Extremely clean and stylish property. The staff were very friendly and helpful in recommending places to visit. It’s literally next to the central train station, great accessibility.

Stayed here for 3 nights, and for the price I paid, this hotel truly exceeded my expectations. The central bus stop is right in front of the hotel, and the train station is just a 1–2 minute walk away. It’s also conveniently located near all the major tourist sights. The room was very nice, clean, and comfortable, and the breakfast buffet was decent. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel!

Great Location and comfort.

Our stay was better than expected. It's a very short walk from the train station and they were very helpful. Beautiful hotel. The breakfast was worth staying for. Really good food that was the right temp and again the staff did anything asked. Whenever I go back to Helsinki I WILL be staying here again.

Overall, good experience and service. Our room had left over food under the desk which I’m assuming cleaning staff did not see, but the room was nicely sized, nicely designed and the experience was overall decent.
