Original Sokos Hotel Vaakuna Vaasa

This Hotel is very well located, central in Vaasa. Recommend getting room that face the town square. Room was nice and large, had messages roll in the room. Breakfast was great and Rosso restaurant was great. Sauna opens at 17;00, that was way to late for us to use.

This hotel is located next to the marketplace in the Rewell shopping center. After staying one night in the Central Hotel, this hotel felt much more modern. We booked a Junior Suite. There are four of them with different themes: Cloud, Forest, Bridge, and Christmas. Beforehand I emailed the hotel and asked for the Forest one. The decor was very unique and you really got the forest feeling in this spacious room which was previously probably two separate rooms because there were two identical bathrooms, both with showers. Maybe there could have been done more renovation to get one bigger bathroom with both a tub and shower. Breakfast was served on the 2nd floor at Venn restaurant. It was a little bit confusing breakfast for a first-timer. The food selection was quite good and fresher than we had at Central the previous morning. There is also a Rosso restaurant next to Venn and the whole combination was quite confusing. We had dinner at Rosso and when coming from the lift you will come first at Venn and have to go through this restaurant to get to Rosso. Ilves Tampere offers the same kind of restaurant hassle which we don't like. On the 9th floor, you will find the Sky Bar with great views over Vaasa.

Basic city hotel in the heart of Vaasa, short walk from train station. Checked in on Sunday evening, very quiet everywhere and the only restaurant closing at 9.30pm. Standard room itself was small, bed was too high and soft. Didn't really like the room. What i liked was the breakfast, it was a full buffet.

Great location, comfortable bed and pillows, nice shower. Location is super central, close to everything and amazing breakfast!. Best of all was the customer service from Heidi, she was so helpful and has made my 3 days stay extra special. Thank you Heidi for all the tips and help!

Restaurant Central did not unfortunately meet our requirements. The food was good but service poor. The personnel forgot too many things and did not know very much of the menu. It took too long to be served.

The location is the best among all hotels in Vaasa. The main shopping centre is in the same building. The main square and all the restaurants are also right around the hotel. I was given one of the refurbished rooms, which was clean, modern and overall one of the best rooms i have stayed in any hotel in Vaasa. The only negative thing in the room were the very cold floors. Pillows were kinda hard and felt like they were at the end of their life cycle too. The staff at the reception were extremely friendly! One of the friendliest receptions I have ever received in Finland. They gave me my room at 1.30 pm even though the check in time is at 3. Pm. I want to thank them for doing that without me even asking for it. The breakfast was alright, nothing special, but overall better than the breakfast at Scandic Vaasa for example. In case you are into fitnes, they have a gym and offer a free access to one of the best gyms in town which is 200m away from the hotel!

Location was good, the room was very very small though.

Good location and helpful staff at the reception. Gym is so-so but good enough to grab a quick workout while traveling - decent enough range of dumbells for a light workout.

Stayed one night for business. Friendly and good staff, nice gym and good breakfast.
