Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Hotel's Favourite
Just across from the railway station, you can't get much more central than this. The room was comfy, everything clean, and breakfast really great. You maybe get some traffic noise, being so close to the station, and I think the prices are a tiny bit inflated in Tampere in general, but overall a very good stay.

Good location . Very good breakfast especially if you need dietary 👌. The only thing is that on weekends breakfast starts to late . They couldn't let 4 person that need to go to a competition, a half hour earlier to start breakfast...very sadly. We have been offered bags but how cool is that to eat breakfast in the car on the way to competition 😳. I mean ,I've just asking for a half an hour and the email was sent for 1 week in advance.... Very disappointed about this cause breakfast is very important in an athlete life !

80 meters from the railway station and 500 meters from the Nokia Arena, the location could not be better. Room was clean and nice, beds were good, breakfast was good even though a little busy. No complaints!

One night stay, car park was near. Reception and overall feel of the hotel was clean but maybe a bit outdated. Room was good size and quite clean. Breakfast was good with plenty to choose from. Checkout was easy. Definitely will consider for a new stay.

Hello, thank you for visiting our hotel and leaving this review. It is nice to hear you have enjoyed your stay here in Tampere and liked our hotel. We always love knowing that our guests have liked our breakfast! Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and we like to offer a big variety of healthy options for each and every one. I hope you tried our local delicacy 'mustamakkara' which is mostly known only here in Tampere. We surely hope you choose our hotel also for your upcoming visits! Best regard, Veera / Reception

First of all we got our rooms after waiting in a queue almost one hour. Why didn't they start giving the rooms so fast those became ready. TV-set was out of order. The corridors were not very clean. I used to have got much better feelings in your hotels. I hope you will succeed better next time if I'have booked Scandic Tampere City for my next visiting in Tampere. This time it was honestly not good.

Dear RGM500, thank you for your visit and this review. We apologize for the wait with the room. Sometimes if the hotel is fully booked, we get a little queue especially around 3pm when the check-in starts. We always start giving out rooms as soon as we can but we have to stay equal to all of our guests and work together with the housekeeping. Therefore on some days it is unfortunately not possible to start the check-in the before the actual check-in time, which is also stated in the booking terms and conditions. We also apologize for the television not working. We were facing some technical difficulties and all the televisions in the hotel were down. We have been able to fix this issue now. I have also forwarded your feedback regarding the hotel's cleanliness to our housekeeping. This is not up to our standards and we take all the feedback very seriously. We hope that despite of these inconveniences you were still able to get a good nights sleep and enjoyed your time here in Tampere. We also hope to see you again soon! Best regards, Veera / Recepion

Our family of three stayed at Scandic Tampere City for two nights over a weekend. We had booked a superior room and asked for one with a king size bed (as the toddler sleeps between us) and a bathtub, and the reception had already confirmed by email that our wish was granted. In addition, in my Scandic Friends profile I have opted for the "far away from the elevators", as especially when travelling with a small kid it would be nice to have a room from a quieter location. The room we got was practically in the lift lobby and had twin beds placed next to each other, so I went back to the reception to ask if there was a chance to switch to a room with a king bed instead. The receptionist was very kind and understanding, and gave us another room which wasn't much further away from the elevators, but otherwise filled our wishes. Apparently this room time was not available further away from the elevators, but luckily this time we did not suffer from loud passersby. Our room was spacious, comfy and clean and we found everything we needed there, but unfortunately the tiny mold spots in the bathroom were a bit disturbing. The breakfast was of the average level of Finnish hotels, so multiple options to choose from and all the traditional meatballs, sausages, scrambled eggs, carelian pies, cold cuts etc. were offered, not to mention the Tampere specialty, Finnish black pudding. Coffee was very good, and I appreciated the opportunity to use the ceramic mugs for take away coffee to the room, good initiative! Just outside the breakfast room there was a small kids corner, but frankly this should have been inside the restaurant for it to serve its purpose better, i.e. keep the kids entertained while the parents enjoy their breakfast a bit longer. Scandic Tampere City is very centrally located, which is definitely a big plus. The hotel garage was full upon our arrival so we used the nearby Finnpark instead. Although from there one had to cross the road to reach the hotel instead of just taking an elevator, we found this option convenient. It might be more challenging to a person travelling with a lot of luggage and/or to someone travelling with kids without the help of other adults, so maybe the hotel could consider reserving some of the spots to families with children to make it easier and more attractive to them.

Hello, thank you for staying with us and this extensive review! First of all, my apologies for the mistake with your room in the beginning and I am very happy to hear that this was fixed right away. Of course, it should have been right from the start. Our king beds with bathtubs are located right next to the elevator, so unfortunately this wish could not be fulfilled. We are happy to hear that the breakfast was to your liking and also the location served you well. We will also consider the playground's location once we are renewing the premises! We hope to see you again with us here and wish you happy spring time! Kind regards, Tiina Reception
