyt aikuiselle miehelle: \"lisävuoteemne ovat tosiaan aika pieniä\"... Valitsimme Kimmelin, koska se oli hiukan Joensuun ydinkeskustan ulkopuolella ja oletimme, että siellä on moottoripyörille pysäköintitila. Suurena yllätyksenä Kimmelin edessä on suuri tyhjä kenttä, mutta siinä ei saanutkaan pysäköidä vaan pyörät oli vietävä VR:n pysäköintitaloon, maksu hotelliin ja jokainen pyörä oli pysäköitävä omaan ruutuunsa täydellä 14€ maksulla eli pysäköintimme maksoi 42€. 3 pyörää olisi hyvin mahtunut yhteen ruutuun. SOKOS HOTEL KIMMEL EI SOVI MOTORISTEILLE! Kaikkialla muualla n. 2000km ja 8 yön matkamme aikana saimme pyörämme veloituksetta parkkiin useassa muussa SOKOS-hlotellissa, mutta Kimmelissä hotellin johto on kuulemma linjannut asian näin. Hotellin sauna oli hyvä, mutta pukuhuoneessa ilmanvaihto oli toivottoman huono ja hikinen. Ylivoimaisesti huonoin hotellikokemus. Muut 7 hotelliyöpymistämme 4 tähden hotelleissa kotimaassa olivat täysin eri tasoa, esim Sokos Hotel Bomba oli loistava

Mukava työmatkayöpyminen

Hyvä huone, ystävällinen vastaanotto. Ravintolassa nautin herkullisen menun. Autolla saapuminen oli hieman hämmentävää, kun hotellin sisäänkäynnin edustalla ei ollut pysäköintimahdollisuutta (kaikki jättöpaikat olivat varattuja) ja ainoat muut pysäköintipaikat olivat inva-paikkoja tai busseille varattua tilaa. Sisään kirjautuessani kävi ilmi, että luonteva pysäköintiratkaisuni ei ollutkaan hotellin suosittelema.

Moderni huone runsaalla aamupalalla

Modernissa huoneessa oli kaikki perusmukavuudet. Kunnon erillinen kylpyhuone tiiviillä suihkukopilla ja laadukkaat Lumenen tuotteet, mukaan lukien shampoo JA hoitoaine suihkusaippuan ja käsisaippuan lisäksi olivat iloinen yllätys.
Sängyssä oli hyvä nukkua ja pimennysverhot pitivät aamuauringon loitolla.
Muiden hotellivieraiden melua kuului hieman käytävästä, mutta Ilosaarirockin aikaan ei kai muuta voi odottaakaan, joten korvatulppasuositus lomailijoille.

Aamupala oli erittäin runsas. Lötköt karjalanpiirakat eivät menneet toisella karjalaisella jatkoon, mutta muuten tarjonta oli laadukas.
Tällä hetkellä hotellin ympärillä on katuremontti menossa, mutta autojen pääsy hotellin eteen on varmistettu, eikä estä asemaltakaan kävelyä. Viikonloppuna haitta oli vain kosmeettinen, mutta viikolla on tämän kesän aikana hyvä ottaa mahdollinen työmaan melu huomioon.

Sitten siivoja oli töissä siellä kertoi että kylpylä avataan vasta klo 10, kyllä harmitti ku uimapuku märkänä palasin huoneeseeni.Ei tullut mieleeni kysyä että mihin aikaan kylpylä avataan. Muutoinkin 2 saunaa ja pari poreallasta sekä yksi kylmäallas on aika pieni kylpylä.

Hiljattain remontoitu tähän päivään, huoneet ja yleistilat siistit ja viihtyisät. Itse hotelli kokonaisuutena hinta-laatusuhteelta korkeintaan hyvä, ei kuitenkaan 160e arvoinen/yö/standardi huone. Hotellin yhteydessä oleva kylpylä pieni mutta mukava, tunnelmallinen ja käymisen arvoinen , mutta 20e sisäänpääsy myös majoittujilta kohtuuton hinta. Hotellin ravintolan ruoan puolesta suuri pettymys, perus ketjusapuskaa jossa mutkia oiotaan pahasti suoriksi, palvelu kuitenkin todella hyvää.

Minibaari jääkaapissa oli edellisen asukkaan juomat ja pohjalle tahmaksi sulaneet jäätelöpaketin jäännökset. Pyynnöstä huolimatta tätä ei kukaan siivonnut. Jäin miettimään, että olikohan siellä edes lakanoita vaihdettu, vai nukuinko edellisen asukkaan lakanoissa. Kimmelissä oli remontti menossa, poiraus ja hakkaaminen alkoivat kello 7 aamulla.
