Huone oli siisti ja rakennus ylipäätään mukavan näköinen. Huoneen ovi ei kuitenkaan ollut alaosasta tiivis, joten käytävän äänet kuuluivat huoneeseen häiritsevän kovaa. Myös vessan lavuaarin putket vuotivat käyttäessä vettä jaloille.

We enjoyed our stay - with quiet and peaceful manners. The room was small with all sorts of amenities. Dining table was fixed and oversized and it was kinda difficult to maneuver in the room. Surprisingly no soap or any kind and/or shampoos was provided but dish washing liquid was available.

Nothing fancy but location is good and rooms are well-equipped for a budget traveller -plates, microwave etc. Not having a reception is also fine as long as all works, when it does not things might get a bit complicated. I would recommend the place to have a working public phone to contact the reception directly - own phone might be empty, lost or not work in Finland. Walls are quite thin.

The last time the ventilation in the bathroom was cleaned was like 5 years ago the amount of dust that was dangling from it was pretty disgusting. Otherwise pretty pleasant stay, the location is good.

Germaphobes beware
Location was really good, but the room was very warm and the window did not open enough to cool it down at all. Also, the number pads that you use to access the room and floor were dirty and sticky which should be a no-no at a time like this and made me question the general level of cleanliness. I did not receive the key code to my phone. It had gone some random number even though my account info specified the correct number. Customer service, however, was awesome and super quick to reach.

Central, but old property with mediocre standard
Location is central, right on the main street. Unlike some other properties by this chain, in this one you can open a small window in the room, which I find a major plus though there is still some kind of ventilaton constantly pushing air into the room (no a/c). The building is rather old, when you get into the lift it's just unpleasant so you will try not to touch anything. The room itself is fairly clean, with some kitchen utensils but no kitchen - you wash things in the bathroom. Bathroom small and functional, with rather old look (and plastic wash basin - like an old Ibis budget, just for a double price). All in all, very basic, aging property, at central location, at price well above what it's worth but quite a bit less than ridiculous accommodation prices in Finland.

Comfortable apartment in central Tampere
We enjoyed a three night stay in a studio apartment. It was spacious and well equipped. We had a large balcony with a beautiful view. We loved the central location and were able to walk everywhere in Central Tampere including the Moomin museum - highly recommend.

Good stay and value for the money
This hotel is a decent efficient hotel, located on the quiet side of the main street of Tampere. I received my personal code via email and not text message, which I was expecting, so, I wasted 30 minutes. You must have phone service in Finland, which can be a problem for those foreigners used to use just wifi while traveling. The layout of the room was weird, two beds separated by a big shelve, preventing me from having eye contact with my wife. There was major construction work on the street, which was very annoying. In recap, it was a good stay for the money.

Convenient location
The apartment is very convenient as it is near the centre of Tampere. It wasn't that expensive compared to other hotels. Getting the access code half an hour earlier was a great plus. I got good service when requesting an early checking over e-mail. The hotel is a bit dated - the lifts and doors in corridors seem old as does some of the equipment inside of the room, especially the bathroom which is very tiny. It's handy to have a kettle and also complimentary tea so that was appreciated. The fridge (at least I think it was the fridge) kept making a weird sound (like when you put the kettle on) which was quite uncomfortable so the equipment should be checked and replaced. Overall, the location was great, the access using a code was very convenient, it wasn't terribly expensive but wasn't the most comfortable. All in all, an enjoyable experience.

Good location, functional apartment
This is a functional place to crash, which is perfect if that's what you're after. It has a comfortable bed, TV, place to sit and eat, basic kitchen and bathroom facilities. If I were to guess, I'd say it's several floors of a converted office block (the corridors leading to the rooms look very institutional!) - if you want hotel-style amenities and luxury, stay in a hotel.

On Main Street, close to city centre and nightlife
No fuss Accomodation in Tampere. Rooms are clean and functional. Have everything one needs from fridge, microwave, etc. bargain is self catering and sharing. Important of providing correct mobile number or emailing them re reservation so that they sent you access code. Unfortunately no sauna.

Great location for familystay
Unfortunately our stay was cancelled due to childrens sickness. Tampere is familiar to our family, and Forenom appartments are located perfectly for visiting amusementpark Särkänniemi and Tampere city center. Situation near to Häme-park is excellent also for jogging- along the park or very nice Pyynikki-ridge nearby. Only minus is that you get appartment so late, at 16:00 wich is later than in hotels and you have to leave earlier.

Nice hotel without front desk and 24h service, easy access with door code. If you don´t need a bulk breakfast, this is a way better than other cheap hotels in city centre area.

Excellent budget accommodation
I was really pleased with Forenom. The location is great - right on the main street with a ton of bars, restaurants and shops nearby. Despite that, it was very quiet - no problems with noise - and with three locked doors, it felt very secure too. I received my door code right on time via email and text. It's perfect if you're on a budget. The rate was very cheap, and because there's a fridge/microwave/plates etc. you can eat in the room if you're looking to save money. There's a lot of room, and the design is very modern. I believe this hotel used to be part of the Omenahotel chain so if you've stayed there you'll know what to expect. Bathroom was clean and big, with a nice shower. Lots of storage space too. It's a shame there wasn't a little food preparation area - we had to use the table in the room to cut bread etc. which isn't ideal. It's an aparthotel so there's not much in the way of service. There's a 24 hour phone number and a member of staff on the front desk during the daytime, but we didn't need to contact anyone. I personally prefer aparthotels, but if you're looking for a traditional hotel service this isn't the place. Only downsides: the keypad on the room door was a little finicky and we had to enter the code very carefully. Also, the beds are two single beds on wheels. So you can easily push them together to make a double, but try not to fall through the middle!
