A lovely hotel in the downtown Helsinki. About 10 minutes walk to the main railway station and most of the main city attractions and shopping centres. Friendly and helpful staff. Good buffet breakfast with great selections. The hotel display lots of arts, paintings, drawings all around in the hotel, specially on 6th & 7th floor, a special treats to artistic mind. We loved it, though we had only one night stay in the hotel.

Hotel's Favorite
Loved this hotel, not an off the shelf hotel, little quirky with its own personality. Breakfast was a great selection spaced out, could get a little busy at peak times, but nice to see the fantastic cross section of guests staying at this lovely hotel. The all important WiFi was strong and in room tech worked well too

Quiet room, friendly reception. A bit too much decorations in the room. Ceiling picture superb! Breakfast rather nice but the ”riisipuuro” was awful! Was it not made in milk? Please, stop the music in the breakfast area. Absolutely unpleasant and unnecessary. Hotel location very central.

Very nice hotel located in downtown Helsinki within walking distance of the railway station and close to the underground (if your luggage is too heavy for the walk) which makes it a recommendable location if you plan to wander around the city. The interiors are modern and pleasant, well designed although I found my single room a little on the smallish side. But I don't think that anybody comes to Helsinki to spend the time in a hotel room. Breakfast is very varied with lots of local produce to choose from so when you plan your departure allow yourself some time in the morning to sample everything that is offered there. An exhibition of contemporary paintings/art in several rooms was an added value to my stay.
