Joensuu, North Karelia hotel rooms at the Independent

"Great hotel, clean and comfy."

"Hotellin ulkoinen näkyminen täysin piilossa, oli vaikeaa löytää sisäänpääsyovi. Helppo pääsy sisälle ovikoodein. Hyvä kuuluvuus naapurihuoneista, illalla myöhään kolketta ja kovaa ovien pauketta keskellä yötä ja aamulla sikaisin. Huoneessa parfyyminhajua ja tunkkaisuutta, kokolattiamatto huono asia kun ilmastointi puuttuu."

"The best you can expect. Perfectly located Staff helpful and friendly"

"Rooms are ok, but the breakfast probably the worst we've seen ever. Miserable."

"The location was superb. The staff were very friendly and helpful. "

"Great atmosphere, and very friendly staff. Basic hostel like service, but clean and tidy. If you like hotels/hostels with personality, this is for you!"

"This is the first time that I have stayed here. It is a lovely hotel and is only a ten minute walk to the centre. The choices at breakfast are really good. There is no kettle in the room but there is one in the communal lounge area where there is also a microwave. There is an ABC garage across the road and it has a cafe and a small supermarket the cakes here are amazing. In the centre there is the tourist information centre, two supermarkets (S Market and K Market) and there is also a Marimekko...

"What I expected given the price. Clean and neat, small room. Well located for shops and restaurants, but it was not clear where I should park. It would help to have a small table as the only working surface was the top of the fridge."
