What is Green Key?

What is the STF-label?

Tips for a responsible stay:

• Choose organic and locally produced food. Our restaurant also offers vegetarian and vegan options.
• Only take as much food as you can eat – you can always go back for more if you’re still hungry!
• Drink tap water! In Finland, we enjoy clean and fresh tap water. Glasses are available in our rooms, allowing you to choose refreshing tap water instead of bottled water.
• You can also arrive by public transport – the train station is just a few steps away. For those arriving by car, Asemaparkki parking hall offers charging stations for electric vehicles.
• Avoid using disposable dishes.
• Request room cleaning only when necessary. You can even ask for just the trash to be emptied if, for instance, you feel your towels are still usable.
• Recycle! Our rooms are equipped with sorted waste bins. Our staff is happy to help with recycling items like glass and metal – just ask for assistance.
• Give the gift of experiences rather than material goods – you can purchase spa, restaurant, accommodation, or S-gift cards from our reception.
• Explore beautiful Joensuu by bike, on foot, or using public transportation, with nature close by – we recommend nearby spots like Kuhasalo, Utransaari, and Repokallio.
• By choosing a Green Key certified hotel, you support sustainable tourism!
