Our stay was better than expected. It's a very short walk from the train station and they were very helpful. Beautiful hotel. The breakfast was worth staying for. Really good food that was the right temp and again the staff did anything asked.
Whenever I go back to Helsinki I WILL be staying here again.
Really beautiful hotel, good location right by the train station and yet at night you don't hear a thing.
Amazing service, and breakfast is really good too. Fresh from the oven
Beautiful hotel centrally located near shopping, restaurants, and other attractions. Friendly staff. The most delicious breakfast buffet with traditional Finnish foods offered.
Overall, good experience and service. Our room had left over food under the desk which I’m assuming cleaning staff did not see, but the room was nicely sized, nicely designed and the experience was overall decent.
Really amazing location. Close to the main streets and main station. Breakfast was amazing, very complete and varied. Rooms were always cozy and warm and very comfortable.
Location was great, we walked to most of the places we wanted to visit; only downside Uber doesn’t have an exact pin, so I had to message them everytime to pick us from the hotel entrance.
Check-in and out could be done online and our room was ready at 3pm (even though usual check-in is 4pm and we didn’t land till past 4). Leaving the hotel just meant dropping off the keycards too.
Superior room was spacious and bed was comfortable. I was expecting a bathtub as listed, but there was only a rain shower. We only housekept our room alternate days, yet they left our used tea cups unwashed, so that was a little unpleasant.
The common sauna was wonderful though with fresh towels, shower amenities and lockers. Gym was well equipped.
Breakfast was quite the spread, but the same everyday. I only had it for 3 days and the scrambled eggs were yummy, so no complaints.
Loved the look … other than the carpet looking a little worn a few places (to be expected in a hotel) it reminded me of the grand hotels of days gone by! The rooms were spacious and quiet, the breakfast was plentiful with lots of charming nooks to sit and eat. Convenient to the train station. I didn’t get to check out the spa/sauna areas.
