Reviews for Original Sokos Hotel Tapiola Garden Espoo
Review 1:Was a little disappointed with restaurant. Reserved table for 8.30, arrived at 8.25 and told to wait by the bar. Ended up asking about my table at 9pm only to be told I could have just sat down. Not given any water at the table unlike everyone else in the restaurant. Food however was excellent.
Review 2:Lovely view of the lake at the back of the hotel. Shopping malls nearby. Only 20 minutes from Airport. Will definitely book again on next trip to Helsinki
Review 3:We were a group of friends having a girls night out and this hotel suited our needs perfectly. Gym, pool and sauna were all great. Staff was absolutely amazing and friendly. Location of the hotel was great, very easy to get to the Helsinki nightlife. Also plenty of restaurants nearby.
Review 4:As a regular visitor, restaurant is very overpriced, a menu that has a cheaper option that changes everyday (todays special)would be nice for people who stays there regularly. Otherwise good, personal in restaurants very nice.
Review 5:Hotelrooms are very nice, hotel overall nice
Review 6:Long queque to take breakfast, little space for taking food for so many people. Not very comfortable opening hours for evening sauna.
Review 7:Good location, in the park, you can hear birds' singing from your balcony. Shopping centre just 50 m from the hotel. Friendly staff. Good bus connection with the centre of the city.
Review 8:- noise of air condition during the night I asked by booking for a room without any noise because of my soft sleep and getting a room with mor than 50dB (measured by IPhone) - not towels in Sauna area. You have to take fro. Your room
Review 9:- Clean room (exception the table next to my bed) - Sauna o.k. (But not a wellness temple) - welcome - location
Review 10:In the morning it took the staff a long time to remove used dishes fom the tables and even more time to clean the tables and to remove wast.
Review 11:The room was well equipped and clean.
Review 12:The location of the hotel is fine, with good bus connections to other parts of Espoo and Helsinki. Woods for walking are also nearby. Some room face the artifical lake in back of the hotel, and the view is excellent - very relaxing. There's still a lot of constructionb going on in front of the hotel, so the vie there is not interesting at all. The rooms are good, with plenty of space for luggage and work. Hotel staff was helpful and friendly.

Review 40:Nice surroundings, helpful staff, good Bus connections to Helsinki
Review 41:Parking (as ever in Finland...) very expensive (EUR 17/overnight)
Review 42:we wrote we would take a 5-month baby with us, then we found a baby bed in the room, and a baby toilet in the bath room...
Review 43:I would like bigger room
Review 44:Very quiet and very nice place
Review 45:The restaurant closed one hour earlier than it advertised. We asked the reception staff if there was another place nearby, where we could get food. They didn't know and didn't want to help us. They just said we should order pizza, but didn't even specify where we could get it. We were traveling with a dog, and it said in the website, we would get a bag with some chews and other pet stuff. We never got it. The breakfast wasn't any good.
Review 46:Nice room with a balcony and good view.
Review 47:Excellent, accomodating and very friendly customer service, made huge difference to our stay in the hotel. Room was delightful, very clean and had very nice smell to it. Breakfast was versatile feast, literally made my day. We very much enjoyed our stay and definetely plan to stay in Sokos Hotel also in the future!
Review 48:- people smoking - smoke delays in the Room - staff does not know Russian language - a few words are enough to welcome - terrible omelette for breakfast
Review 49:- Comfort Room - cleanliness - hotel interior
Review 50:The hotel is extremely noisy. Currently a metro is drilled below thehotel which provides you an earthquake experience till about midnight.At 7am the construction of iceskating facility is started which isvery loud and makes it impossible to sleep. Apart from that thecurtains do not completely close which is very unfortunate during thesummer in Finland.
Review 51:The food, breakfast and dinner, was good
Review 52:1. There is a construction site in front of the hotel. 2. Parking lot fee is 30 euros a day, not just 19 euros as it was promised in the hotel info. 3. We booked, as it was called, 'standard room for 3 persons'. Actually it turned out 'standard double bed room' with two separate beds and two sets of towels. When asked about standard triple bed room for accommodating 3 persons, ingenious finns introduced extra bed to our standard double bed room. We had to swallow this. 4. The diner is called 'Seville' for a cling to spanish cuisine. Ordered starters and a meat skewer. Waited for 1,5 hours just to get starters, then cancelled them, and ten minutes later got our skewer. The meat was cold. At the end they brought as a cheque with the starters we had cancelled included. Service is outstanding
Review 53:Nothing really. Standard scandinavian 3-stars hotel like many many others
Review 54:1) There was a huge construction site next to the hotel. Due to that, arrival to the hotel was slightly complicated, there were no signs either. But this should be over by July 2013, if I understood correct.2) Parking is a serious problem in this hotel, like in whole Tapiola. Overnight in the nearby parking hall is 33 euros, although the hotel has a special price 17 euros. But on a suburb it is a rip off, especially when you basically need the car when staying this far from restaurants. 3) Limited selection of restaurants (and shops) around. The restaurant in the hotel is a chain-operation, two other decent options are a turkish and a japanese 5 min walk away. The shopping center is an ugly 1970's Sovjet style concrete complex in bad shape. Not recommended. 4) I also experienced the first fire alarm during my stays (100+ a year) in hotels. The recorded message was clear and informative, but no one bothered to announce when the situation was over. The tape was just turned off and you had to guess it. Extremely unprofessional.
Review 55:Tapiola Garden is clean, quiet and modern hotel at Tapiola Espoo, whichis a quiet suburb 10 kms from downtown Helsinki.
Review 56:The building site in front (for the next year or so) makes it difficult to access
Review 57:The hotel looks elegant and has a nice feel to it. Staff friendly and flexible.
Review 58:This is such a small thing but it would be amazing to have a screen or curtain to separate off the cot. This would help the baby sleep. This would be going way beyond expectations though.
Review 59:The staff could not have been more helpful. They extended our check out with no difficulty and they helped us find a taxi with a baby seat.
Review 60:Some staff in restaurant need more customer focused attitude (particularly on Sunday nights when hotel is not so busy).
Review 61:Clean, spacious room. Breakfast great. Receptionist called Hanna very helpful.
Review 62:Sauna was not always available due to being used for some private event. Not a lot of parking space available due to construction site nearby, risk of having car evacuated on a limited time parking nearby.
Review 63:Friendly and professional staff, perfect breakfast. If traveling on car, all the interesting places of Helsinki are 10 minutes away, even on friday evening.
Review 64:Surroundig of Sokos Hotel is changing. My window was directed on the building works on the other side of sidewalk and It was a little annoying. It's sad that this hotel will be a part of shopping/office center of Tapiola in near future.
Review 65:Location and price were my two main reasons for selecting Sokos Hotel in Tapiola Garden. Hotel is reasonably close to both university campus and small shopping centre in Tapiola Garden. Rather calm surronding, green area, comfortable rooms.
Review 66:sauna open time is limited number of TV channels is small
Review 67:small lake in front of hotel room
