The family-owned Verso is a modern urban hotel with strong traditions and first-class competence. The best located hotel in the city with its 128 rooms is a unique combination of the city’s heartbeat and human encounters – personality and locality.  We show good taste in everything. This reflects in the comfort of the premises, the smooth service and the inspiring flavours of food. Your stay is crowned by a unique hotel breakfast, the third best in Finland, which utilises only the Finnish ingredients and products. Our own bakers bake everything themselves by using the grain of the local producers and our chef will make an omelette according your wishes right in front of your very eyes.

“Always a nice place for a visit. A healthy dose of Finnish aviation and military history!  The kids like it when they get to sit in the ejector seat harness and in the fighter cockpits – and maybe Daddy likes it too a little.” – A visitor to the Finnish Air Force Museum
