Original Sokos Hotel Villa

Sokos hotel villa is located next to Tampere railwaystation. This 6-floor hotel is quite modern, it has been built on an old grain warehouse. Service was nice again, breakfast ok, but served in another building. Spacious room, this time for solo traveller. I stayed in room on the 6th floor, There were very little window which not possible totally cover with venetian blind.

The hotel is at the "wrong side" of the now ongoing (summer 2025) train track work. Even w/o said construction, the walking distance from the hotel to the parks / central / lakeside is somewhat long, especially compared to rivals like Sokos Ilves, Scandic Koskipuisto or Radisson Blue Grand. The hotel itself was very clean and cozy but lacks any kind of in-house restaurant or wine bar. All this can be found 100m away at the "Sokos Torni" -side of the complex. Even the breakfast is at the Sokos Torni side. Also the reception / lobby area is rather small -＞ there's build up queuing rather easily. Parking is plenty but spots are small and there's only few (4) EV charging spots, which is a letdown. We drove our vehicles 400m away to the "City Parking P-Hämppi" where is like 50+ EV chargers easily available and parking spots are large. We had the Junior Suite, room was clean and really nice - the mattres was exceptional (not too soft, not too hard for me, 75kg / 165lbs guy, but the pillows were bad. The normal was too hard and kind of bumpy and the alternative pillow was kind of sofa pillow?! This was a big letdown. Staff was really friendly and the breakfast (at the Hotel Torni side) was 5/5!

The hotel's prime central location, adjacent to the railway station and the shopping mall, ensures convenience for travellers. The standout feature is its rich historical ambiance, reflected in the unique room designs. The service was exceptional, warm and friendly. The highlight of the morning was the delicious breakfast served at the neighbouring Torni hotel. Overall, Hotel Villa offers a memorable experience combining convenience, historical charm and attentive service. Many thanks!

Nice, cosy, small hotel. Individual, because it is old factorybuilding. Rooms are small, but cosy and clean. Situation is good, but there are little difficulties to find the hotel building, because it is behind the other bigger hotelbuilding.

I like very much my visit around Tampere. One remarkable reason for that was the perfekti stay at original sokos hotel villa. This was first time and I really enjoyed. Fiendly staff, exelent breakfadt and very nice room in this responsible hotel. A peaceful place I liked so much. And there is a beautifu Sorsapuisto park very close to hotel Villa

Very nice, clean and quiet Very good beds and a clean, beautiful, roomy shower. But lighting in the bathroom was so dim and only comes from underneath the mirror, that doing my very simple make-up of blush, mascara and powder, was hard. There is a make-up mirror with light, but it's very high and the light is useless. For a romantic getaway with my spouse this hotel was very nice, clean and quiet. The only downside was that walking to have the bigger breakfast in the nearby Torni Hotel was so simple for the staff that they didn't tell us in enough detail how to get there. We just had to start walking and guessing our way. The breakfast was very good when we finally found it.
