“Can't wait to go back!”

Brilliant hotel, facilities were excellent. The room was a great size. I would recommend it to anyone!

“Good choice while in Helsinki”

Overall very nice. Great breakfast. Good gym 24h. Nice sauna. Free use of microwave near lobby cafe. Three free-to-use PCs in the lobby with printers. Nice play area for kids in the restaurant entarance. Good size room (we had Family Room with 1 Qn bed and pullout Qn sofa) Easy access via #4 tram (about 10 min from center) or by foot, especially in the summer, (about 20 min) Beautiful location by harbour, ferries, marketplace. Two thumbs up from all of us!

“Convenient to Ferry and Market Square”

This hotel caters to business customers but is great for tourists as well. If you are using Viking Line ferries to Stockholm or Tallinn, the terminal is across the street. The central Market Square and Senate Square is less than a 10 minute walk. The hotel restaurant is reasonable and prepares good food. The breakfast is predictable Scandanavian fare but ample. The rooms featue free WiFi and are comfortable. My only observation is that there is no way to adjust the temperature of the room. Overall an excellent hotel if a little pricey.

“Didn't expect it to be so good!”

Absolutely impressed with the hotel, didn't expect it to be that good. Loved the free bicycles and the environment of the bar/lounge area. Great breakfast! Would have loved to use the gym and sauna if I had another day or so in Helsinki.

“I may be biased but I loved the location”

I am from Helsinki originally but I have lived in UK for 34 years and for the first time was going to Helsinki by myself and staying in a hotel. I loved to be so near the sea and to see all cruise ships, the market etc. Visiting in August I saw the Helsinki Marathon which I would recommend to any runners (I run it in 1987 in 3.59.57). I would also recommed this hotel for its location for anyone visiting Helsinki as a tourist, although I am still to go there at the winter time which will be later this year.

“The service was first-rate”

As a bleary-eyed traveler, I was pleasantly surprised when the desk manager offered not only to check on ferry times for me, but to go ahead and book me a seat! It's always nice to be surprised with exemplary customer service when one is far from home...

“Very Good”

We rated this hotel highly. We go on a large number of trips and this is certainly in the top 10% of hotels that we have stayed in, Rooms were large (we had an end room which looked bigger than the standards) and there's the carbon neutral factor as well. Free Wifi too, Breakfast was the same choice for the 3 days we were there, but was good. We took a tram from the train station, (where the airport bus picks up and drops off) which appeared the best option when arriving at 10pm, although the walk is pretty easy once you get your bearings, with the hotel situated only 5 mins from the main harbour . esplanade. Location was very good.

“We can understand why this hotel is so busy. A very good value!”

The staff was helpful but you have to understand the Finnish. If you ask them they will answer your question directly with excellent information. The staff were fluent in English.

“Great breakfast, nice off-center location. Definitely recommended”

I tend not to stay in places for a week, but this was a good base for experiencing Helsinki. I read plenty of reviews before choosing this hotel and would say the following. The pros are 1) good value for money; 2) location is convenient, but off-center; if you like to retreat to a location slightly away from the city center at night, this place is well situated; 3) the breakfast really is an impressive production; if you're suffering from jet lag or have an early morning activity, they have food out as early as 4:30 am; 4) the facilities, including gym, sauna, game room, lobby area are all good; you could probably find better, but you'd pay more; 5) the staff were consistently pleasant, good humored and helpful. The cons, as far as I can determine are 1) it's been a warm summer and people staying on the sunny side of the building did not have the benefit of robust A/C. I suspect this would be the case elsewhere; 2) The hotel is in an active port area, so there is a good deal of traffic. If you need complete silence to sleep, you will be unhappy; 3) in their effort to be eco-friendly, the hotel a bit more aggressive about reuse of towels, etc. than you might be used to. They don't hoard them if you need them, but you can tell this is part of their ethos; 4) the rooms are a bit like very nice dormitory rooms. Nothing fancy, but perfectly serviceable. If you need luxury, you'll have looked elsewhere, though. I would book this place again. It definitely worked well for me.

“Most definately worth visiting.”

Yes, yes and yes please book this hotel most certainly convenient to most things one is looking for whilst in Helskinki for a few days, I choose this hotel per fellow reviews and I definately was glad I read the reviews. EXCELLENT!!!
