Top Kuopio Hotel Reviews
Lapland Hotels Kuopio
"Absolutely the best breakfast buffet ever. So many great and delicious items. Also enjoyed an excellent dinner in the evening."
Scandic Atlas
"This hotel has a fantastic location right by the open marketplace in downtown Kuopio. I had a great comfortable Queen Plus room with an ensuite infra-red sauna in the bathroom, which was great to try after a long day out and about. Direct access to a great department store right from the lobby! Very friendly staff."
Apartment Tähtitahko
"The apartment was pretty clean, though microwave oven was smelly. Didn’t get answers to questions I asked TähtiTahko. Didn’t like the instruction sign on dryer which was written in Finnish and Russian. Russian is not Finland’s official language, Sweden is. And the Tahko brochyre was in Russian, didn’t like that. Otherwise it was nice apartment."
