We returned from Oulu by train and split the long journey by making stops in Kokkola and Tampere. This hotel has a 10-minute walk from Kokkola railway station.

The hotel is not the prettiest architectural building in Kokkola but the interior has been revamped with interesting details in the decor.

Originally, we booked a SuperiorX room which has a very special decor: the sea-themed Tankar or the old-town-themed Neristan. 

On arrival morning, I discovered that Junior Suite is with a price of 177 euros just 25 euros more than our original booking and I changed our reservation for it.

This hotel has two Junior Suites. They both have a sauna and a jacuzzi. We got the one which has a separate small living room and a small bedroom. The other one has a somewhat more open floor plan and an electric fireplace.

The breakfast was one of the best we have had at any Sokos hotel. The buffet is beautifully placed in a room with striking old decor. The food selection was wide. 

The staff was very friendly at the breakfast and at the reception.

Enjoyable suite stay

Warmly recommended as a well placed, well maintained, well fitted hotel, in the center of Kokkola . Good restaurant and good service .  The rooms design is specific for northern Europe but functional and neat. without excesses, everything is in good condition and clean, so you do not feel you are away and willing to go back home asap because you hate returning to the hotel in the evening . Staff is very kind and smiling all the time, in both hotel and restaurant . Breakfast is really very good and a good choice of meals for lunch and dinner . One of the best mexican food I eat , served with good beer and good local gin .

nice people nice services nice place

The hotel met all my needs for the short business trip. It was very clean, tidy with excellent amenities but most of all, very friendly and attentive.
I will definitely be using again as well as recommending to my friends and colleagues.

Business Trip

Hotel Kaarle is place to stay if you like hotel you where you get feeling that whole place is just for you. Hotel staff threat you so kindly and they listen you without any rush. Rooms are clean and nice. Food is excellent and one of the best things is breakfast. There are very tasty local specialities and all food is served in very special style. I have stayed there twice and will stay there when ever I need to go to Kokkola or it’s neighborhood.

One of the best hotels in Finland

Very nice, clean and stylish. 
Warm and big enough rooms, mine was with balcony. 
Located in the center of Kokkola.
Early breakfast is prepared upon request. 
Has one the most popular restaurant, called Amarillo.

Excellent

CENTRAL LOCATION, CLOSE TO "NERISTAN", THE CHARMING WOODEN OLD TOWN OF KOKKOLA.  A MOST WELCOMING, POLITE AND HELPFUL STAFF, A QUIET AND COMFORTABLE ROOM (SEE THE ATTACHED PICTURE) WITH EXCELLENT BEDS. WE EVEN ENJOYED A  TASTY MEAL IN THEIR LIVELY TEXMEX RESTAURANT, DECORATED IN THE HALLOWEEN SPIRIT.

A MOST PLEASANT STAY.

The hotel was a big establishment which (together with the fact that it is part of a large hotel chain in Finland) lowered our expectations. The scale did not bring anything bad with it though - except for that perhaps the breakfast could have been a bit less "lively". Having criticized the atmosphere of the breakfast, I must admit that the food was good with plenty of local specialties and products.

The room was comfortable and nice enough. The only negative remark is that the cleaning of the bath room could have been a bit better - it looked at first like that the tiles on the floor were a bit worn, but in fact there was just some "concentrated" dirt that the daily cleaning had not been able to dispose of (it had clearly been accumulating over a longer period of time) .

The location at the very center of Kokkola was just perfect and they have also plenty of parking spaces (free of charge).

Perhaps the very best thing was the easygoing friendliness of the staff!:

much better than we expected

We have visited Kaarle after our review visit in 2016 a couple of times - so there is not much new to comment - the biggest visible change were perhaps hand sanitizer bottles here and there.

Our superior twin room was spacious, clean and offered everything normal, which you could wish for. Breakfast was quite normal. Service was good and gents´s sauna department was nice. The hotel itself is situated close to the centre and offers numerous free parking places in the yard.

One important factor for our visit was that, compared to the quality of the room and provided services, the price was quite acceptable.

A good medium-priced hotel

This was a kind of wired trip, not so much people stay at the hotel, restaurant was closed, city was empty and so on.
But this really was needed to get out on the road.
Hotel room was suite and it was good, and it did delivered this little special feeling you expect from suite. Very cool dark sauna, Jacuzzi  in big bathroom. Toilet in separate space. Living area with sofa big flat TV, gas fire place and Hästens double bed and i did expected more vow effect from 6000€ bed!
Never the less it was totally worth spending some extra euros.
Staff really welcoming, everything was fine, i might return there some day!

First trip since covid break loose

Quite nicely renovated hotel and good location in middle of the city. The breakfast is outstanding with many options for different diets, local products (from fish to yoghurt) and great service. Would recommend the hotel to everyone!
