The place was located at the very center of Helsinki, so it was very easy to visit museums, shops and restaurants within walking distance; the place was also very clean and well equipped so you could cook your own food when needed. In general I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay.

    Hi there! Most of our rooms have windows to the courtyard which is very quiet. Unfortunately a few rooms have window to the street, and since we are located in the very heart of Helsinki there might be some noise. We do offer all our guests free earplugs just in case! :)
