About the Hotel
Original Sokos Hotel Kimmel is part of the Original Sokos line and offers an electric hotel sauna for hotel guests, on the Pielisjoki river bank in central Joensuu, the gateway to North Karelia. The sauna sits within the hotel's wellness corner and follows the familiar Finnish rhythm of warming up, cooling down, and resting between rounds. Communal access is reserved for staying guests, with separate slots for women and men where signposted on site.
Around the sauna, Original Sokos Hotel Kimmel keeps the wellness offering simple and reliable. Most guests follow a short ritual: a first sauna round to ease into the heat, a cool shower or fresh-air break, then a second round before resting and rehydrating in the lounge. Stays here include breakfast service, a fitness area, accessible facilities, with the sauna available to guests during the hotel's standard operating hours. Booking is handled at the front desk; check the daily sauna schedule on arrival.
Original Sokos Hotel Kimmel is an easy place to slow down at the end of a day in Joensuu. A traditional sauna ritual is part of every Finnish stay, and this hotel makes that ritual a quiet, dependable feature of the visit.
