Courtyard by Marriott Tampere City

Stayed here for 3 nights with my hubby. Location is very good. There’s no wow factor, it’s just a straight forward hotel. Staff are friendly and helpful. Our room was on the 8th floor, clean and good size. However It was hot during the night and we couldn’t alter the temperature, so that wasn’t great. There’s also no water bottles in the room which is unusual. Minimum coffee pods too. It was only on the 2nd day after noticing that house keeping had not serviced our room that I noticed a door hanging sign with small print on it stating basically “doing their bit for the environment so housekeeping will be on the third day but could make requests” we have never seen this before and even though it states the “third” day, in fact it’s the fourth because we never had housekeeping service our room up to the point of leaving on Sunday morning, having been there since Thursday. I did mention this to reception when leaving, she repeated we could’ve made requests - well firstly we didn’t realise until the 2nd night upon reading the sign (it’s not visibly stated in another area) and then we had expected them to come on the third day. This was disappointing.. most places at least have house keeping come in and you choose whether to leave your towels on the floor etc but to not even come in to fix the bed or provide clean cups/more coffee pods… I feel it’s a cop out in the guise of “saving the environment “ We had breakfast for three mornings, it does get a bit repetitive but it’s fine. The one negative is when the dining area becomes very busy which was on Sunday and the queues are very long. There is only one access point to the cold and hot buffet, and even though you might only want the hot buffet, you have to join the long queue which is frustrating. There is one coffee machine for speciality coffees (Americanos etc..) and one filter coffee station, there should be two coffee machines but I feel they wouldn’t have the space. We attended the gym which is a small enough area, one of the mornings there were 4 of us in there and if you’re trying to do mat work, the area is small and restrictive, other than that it’s ok. Overall it was pleasant but some things could be improved, kog sure we would return.

何しろムーミン美術館の隣！ 部屋は清潔で明るく広過ぎるほど快適でした。朝食はヘルシンキのホテルよりずっと美味しかったです。ジュースも濃い味でヨーグルトのお味も、小さなシュガードーナツのモチモチ感とほのかなシナモンの香りはもう一度食べたくなるほど美味しかったです♪また必ずこちらを選びます。緑いっぱいの景色も良かったです。

My husband and I booked this hotel because of its vicinity to the train station and Nokia Arena as well as easy access to downtown. The room was lovely with comfortable beds, ample space to unpack, and a great shower. The gym is quite small, but has a treadmill, weights, and mats - however, with more than 3 people in the gym, it’s very tight and crowded. The WiFi in our room was quite spotty, and our phone and TV quit working our last night, but nothing to be upset about. The staff is super friendly and the food is delicious at the restaurant. When we return to Tampere in the future, we will definitely consider staying here again.

The Courtyard by Marriot in Tampere is a 10 minute walk from the train station. This is very helpful if you have large baggage. The staff were very friendly. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. They gym was small but had 1 treadmill, which is what I was looking for to use. There were also some free-weights, a bike, kettlebells, mats, and a few other pieces of equipment. Opt in for breakfast for 20 Euros. Overall, I'm glad I stayed at the Courtyard and I would choose it again.
