Beautiful decor, relaxed atmosphere, well appointed rooms, incredibly friendly staff, superbly located with respect to the main train station, which is an easy journey from the airport.
United KingdomGood hotel, good location, fair breakfast, good rooms
TurkeyVery nice hotel, closed to railway station, shuttle bus, business center, clean, comfortable, good view of city.
ChinaI loved my room! It had an amazing view of the city and the bed was super comfortable. I also enjoyed the sauna. It really relaxed me especially after having travelled all day.
United States of AmericaThe location is very convenient and central. A perfect place to nap the night away before an early flight for example (as the trainstation is right next to it that connects to the airport). The lobby looks really nice and the rooms are comfy, clean and spacious. We didn’t have a chance to enjoy the full breakfast because our flight was so early, but it was nice that they offered us a sandwich, coffee, juice and fruit on the morning. All on all a great experience, would recommend.
EstoniaWe were pleasantly surprised to be upgraded to a room with a big outdoor balcony. but even without that, the room was sparkling clean and the bed very comfortable. The sauna down the hall was a splendid way to relax after a long day of walking around Helsinki. Finally, the breakfast was very good, 9 out of 10 on that.
United States of AmericaBeautiful mid-century modern era hotel right in the middle of everything in downtown Helsinki
United States of AmericaThe rooms are very spacious, beauriful, spotless and well appointed. The breakfast is sensational. The entire staff is very professional and helpful. The location is directly in the city center. Everything is "next door".. I was so happy with the entire stay.
United States of AmericaClean room with good view. Excellent breakfast. Location is also excellent.
