Original Sokos Hotel Royal

Newly re-opened and fully renovated hotel was clean and quiet. The breakfast selection was impressive and served even until noon at weekends. Sauna area with pool and big balconies were great. That all was on the top floor (11th) and thus, there was a noce view over Vaasa and in the evenings you can buy and enjoy drinks there as well. The gym was also good and spacious although there were few other people training at same time.

The hotel is located downtown and has a private underground parking (14€ per 24hours). There are lots of restaurants, shops and walking streets around. The room was spacious, clean and very quiet. There was a minibar, kettle with free tea and coffee facilities, a large and comfortable bed, LCD TV and a small bathroom with shower. The bathroom looked a bit outdated. On the last floor there were free saunas and swimming pool that I didn’t have time to try. The breakfast was in the building on the opposite side of the street. To access it you can cross the road or take the small underground tunnel. The breakfast buffet was very good with a large choice of food, yogurts, fresh fruits, juices, fresh breads and a few pastries. If i have to stay again in Vaasa I will stay at this hotel. You can see the video I did on YT which will give you a better idea.

Good business oriented hotel in Vaasa city center near market square. Old school conference areas. Nice 10th floor penthouse sauna with swimming pool. Good breakfast. Parking area under main building. Friendly and professional staff in hotel.
