Very new property in excellent location within walking distance to city center. Has a minimalist trendy vibe. Self-serve laundry facilities were a huge plus in the middle of our trip. Nice to stay at a newer property in the "old world near historical city center. Euro travelers know what I'm talking about. Would stay again. Wish it weren't 9 time zones from home.

Functional
The hotel itself was perfectly fine, especially if you know what to expect. The hotel doesn't take cash, so be aware. The room itself was clean and functional. Nothing extra in the room; no tea and coffee, no fridge, or safe or iron or anything "extra", so again, just be aware. Check in and out was quick and painless.

Comfortable beds, easy self check-in, but there is someone on site if needed. Communal area for making coffee, food with coffee machines dispensing coffee for a small fee. Everything we needed for an overnight in Helsinki. Would stay again.

A great budget hotel. Short tram ride from the Central Station, lots of food and groceries nearby. Self check-in needed a texted code which I hadn’t received, but staff was in the office and came quickly to work it out. No breakfast but there is an eating area and kitchen (fridges, microwaves, coffee machine$, dish ware and cutlery to take as needed) and a self-serve laundry$ adjacent. Room is compact but everything worked well and it was spotless. One of the streets beside the hotel is under construction but not noisy at all. I would highly recommend.

Basic but good
For somewhere basic, central and clean, it’s a good stay. I wasn’t in the room much and it was well connected. No real amenities apart from vending machines and communal coffee machines, but you’re aware of that before you arrive. Would have liked a safe in the room for passport, etc, but not a huge issue at all

A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT AND A LITTLE BIT FABULOUS!
When I arrived, I was surprised that we had to check ourselves in using a touchscreen. To keep prices low, there is usually only one person on duty and they are always happy to help out with anything. The property is only a few months old so everything is brand new and you could still smell the new carpet. Rooms were way more spacious than I was expecting. The bed was incredibly comfortable and the bathroom was a very generous size with a large shower recess. The hotel is located in a fantastic position not far from Central Station. There is a Metro Station right next door and a fantastic bar named Padre also right next door. One thing which I loved is the hotel does have its own laundry. Fully automated (credit cards only) and less than €5 per load including detergent. The kitchen is fairly well equipped although the only cooking implement is a microwave. Communal fridges are there as well. Located in a safe area. Coffee machines accept credit cards and brew nice coffee. A very different concept to anything I have seen but it worked well and I absolutely loved my stay at this property! Highly recommended!

Sidewalks are currently under construction. Hotel itself is great. Staff is lovely. I was charged for a room night on my reservation that Expedia cancelled. Can't get Expedia or City Box to refund. The usual run around when booking an Expedia reservation that inevitably gets complicated by communication delays between the vendor and the customer. I will never use Expedia for international travel again if I can avoid it.
