Reviews for Hotel Homeland
Review 1：-15 outside and the room was a bit chilly. Wi-Fi worked badly or not at all
Review 2：Excellent location, good value for money, could consider long-time stay due the kitchenette in the room.
Review 3：Wifi tripped a bit from time to time but nothing too serious and one occasion the problem that clearly that of the ISP not the hotel. I'd probably bring an ethernet cable with me next time though.
Review 4：The staff were lovely and friendly. Location in Tammela was excellent for my purposes.
Review 5：Wi-fi signal was too weak to use laptop without a cable & a number of applications on my iPhone. The mattress was so soft that it gave me a backache.
Review 6：Friendliness and helpfullness of staff, easy access to TAMK where I worked for a week as guest lecturer. Shops and public transport within walking distance.
Review 7：It was dirty, apartment 2 small, no kettle in room, bed not made on ant day, very rundown and disappointing, looks better on the website. Way 2 overpriced for what you receive
Review 8：Nothing, apart from location
Review 9：Wi-Fi didn't work. Fortunately I could plug the internet with a cable, but cable is too short to move notebook somewhere else from the table. Parking place charge seems to bee too high - 10 Eur per night. You could easily find free public parkings close to the Hotel.
Review 10：Nice place to stay for few nights if you like home comfort.
Review 11：Wi-Fi does not work, although router is in every room. We needed to go out. Room number 3: furniture without handles, the door to the bathroom closed with great difficulty.
Review 12：Convenient location near KMART and many other shops and markets. Spacious room, full kitchen appliances + d + agent / wash. Breakfast is more continental. The staff - one person at the reception and the kitchen. For the same money I would have picked something else next time.
Review 13：The day bed cover had blood stains on the reverse side. Overall the materials and surfaces were rundown. I found some yellow feathers under the bed... The first floor smelled like it had sewage problems. Soundproofing was quite poor, we had to sleep with earplugs. You could clearly hear the steps while people were walking in the staircase (room number 9, 2nd floor). The bed was poor quality, too soft and threw us on the middle in the pothole.
Review 14：Location near the Tammela market square was good. Breakfast was ok, selection was quite wide. Coffee was undrinkable.
Review 15：Very nice and cozy place - stayed in a studio with kichenette. Nice neighborhood, 15 min walk from downtown, but also a lot of local hangouts and Tammela market square in next block. Definately worth the price.
Review 16：Nothing. A good place for a good price.
Review 17：The room was good for the price, everything fine. There was a kitchenette, but I didn't use it. Wifi was weak, but they have a wired connection that worked fine. Breakfast was fine as well.
Review 18：weak signal strength of wifi. I thought I have booked a bookable sauna which I didn't use while staying there.
Review 19：nice kitchen and comfortable bedroom
Review 20：nothing actually; just to know there's no need to pay for the hotel parking area (it's possible to park in the streets nearby), and you don't find someone at the reception at all time
Review 21：a fully furnished kitchen plenty of space in the room, with a table and chairs a very pleasant and abundant breakfast friendly people at the reception
Review 22：Not very new corridors, but good cleaning carried out.
Review 23：Price quality ratio is excellent, good facilities. Also, very near to supermarket facility. Perfect. Very tasty breakfast.
Review 24：The bathroom is very small, hard to have shower. The bed is not comfortable. There is no lift in the hotel.
Review 25：Staffs are very friendly and helpful.The hotel is in a silent district, all kitchen utensils are available in the room.
Review 26：no, except the wireless wif signal
Review 27：the location, equipment, breakfest and everythig is good, except the wireless wifi signal (it seems does not work sometimes), but the cable internet connection can be used in the rooms
Review 28：There was one curtain missing in the window next to the kitchenette, so light came through early in the morning. Bathroom had no ventilation.
Review 29：Instruction were left for us to collect the keys as we arrived late in the evening and no staff were there. Apartment was quite big.
Review 30：Isolated. Unwelcoming. No one at reception on arrival, no phone nor wifi. Stench at entrance and in reception area. No soap. Unable to walk at side of bed or place belongings on a bedside shelf, such as glasses, book, apnoea machine.
Review 31：Needs to be cleaned and modernised.
Review 32：Location is fine but parking costs you 15 euro. In the street behind its free parking
Review 33：Shower room has after shower overflooded, wrong floor angle
Review 34：Very good double size bed, big room

Review 49：Not really a central location, no 24h reception service, small bathroom and an uncomfortable shower
Review 50：Nice staff, good breakfast, clean
Review 51：Rooms, especially bathrooms are worn out and apparently there's not enough staff in the hotel. Charging money for parking in hotels yard is irritating, especially because there's lots of free road-side parking space around the block. So don't spend your money for nothing.
Review 52：Our family often visits this hotel because it's a cosy home-like place right in the middle of the district we want to stay in Tampere. Staff is nice and breakfast is ok. Nothing fancy but good value for money.
Review 53：Wi-Fi wasn't working, but Ethernet cable was available.
Review 54：Comfortable, and affordable compared to other nearby hotels. Good breakfast, good location.
Review 55：Nothing really
Review 56：Staff were friendly and helpful. Allowed us to leave our luggage for a few hours when we checked out. Breakfast was plentiful and there was a lot of choice.Ideal really and good value for money. Room was roomy with good cooking facilities and plenty of cutlery etc. Couldn't fault it for the money and would recommend Hotel Homeland to anybody
Review 57：Останавливаемся в этом отеле очень часто, почти каждый месяц. Фактически, у вас своя квартира-студия, с кухней и бытовой техникой. Отель находится в хорошем районе Тампере, все "интересности" недалеко. Великолепный и дружественный персонал решает проблемы и помогает постояльцам, если возникает такая необходимость. Завтрак, возможно, покажется кому-то "скучноватым", но все вполне съедобно, хотя, конечно, выбор невелик, но это вполне нормально для отеля с 24мя номерами. Рекомендуем.
Review 58：Staff was very friendly and helpful. Room was clean. Hotel is located in quiet area, but close to the city center (about 15 min walk). A super market is next to the hotel.
Review 59：No top sheet on beds (only a duvet/comforter) - which is typical of Europe, but I *really* like the extra sheet. In-room internet modem wasn't configured properly and kept dropping out.
Review 60：Quiet, good breakfast, secure, parquet wood floors in rooms, large openable windows, room had a kitchenette with all utensils. Right next door to convenience store.
Review 61：Not really in city center, need to walk 10 minutes to reach it. Breakfast should be improved. They clean the room once a week during your stay.
Review 62：Kitchen available in the room. Free parking inside the courtyard.
Review 63：The room was clean, new and really fresh. There was a fully functional kitchen with microwave oven, sink, coffeemaker etc... The breakfast was also good with everything we needed. The staff was friendly. We felt homey :) Thank you!
Review 64：The bathroom smelled wierd, though it seemed clean. And they seemed to be short of staff in the morning: if something run out, we had to wait quite a bit for new things to arrive. The staff was however very friendly.
Review 65：The location was ok, about 20 mins walking distance from railway station. The breakfast was good. The room was nice and big.
Review 66：There was no AC in the room and we were on the ground floor so opening windows was tough, as anyone could have come in through the window.
Review 67：The room had a small kitchenette and was in a good location. Breakfast was plentiful.
Review 68：No airconditioning (but windows are operable). Not that high quality interior.
Review 69：Helpful and nice staff. Simple homelike room. Great for business trips, with table for workin, LAN kable for internet and own kitchen appliances (no interruptions for coffee :) ). Walking distance from the inner city. Still pretty cheap in comparison.
Review 70：The water from shower spills on the floor in entire bathroom. Facilitiesand furnishings are pretty worn. There is a limited availability of thereception staff. They do not work after 9 P.M. and you have to call thebodyguards if you arrive to the hotel later. They came quickly but it issomewhat discomfort.
Review 71：The breakfast was quite ok, the room was clean and the bed wascomfortable. It was calm in the night.
Review 72：There's no elevator, so if you have a lot of luggage and can't carry it on stairs, maybe not place for you...? They dont clean rooms every day, and you have to remember to ask for the hairdryer from reception, but otherwise quite ok.
Review 73：Nice, little, very quiet place. Good thing was that it had a little kitchen, so for families traveling with little children I imagine it's handy. Also the bed was soft and comfortable. Breakfast ok.
Review 74：The bathroom was not clean nor was I provided anything beyond basic shampoo (lack of soap, or was that shampoo a one for all soap and shampoo combination), regardless bathroom was a huge disappointment. The fact that reception closes at 9 PM is really annoying. First night I came, I didn't arrive until after 11 PM and was stuck outside freezing in Finlands winter air waiting about an hour for the receptionist to show up. Second night I was there, I felt trapped and that I couldn't experience Tampere's nightlife because of the fact that reception closes so early and my hotel key is does not provide access in and out of the hotel. Huge disappointment. I would not go there again (and I'm to return to Tampere in March, I'll book it with some other hotel)
Review 75：A lot of English language programs on Finnish television stations was nice. The bed was comfortable as well.
Review 76：No elevator, rundown bathroom and extra prices for children's cots/extra beds and parking. Especially extra fee for parking feels irritating in hotel with pig parking lot, not located in the city center.
Review 77：Peaceful location, kitchen in room is important for us travelling with young children, breakfast buffet was all ok
Review 78：During two days there was no cleaning the room,in the bathroom the water accumulates on the floor (no separation bridge between the territory of the shower and wash basin), there is only one mirror (in the bathroom).
Review 79：Enough space in the room, convenient beds, kitchen block in the room, sauna, quite good breakfest
Review 80：It is a bit far from the main business/shopping area of Tampere, but is within acceptable walking distance. This hotel is more like a Embassy Suites with kitchenette and no night staff after 9 pm.
Review 81：We stayed only one night, but the hotel was very convenient for us being near friend's home. Breakfast was great.
Review 82：Accommodation was rather tired looking. Wi-fi patchy at best, even wiredconnection not great. Unfortunately Homeland had recently had a burstpipe and water damage, so sauna and guest lounge out of order. We hadbeen particularly looking forward to sauna. However, repairs were beingcarried out and are probably complete by now. Surprised that roomcleaning was not every day.
Review 83：Friendly, competent and helpful staff. Good breakfast.
Review 84：The hotel is a little far away from the city centre.
Review 85：Very helpful and friendly staff. We also liked it because it was an aparthotel close to a supermarket, good breakfasts, cosy room, free wi-fi in the room.
Review 86：Breakfast is very basic
Review 87：Yes was a nice stay with shops near by
