to get started.

It was placed in a good location, close to the harbor and the city center.

Sebastian, Romania

Cleanliness, decor, location The staff was super helpful, they went out of their way to book me an emergency appointment with a dentist!

Abdulla, United Arab Emirates

We arrived from the airport early and the hotel was able to provide our rooms in advance of normal check in times. The location was very close to the harbor and tourist locations. It was also close to a team stop when coming from the train station. There was a free breakfast which was a hit for our kids.

Shawn, United States of America

Friendly staff, huge breakfast selection with vegan options, close to many attractions including ferry boats to islands and Viking cruise ship port. The rooms were clean, quiet, great WiFi, blackout curtains for sleeping off jet lag, and comfortable beds. Sauna was clean and I had it all to myself. Was allowed late check out. Overall a great value for money! Wonderful stay!

Suezann, United States of America

Great location near the waterfront and the city center. The room was simple, clean and efficient - had everything I needed. The reception was friendly and helpful and the bar staff was as well. I stopped in Helsinki for a day and night coming back from Lapland on holiday and it was a perfect close to a great trip in Finland. I’d definitely recommend this hotel.

Michelle, United States of America

Location grand classic hotel. Good food and service

Charles, United States of America

The location was excellent; on the water but a short walk to the esplanade and city center. The sauna was clean and the food service -- both the buffet breakfast and the dinners -- were delicious.

S1mona, France

Staff were great and helpfull, breakfast was really good, the bar was good and entrance/first floor decorations were quite pleasent.

Ilya, Sweden

I will always stay at this hotel when in Helsinki; the neighborhood is a cultural gem for architecture - and "old gritty" warehouse buildings - 1890's - 1910s? They are super cool. It's great the area is not as popular as it might easily become - it's quiet - and almost remote - despite being only 5 minutes to the Esplanade...The breakfast spread has enough variety and quality to keep me food-satisfied until after 5 p.m., albeit with a cappuccino break about 3 (15:00) or so....The sauna is great - and clean. Guests are courteous -and halls are pin-quiet.

I've ordered a twin room and instead of a twin room, I got a room for 3 persons, with one extra bed which makes the room fill so tiny and not at all spacious. And on the floor was a lot of dust...so they can improve the cleaning part.
It was placed in a good location, close to the harbor and the city center.

Rather lacking in flair. Understand that it was a warehouse, but this remains quite industrial in its decor. More for business than for a holiday . Room attention fairy poor . Restaurant would avoid and try many of the beautiful places to eat. Waiter staff quite dry and not friendly
It was convenient for the conference centre and not far to walk to the city centre.

Exceptional service from the Reception team. I remember Patricks name but the others were no less helpful and they were all a credit to the Hotel. We were leaving on an evening flight and were asked if we wanted to extend our checking out time by a few hours. A great gesture.

I can’t say that it is a minus, but the thing that can be easily improved: it would be more safe to give tourists label with number, when they live their bags in luggage room. So when they want to pick up their luggage, they should return those label. I think that it would be safer, because number of guests is really huge, so lots of go inside and outside luggage room, and could take wrong bag,or even steal. P.S:the luggage room is unlocked by hotel staff, but no one look after what people take from those room
The hotel is situated in really great place, very nice island,Katajanokka, with beautiful architecture, so I do really advice tourists not to go straightforward to the main attractions, but to roam about island streets))

The location was mixed. No local restaurants, shops or bars, so popping out for dinner was a bit of an effort.
However the location was great for the Viking Line ferry if going to Tallinn with them, and it was also close to Market Square and the main church/cathedral. Also good for ferries to the island fort. About 20 mind walk from the main station so not ideal but at the same time pretty close. A tram stop is close to the hotel. Breakfast was amazing. All you can eat buffet with so much variety. Has a gym and sauna, plus a bar.
