오리지널 소코스 호텔 바아쿠나 바사

This hotel is located next to the marketplace in the Rewell shopping center. After staying one night in the Central Hotel, this hotel felt much more modern. We booked a Junior Suite. There are four of them with different themes: Cloud, Forest, Bridge, and Christmas. Beforehand I emailed the hotel and asked for the Forest one. The decor was very unique and you really got the forest feeling in this spacious room which was previously probably two separate rooms because there were two identical bathrooms, both with showers. Maybe there could have been done more renovation to get one bigger bathroom with both a tub and shower. Breakfast was served on the 2nd floor at Venn restaurant. It was a little bit confusing breakfast for a first-timer. The food selection was quite good and fresher than we had at Central the previous morning. There is also a Rosso restaurant next to Venn and the whole combination was quite confusing. We had dinner at Rosso and when coming from the lift you will come first at Venn and have to go through this restaurant to get to Rosso. Ilves Tampere offers the same kind of restaurant hassle which we don't like. On the 9th floor, you will find the Sky Bar with great views over Vaasa.

Restaurant Central did not unfortunately meet our requirements. The food was good but service poor. The personnel forgot too many things and did not know very much of the menu. It took too long to be served.
