  Convenient

  Hotel was convenient as close to Central Station and a short walk straight ahead as you go out entrance doors to the older part of Helsinki which is by far more interesting then the hoards of shops where the hotel is. There is also a Flying Experience down on the Port which is very good. Check in was quick, only thing I’d booked a standard king room then to be told that it was in the other building but we could ‘upgrade’ for 20Euros. We declined as we were only there 2 nights and wasn’t going to spend much time in our room anyway. Its a bit of a hassle getting there, you go up to the third floor in the first lift, get out and walk along the corridor turn right then walk through a glass tunnel to the other building then you have to get into another lift that will then take you up to the other levels, we were on the 6th floor. It took a bit of getting used to and could cause problems if you have mobility issues. Having said that this building did seem quieter. Once you’ve opened the door it was quite dark and we struggled to find the card holder to be able to put a light on so had to use my phone torch. Normally they are just inside the door but this one was further along past the bathroom door. Room was clean and comfortable but like others have said quite dark lighting. We did find the room quite cold , we tried to up the thermostat temperature but felt like it was blowing out cold air and nothing seemed to work. In hindsight we should have contacted reception but didn’t bother but mentioned this on check out only to be told the instructions are on the TV! Underfloor heating in the bathroom was nice on your feet though. This is a very busy and can be quite a noisy Hotel, lots of groups of people when we were there and so the restaurant was very noisy. Breakfast like most have said was split into 3 areas, the usual breakfast area, an omelette area and a waffle making area. We only had breakfast 1 day (2nd day we had early flight so they gave us a packed breakfast which was nice) and it was very busy, they do ask you on check in what time slot you want but I’d say all time slots would be busy. Staff seemed friendly and helpful, check in for some seemed to take a while but we were lucky I guess.

  Excellent location and cost-benefit

  A central hotel, right on the corner of Mannerheimintie and Lönnrotinkatu, from where there is easy walking access to the main tourist attractions of Helsinki. The room was quite spacious for three people, not to mention its restaurant and breakfast... excellent. Don't miss trying the salmon soup at the hotel restaurant, one of the tastiest in the city!

  Great stay, despite one minor detail!

  I stayed in a windowless room and was highly satisfied with it—it was quiet and comfortable. The bathroom was super stylish, and both check-in and check-out went incredibly smoothly. Superb location—smack in the middle of the city center, right opposite Svenska Teatern! A huge plus was that they let me leave my bags. The only downside is the complete lack of visible Swedish at the hotel, which is disappointing since Finland is a bilingual country. Highly recommended overall!
