The hotel is around a 30-minute walk to the city centre, but there are buses that can drop you off near the hotel (only a 5-minute walk to the nearest bus stop). It's in a slightly unusual location on a kind of industrial estate, but it's quiet and feels safe as you walk around. The keycode system is a little odd - we didn't know if the code for our room would also work to get in to the main building; sometimes it seemed to work, and other times it didn't. This can be quite stressful as the reception desk isn't manned 24 hours a day, so when it didn't work for us late one evening, we panicked a bit. There's no lift, so this isn't a great place for the less mobile or those with heavy bags. I would also have preferred to have a kettle in the room, so you could make hot drinks whenever you wanted without having to walk downstairs. The rooms also aren't very soundproof. The room itself was fairly basic, but the bed was comfortable, though only had one pillow per person. Overall, it's fine for a short stay, especially if you're just looking for a place to rest your head while visiting Tampere for an event. To me, it seemed more like a 2* hotel than 3*.
