I appreciated staying here, as well as hotel's location and rooms. Location right by the train station and Helsinki and the center of the city. Also, the venue had quick access to a contemporary church chapel.

    Located right opposite the train station, this place is conveniently positioned in the very center. I appreciated the free wi-fi in rooms and the air conditioning, making my stay comfortable. The dining buffet offered a good variety of dishes, and I also enjoyed having an electric kettle in the room.

    We loved the location of the hotel, as it was near everything in Helsinki. It was so convenient being close to the central station and situated in the center of various shopping malls. The hotel facilities were excellent, including a private balcony and a cozy retro room that made us feel like we were in a nice place. The cleanliness was top-notch, and the staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast provided was great, and the wifi connection was very good with fast speeds.

    For us, it was ideal.

    We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The location was perfect, as it was very close to the railway station and a departmental store, making shopping very convenient. The hotel itself was directly in the city center, making it easy to find from the main railway station. Our room was spacious, clean, and nicely decorated. The staff was friendly and provided excellent service. The breakfast was delicious and had lots of quality choices. We also enjoyed the panoramic view from the rooftop terraces.

    The long lines and slow registration process at the reception.

    The hotel had a great location, with easy access to transportation and various restaurants nearby. The breakfast buffet was varied and delicious, offering a good selection of hot and cold dishes. Additionally, the sauna was a wonderful experience and a great way to relax after a long day of exploring.

    The storage space in the room was quite limited, which made it difficult to keep our belongings organized. The room also lacked sufficient power outlets, making it inconvenient to charge our devices.

    As vegetarian and vegan travelers, we were delighted to find that the hotel offered a breakfast buffet with vegan options. It was great to have a variety of choices to suit our dietary preferences.

    Felt like VIPs, no complaints.
