I've stayed twice in Scandic Simonkentta while in the city of Helsinki for short business trips and would definitely stay there again. I had to work for several hours in my room and I especially enjoyed its cosiness. The room was nicely arranged, the bed was comfortable, the lighting was well-thought and the desk spacious for those who need it.... More
