Mankala Vacations from $1,258

Great location, close to shops and transport.

Pros : Staff was unfailingly courteous and helpful . Breakfast was outstanding . Local transportation was fantastic for reaching the city. Local area as quiet unpleasant to walk around. Cons: Presumably a local climate means you need well sealed rooms but they can become stuffy with no options for opening the room to air . Internet was iffy. Most of the time it seemed to work well enough but it was pretty slow and often the effort to reconnect after being disconnected for some mysterious reason, was difficult.

Conveniently reachable through public transport from airport. Clean and prepared room. Kind staff.

The room was gorgeous and elegant and comfortable. It was large and the bed was a true king size bed compared to the much smaller queen or even double that other hotels use for 2 people! The bathroom was large and water pressure strong. Service was impeccable, the breakfast had a good selection and was good with very pleasant service. There was no room service but the access to online delivery via the hotel and then getting it served on a tray with real plates and cutlery was great. Selection was limited to a lot of asian and some Finnish food but it was good enough! Plus it was only a 5 minute walk to the Market Hall! The closeness to the esplanade and the restaurants around was extremely helpful and if it weren't so cold we would have walked out more!

Room was not suitable for mobility . Steps up to bedroom area. Bed accessible only one side. Seniors with mobility issues found room not suitable.
