An extraordinary idea,.....transform an old prison into a 5 star Hotel. Excellent cuisine.

Pat-bene Chile

It was a pleasant stay. The hotel does not look common, be sure to take a walk and enjoy the result of old prison's transformation. On the ground floor there is a restaurant, we enjoyed our time.

Tatjana Finland

We enjoyed breakfast and bathroom. Bathroom is big. And there are bath salts and foams. Hotel has a convenient location.

Alexander Russia

Wonderful hotel, very atmospheric as it is an old prison, in a good location close to town with short walk to the sea. Excellent breakfast and welcoming staff. Perfect for a one night stop over in Helsinki.

Nigel United Kingdom

Great facility, super stylish, cool brand, the rooms are freshly renovated, there is iron in the room, big bathroom with warm floor, hairdryer and even good hair conditioner (this is rare). Really varied breakfast with local food (fresh pastries, berries, many gluten free and lactose free options). Definitely recommend.

Daina Latvia

Fantastic hotel in the Katajanokka region of Helsinki. The staff were super friendly and polite, the rooms clean and the decor fabulous. Breakfast was wonderful; a brilliant and varied selection was available daily. The number 4 line tram literally stops right outside so the links to town couldn't be easier; senate square is about a 10 minute brisk walk away too.

Jammyleedsfc United Kingdom

I was amazed about how kind and helpful the staff was. The hotel itself is an unusual but surprisingly good experience. Would definitely be stay there again.

Abril United Kingdom

Everything was wonderful. Staff are exceptionally friendly and attentive. The restaurant was great and food very good. Breakfast was plentiful and very fresh. The room was cosy, comfortable and quiet. The hotel is conveniently located close to the centre with a tram stop just outside the entrance. I enjoyed my stay very much. Great for business and pleasure.

Hilary Ireland

Very atmospheric place. This hotel is in the historic former prison in beautiful and quite part of Helsinki Katajanokka. Comfortable bed and pillows, our room had a bath. Tasty breakfast with a big food variety

      Nothing to say. Perhaps a fluffy bathrobe or some pod coffee-machine could be added to the room.

      It was a pleasant stay. The hotel does not look common, be sure to take a walk and enjoy the result of old prison's transformation. On the ground floor there is a restaurant, we enjoyed our time.

      Location is more difficult to navigate to by taxi in rush hour, but the location is great once there

      Very nicely executed, nice atmosphere

      “Composition of room”

      Composition of room wasn’t comfortable. When you spread out the sofa, you can’t move around the room.

      We enjoyed breakfast and bathroom. Bathroom is big. And there are bath salts and foams. Hotel has a convenient location.

      Wonderful hotel, very atmospheric as it is an old prison, in a good location close to town with short walk to the sea. Excellent breakfast and welcoming staff. Perfect for a one night stop over in Helsinki.

      Great facility, super stylish, cool brand, the rooms are freshly renovated, there is iron in the room, big bathroom with warm floor, hairdryer and even good hair conditioner (this is rare). Really varied breakfast with local food (fresh pastries, berries, many gluten free and lactose free options). Definitely recommend.

      Staying in a former prison is unique experience. It was like in the movies :) Worth every cent.

      “A fantastic boutique-base for 3 nights in Helsinki”
      • • Leisure trip
      • • Couple
      • • Stayed 3 nights

      The rooms are renovations of former cells therefore they aren't the most spacious; as long as you are prepared for this eventuality you will have a cracking stay here! There isn't a bar per-se, rather cans available to purchase from reception.... but definitely grab a Long Drink and enjoy it in the lounge with a newspaper. Value for money is tricky because it is very expensive... but then so is Helsinki in general. All in all, you have to look really hard to pick fault with this place... it is a quirky hotel and a great base for a great city!

      Fantastic hotel in the Katajanokka region of Helsinki. The staff were super friendly and polite, the rooms clean and the decor fabulous. Breakfast was wonderful; a brilliant and varied selection was available daily. The number 4 line tram literally stops right outside so the links to town couldn't be easier; senate square is about a 10 minute brisk walk away too.

      Everything was wonderful. Staff are exceptionally friendly and attentive. The restaurant was great and food very good. Breakfast was plentiful and very fresh. The room was cosy, comfortable and quiet. The hotel is conveniently located close to the centre with a tram stop just outside the entrance. I enjoyed my stay very much. Great for business and pleasure.

      We stayed in early October and it was too cold in our room

      Very atmospheric place. This hotel is in the historic former prison in beautiful and quite part of Helsinki Katajanokka. Comfortable bed and pillows, our room had a bath. Tasty breakfast with a big food variety

      Since this was a former prison the windows are rather small and have no view.

      Hotel in a unique style and interior design.
