MR Apartments 2
A balcony flat five minutes from the bus
About this hotel
MR Apartments 2 keeps the essentials simple and well executed: a one-bedroom apartment with its own balcony for evening downtime, a washing machine that earns its keep fast on a water park trip, and a fully equipped kitchen for proper family meals rather than takeaway every night. Its position, a five-minute walk from Vaasa Bus Station and 400 metres from the train station, keeps it inside the same compact core as the market hall and most Tropiclandia-bound families. Reception staff speaking English, Finnish and Swedish smooth over any questions about the surrounding city or the walk to the water park itself. The compact core of Vaasa keeps the market hall, train station and water park all within a manageable distance of the door.

Our take
This suits a family wanting straightforward self-catering with a balcony bonus, close enough to both transport hubs to manage comfortably without a car for most of the trip. It's a dependable, no-surprises choice for a family prioritising practicality over standout amenities. Either way, it's a dependable pick rather than a risky gamble for a family planning a Tropiclandia-focused trip.
- ✓Use the balcony for a relaxed evening once the kids are settled after a full day of Tropiclandia slides.
- ✓Cook proper dinners here rather than eating out constantly, since the kitchen is genuinely fully equipped for family meals.
- ✓Ask multilingual reception for walking directions to Tropiclandia if unfamiliar with central Vaasa's layout on arrival.

Why guests love itWe cooked most nights here thanks to the well-equipped kitchen, which kept our budget in check across a longer stay. The balcony became our evening spot once the kids were asleep, a small but genuinely appreciated bonus after a busy day at the water park. Nothing about the stay felt like a compromise, even on the busiest Tropiclandia days. We'd book it again without hesitation for a future Tropiclandia trip with the kids.
