Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's location in the center of Helsinki provides easy access to various attractions, shops, and dining options. While the rooms lacked unique design features, the addition of a sauna was a nice touch. The service was attentive despite a minor mishap with packing food early. Dining options were satisfactory, and the facilities met expectations.
The hotel has rooms that are really superior, very clean, and well-equipped, but lack imagination in design and feel like a dorm room in a youth hostel. Unfortunately, the rooms face a narrow courtyard with loud air conditioning machines, limiting airing options. The service is super efficient and friendly, going above and beyond to assist guests. The location is very convenient, close to the train station and within walking distance to various attractions. The dining experience offers a good basic selection but can get crowded. Overall, a comfortable stay with a few drawbacks.
The hotel offers spacious rooms that can accommodate up to 4 adults comfortably. While the rooms may appear worn out and lack design creativity, they are large, clean, quiet, and well-appointed. The service, though facing minor setbacks like room changes without permission and noise disturbances, was overall excellent. The location is superb, close to the city center, railway station, and various attractions. Dining options were satisfactory, with some crowded areas. The hotel provides adequate facilities to ensure a pleasant stay.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious, clean, and surprisingly quiet despite not being noise-oriented. The staff was friendly and the breakfast selection was excellent. However, the dining experience was slightly weak, and it could get busy at times. The location was perfect for my visit, with historical significance and close to many tourist sites.
The hotel offers spacious rooms with a huge mirror and a comfy bed, though some dust on the floor and slightly dated furnishing were noticeable. The service was very helpful and friendly, with a good breakfast provided. The location is excellent, close to the train station, university, and shopping areas. The dining experience, while offering a basic selection, lacked vegan-friendly options and had early morning closure times during the week. Overall, a comfortable stay with minor areas for improvement.
For my summer vacation in July, the hotel is a great pick with windows to the inner yard from the top floor in the sauna section. The staff is very helpful and friendly, but there were some issues with the English channels and group service. However, it's a spot I'd recommend for a brief stay in Helsinki, especially if you love being in the lively city center both day and night.
The hotel is conveniently located, with easy access to the University of Helsinki and downtown area. The rooms, although spacious, lack warmth and may need refurbishment. The service was friendly and accommodating, especially with special requests. The dining experience offers a great variety of dishes but may get overcrowded at times. Overall, a good option for a short stay with value for money.
The hotel is conveniently located in the city heart, close to the main train station and historical center. The rooms were clean and tidy, but lacking a cozy feel. The staff was efficient, helpful, and friendly. The dining experience offered a great variety of tasty and diversified options, although it could get overcrowded at times.
