We're taking weekend holiday in Helsinki at Glo Art. I must say that we expected more. There was no big things about complaining, but.... In this kind of building there is lots of potential, but everything was still just normally. Rooms were small, furniture was nice but normal, bathroom was pretty much just toilet etc. Staff was friendly and breakfast... More

This hotel was not a city castle in the way that we imagined from its advertisements. Beyond the facade and lobby, resemblance to a castle is missing. While the facility does an OK job within limitations imposed by an inner city location, and the staff was friendly and helpful, we would not choose it again.

Good location, superb breakfast, good and efficient service. The castle atmosphere is very nice, the rooms are clean and modern, beds comfortable, price affordable. Minus points for the small room and the long way from the reception to the room. Our room was on the 6th floor behind two separate lifts, several corridors, multiple doors that had to be opened...

Perhaps it was the hype of an edgy design hotel/castle that had me drawn to book. The walk from the Central Station to the hotel however, had me put off with the dusty road, surrounding construction and the lack of a visible castle. The facade of the castle extends only to the reception and the stairwell from I could gather,... More

A number of others have mentioned the smallness of the rooms as being a disadvantage but what I find the biggest problem is the stairs to the front door and the door itself. While it is a magnificent timber door complete with bolted hinges etc, it is a sel- closer (very necessary in such a climate) which is a problem... More

Stayed at Hotel Glo Art for 6 days - it was a business trip - so the company paid all my expenses. The Hotel tariff was around 600 Euros for 5 days and this included breakfast too. The check-in process was easy and I got the access card in less than 5 minutes. The ladies at the reception will greet... More

I stayed in this Hotel for one night with a large group. We found the staff to be very friendly and helpful. They gave good directions whenever we needed them and were very willing to help. The rooms were very smart, clean and the showers were brilliant! I had a good nights sleep and the 12pm checkout allowed ample time... More

Booked a smart room, but paid for an upgrade as soon as I saw the room. It would be ok for one adult on a budget but there is no storage in this room if you are staying for a few days. The standard room was better I'd still small. Very clean and pristine, but still a lack of storage.... More

I have booked a room with breakfast included. The hotel is huge and its front building looks like a Medieval castle. The reception is quite dark but receptionists were kind. The room had design furniture and many design lights; curtains are sunlight-proof. Unfortunately there was no wardrobe so I had to keep my stuff in my luggage. The bathroom was... More
