Hotel Hermica — Hotel in Tampere sub-region

They had the last available decently priced room in Tampere on a weekend where there couple of big events in the city. The price is cheap and you get what you pay for. ||The hotel has limited reception hours, but at this weekend because the hotel was full, they had extended the check-in hours so early check-in was possible.||The staff is friendly and they offer free parking both on the outside parking lot and in a garage if there is space left. The garage only fits less than 10 cars so you have to be early if you want a garage spot.||I can see there is a wifi but I was never given a password for it.||||The room I got was quite big. It had basic desk and couple of chairs. Lot of shelf space which is a plus. A modern flat screen TV in the room. There was also a minifridge but it had a little bit ill fitting door so it wasn't very cold inside but kept my soda bottles somewhat cool. The bed is very basic with soft springs, the pillows also very basic but it was ok for one night. ||||The main room was clean and the linen seemed to be clean too. However the ||wooden floor was somewhat destroyed, especially near the desk and the nightstand the floow surface was completely scratched off and there were some elevated floor blocks as well. Also the cleaning has missed a visible winter boot mark left by previous guest. Furniture was in good condition.||||The bigger grievance however is the bathroom. The floor was somewhat dirty, there were hairs and dust near the door. Also the old vinyl floor was looking a bit tattered, seemed to have cigarette burn marks or similar black spots and was generally unappealing to the point that I decided against taking a shower.||The toilet seat and sink were clean. The tower radiator worked. ||||The soundproofing was surprisingly ok, the hotel is quiet and I didn't have need to use ear plugs because there were very little noise from outside and inside.||||The breakfast was a bit of a let down. They have a lot of variety but some of the warm stuff, were actually underheated. For example the karelian pies were warm on the edges but close to frozen in the center. The ball shaped doughnuts were the also near frozen. They should be served warm. Not a very good start for the day.||||In general for the price the quality is ok. The hotel has some issues with cleaning and breakfast but those are minort considering the price. The location is far from the city but has good public transport...

I stayed in this hotel for one night, in room 112. The room was rather large for one person with two separate beds and one extra bed that was folded to the corner. The cabinets in the room were spacious. The bathroom was also conveniently spacious, and there was good place for shampoo and soap in the shower. The room was very cool in the night although there was no air conditioning. The sound insulation was very good, I could not hear anyone outside the room. The room was clean and there was an empty but working fridge in the room in case you want your beverage cold.||||The location was excellent as the hotel was really close to the university building in which I had a conference in Hervanta. There were restaurants and a shopping area rather close. I tried the hotel restaurant in the evening and I think it was of a good quality, nothing exceptionally good but rather nice. The place overall was very quiet and peaceful at least on a Wednesday night. There were several parking places right next to the hotel. The service was good and the receptionists were very kind and helpful. The breakfast was good: different kinds of bread, yoghurts, serial, pastry, cheeses, ham, fruits, berries… ||||The reception seems to be closed from midday till 4 pm, and then again for the night, so make sure it is open when you arrive (after you have the key you can move freely in and out of the room and hotel).||||If ever I come to visit the university area again, I would definitely consider staying in this hotel once more. It is nothing horribly special but a cosy place to stay for a night or two. The basics...

Viivyin hotellissa tai enemmänkin hostellissa yhden yön. Hotelli tarjosi lämmintä parkkihallia autolle mikä oli kilttiä. Respa iski käteen avainkortit sekä parkkiluvan, muuta ei oikeastaan juteltukkaa. Esim missä ja milloin aamulla saisi apetta. Hissi oli jännän rymisevä. Huoneen oven avattuani nauroin maittavasti. Käännyin kannoillani katsomaan ovesta, että olinko astunut vanhainkotiin, sillä sisustus oli 70-luvulta. Ei se haittaa. Vessa oli ruma. Sänkyjen yläpuolella roikkui ilmastointilaitteen tuliaisina tuomia nyrkin kokoisia pölypalloja. Koko yön sai sitten väistellä tippuvia miinoja ja sitä että pystyykö aamulla puhumaan kun yskii karvapalloja. Yllätyksekseni sainkin nuhan enkä yskän. Huone oli kolkko ja yhdellä seinällä oli lukittu ovi. Odotin innoissani millonhan siitä pamahtaa naapuri sisään, joten käärin pöytälampun johdon kahvaan kiinni niin olen siten puolustuskykyinen. Yöllä heräsin naapuri huoneen aivastukseen. Aamu alkoi hämärästä vielä valokatkaisian painamisenkin jälkeen. Kattovalojahan hotelli ei tarjonnut vaan olisi itse pitänyt tajuta tuoda mukanaan. Aamupalalle löysin keittiössä huutavien työntekijöiden ääniä seuratessa. Aamupala oli hyvä, ei moitittavaa, mutta kiinnostaa oliko ne pienet pöntöt pöydissä todella roskiksia, tuhkakuppeja vaiko muovisia maljakoita? Hintaa tälle kokemukselle kertyi sen 155€. Ens kerralla otan sen autotallin ja...
