Original Sokos Hotel Lappee ★★★★

The new rooms!

The old rooms

Room was comfortable and the staff were great too

Nothing really the Hotel and our stay were to our expectation.

Location.

There was no tidy up during our stay.

Location and the second room I had

First room I got was very poor. Was not price per value. The second was much better.

Perfect position, clean, good breakfast

In this price range you would expect some freebies like water or toothbrush. Room was small.

Clean room with comfortable environment. Excellent breakfast and best location.

Prices are a bit higher

Location, Shopping

beds. upper fat mattress is too soft. can be removed by yourself.

The hotel is located at the center of a medium-sized shopping mall. There are several adjacent cafeterias and a bar, in case you do not like your breakfast coffee. There is a 2-level parking area for the car, which costs reasonable EUR 10 for 24h, so you can come in the evening, park, sleep, check out and go shopping till evening, and your parking is still valid. I've seen many local people check in at noon, apparently traveling to the airport. So my guess would be this is what Finnish people typically expect from the hotel. The room was very quiet (windows facing inner roofed area), no noise from the mall or outside. No bathrobes or slippers, but the toilet paper is superb and worth mentioning. Also they give you a kettle in the room, and there is a micro in the hall, so actually you can as for a plate and warm up your supper. Those large cacao bags near the kettle were pleasant, too. There is a Bitcoin ATM in the mall in the kids' store, and several chargers for the electric vehicles in the parking, some of them still idle when everything else was tightly packed.

Prior to arrival the room temperature was set to 15 degrees, which many people would love, but that was an unpleasant surprise for me, since I like the warmer temperatures. There is no heating in summer, and you can not switch the AC to warm the room up. I think next time I come I ask to the reception to switch the AC off. Since they were there to confirm my late arrival request, I'm sure they can handle this request with ease, too. Previously I have stayed with the major US hotel brand in Helsinki, and they have a multy-taste coffee capsule machine in the breakfast area. Here they have the regular kettle arrangement, and in turned out, that during my stay the coffee was of poor taste. Hence my impression of otherwise decent and manifold breakfast was sort of dented. Maybe this is the way the Finnish people love their coffee, and I'm just an outsider with my spoiled American ways. The parking is sort of crowded, you can find a space, but your car better be on the smaller side, because you have to maneuver between the supporting beams. I think this is usual for the Europeans, they have small cars and plastic railings on the doors to open them safely, unlike the US brands.

Excellent location, friendly staff, good breakfast

Little costly, wifi range was not so good in the room

location good. nice sauna and pool.

Rooms are so simple and läno style at all...

Great buffet Breakfast

Nice location, staff were great! Room clean and comfy

Quality and presentation of breakfast items was in some cases not optimal and obviously put in a hurry. No cups for eggs available, cooked egg was not really warm.
