Original Sokos Hotel Vaakuna Kouvola

When thinking of the Sokos Hotels chain, this hotel is better than average. The hotel's location is very central and there is a spacious parking lot next to it, with reasonable pricing. The staff is really friendly. Hotel room was newly renovated and really cozy. Breakfast quality was good. I did find some cons too: At breakfast some breads (less popular choices?) were dry. There is a plastic mattress cover under the sheets, like in almost every Sokos hotel. They are awful and sweaty, and I always have to take it away and remake the bed. There are two pillows in the bed, a big and small one, but both are equally flat. There is a jacuzzi at the sauna area, which sounds wonderful. The reality is that the jacuzzi is really loud and it ruins the whole sauna relaxation. Also the iWall area is really noisy, it seems there might be a HVAC room or something closeby. All in all, I hate that children's /youth areas are often shoved to some distant and dark corner of the hotel. This wasn't much better, and it's hard to think that an adult would enjoy spending time there.
