Perfect location opposite to the central railway station. Took around 20-25 mins from airport in train. Got a Small superior room but then view was amazing from 9th floor and balcony was pretty awesome. Stayed there for 3 nights, there are lot of restaurants around the hotel and tram station, bus station is also opposite to the hotel. Good breakfast buffet, courteous staff with guiding tourist spot locations. Good hotel to stay if you are looking to stay nearby from all tourist spots. Shuttle bus for airport is also available opposite to the hotel and tram station for catching the cruise to Tallinn, Estonia.
IndiaStaff is very helpful, clean and super location right in front of central station
LaosGood location in the city center. Just opposite of the central rail way station. Convenient to go everywhere in Helsinki. 24h super market is under the building easy to find something to eat.
ThailandLocation is the best, opposite to the Central Station. There's a 24h supermarket right within the building and other stores. Near to shopping centres. Walking distance to Market Square. Would consider the perfect location. Big room, good service, super friendly staff! Nice breakfast too, love the bacon!
MalaysiaThe hotel location was very central, walking distance from a lot of attractions. The breakfast spread was good. We loved our stay, the room was excellent with a balcony overlooking the city. The restaurants in the hotel and around the place were very good. I would definitely recommend staying here.
United Arab EmiratesEverything was great : service, location, friendly and helpful staff and a room. We were upgraded for 50 Euro a night to a nice 2 bedroom room with a beautiful view over the city. The room was spotlessly clean, spacious and comfortable with a TV set in both bedrooms and in the lounge. Metro, nice restaurants and shops just few minutes away walking distance. Central railway station is just on the opposite side of the square 2 min walking distance from the hotel. We also enjoyed a heated floor in a bathroom.
