We only stayed one night but would have loved to stay longer. This was a wonderful hotel full of unique and beautiful artwork. We arrived at 1330 and knew check-in wasn't until 1500 but they were able to check us in early which was extremely nice and convenient for us. The staff was very lovely and made the check-in process quick and easy. We stayed on the fourth floor and our room was great. We loved all the unique touches such as the forest painting on the ceiling! And the location of the hotel was excellent! The main helsinki train station was about a 10 minute walk which made it easy to get to and from the airport. Would highly recommend!

Very patient, engaging, and quite helpful staff. Pleasant view from our room in well designed space. Love the large, multi-level breakfast space with generous offerings. All this with a better-than-expected price. We will not hesitate to recommend to friends back in New York.
