Scandic Kouvola, Kouvola

This is a well-run hotel in downtown Kouvola, quite near the important railroad station {Kouvola is a major junction in Finland's efficient rail system). It's also close to a pedestrian mall, shopping (a large Sokos department store is across the street), restaurants, and bars. Our hotel room was spotlessly clean. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom was very well lit and usable, with an excellent shower with sliding doors that prevented any water from spilling on the floor (a problem at many Finnish hotels). The staff members we met were uniformly friendly and helpful. Our room included breakfast in the hotel's large dining room, and the food was excellent, with a nice selection of standard and Finnish items. We would definitely stay at this hotel again when we visit Kouvola.

A very comfortable room, nice breakfast and fast service! A bit of a walk with luggage, but the tram is of course always an option.

Only a short stay, but little things happen that confirm that there are good people around. Won't go into the long story but Anni and Marita are fantastic. I will not hesitate to stay here again. Many Thanks.
