Holiday Inn Tampere - Central Station, an IHG Hotel

Firstly, the anniversary gift and nite was really kind! Loved the friendliness and helpfulness from staff from day one. Breakfast was great. Nice spread of local cuisines. The view of the train station and part of the city was great. Very modern. I like the decor in the lounge area. We had lots of breaks there or met up with family friends.

Excellent location in the heart of the Tampere, just next to railway station and all key locations. We got views to the railway platforms, but not noise! I was surprised how quiet it was. Area is clean and safe. Rooms are quite normal hotel rooms, nothing special, but nothing you can fault.

I don’t usually have breakfast, so also this time I didn’t have it included in my room rate. Nevertheless, I had breakfast almost every day of my stay ( I paid for it, of course!), because the selection was SO GOOD! I especially loved the pancakes, the fried eggs and the lingonberry juice. Having a teakettle and teas/coffees in the room was handy, as well as an iron and an ironing board. The bed was very comfortable, I slept like on a cloud! The location is very convenient- between the railway station and city centre

Perfect location, bed very comfortable and great soundproofing of the room. Staff very friendly and helpful with any question or request I had. Fairly good selection of warm options for breakfast (including Tampere speciality mustamakkara!), and also a section of gluten free and vegan groceries. The only pity is the lack of real espresso coffee - only americano style available. I also liked the fact that the room got cleaned upon request, and not automatically every single day, protecting thus the environment.

Location was great, everything in the city center could be found nearby. The room was quiet.
