Super séjour dans un appartement très bien situé à proximité de la gare centrale, d’un centre commercial, de la cathédrale et du ferry. L’appartement est très bien équipé, confortable et propre. Nous recommandons ce lieu sans hésiter.

Great sized apartment minutes from the station and city centre. We booked a room with a sauna which we enjoyed using. The only small drawbacks were: the luggage room which was a glorified broom cupboard with no way to secure luggage as any guests can access the room; limited kitchen supplies compared to other similar apartments I've stayed in; and the whatsapp chat function was AI generated so difficult to get a real answer to questions - this was not a major issue for us but if we'd had a real problem I would have been concerned about how to get it resolved.

Location is perfect. The room was clean and beds comfortable. However our room wasn’t ready when it was check in time. The cleaner was still there and couldn’t communicate with either English or Finnish. Finally using google translate found out it would take another hour to get the room ready for us. However even with that I would definitely stay there again.

The apartment was close to all the sights and restaurants. It had everything you might need for your stay - washing machine/dryer/drying racks/iron/all the kitchen crockery and cooking equipment (we only did tea and toast). Even access to gym and yoga mats (if that’s your thing). There was a lift (the apartment was on the 5th floor) with a few steps at the entrance. I’d definitely recommend.

Good location, not far from the train station and trams. Supermarkets nearby and shopping centres close. Easy walking distance to Market Square and Senate Square. The bedroom in the apartment was quite small. Not a lot of space between the bed and the wall. The bathroom was also small. The sitting area and kitchen were a good size. No storage area for clothing other than hanging space. Very quiet street, no noise from outside.

Nice amenities, like washer/dryer and dishwasher. The sauna was amazing (once we figured out how to turn it on). The apartment was clean. Public transport very close, as well as a coffeehouse across the street.
What was a bit confusing was the way the lighting worked, hard to find the right settings, and looking at the worn state of some switches, we weren’t the first to struggle.

We loved the sauna and washing machine in the room. Lot of space for my wife/2 year old. I work remotely and was able to work at night while they were asleep in a different room, which make things way better. We cooked each night in the room. Location is great, walk to Central Market is 10 minutes (15 if you walk slower). Clean, modern, cares about the environment which is huge for us, and all around a great Boutique Hotel mixed with an Apartment atmosphere. Great idea. I wish the USA had places like this. Thanks, Bobby Dubs.

We arrived in a heat wave so were glad to have air conditioning. Unfortunately it was broken in all but the furthest room, making it similar to sleeping in a sauna. At first they acted surprised, but the fans already in the room and similar complaints overheard in the elevator show that this is a well known issue that is not being disclosed or resolved. Until resolved, find another place to stay during summer months.

Lighting is also a puzzle that we never solved. Motion sensors and light switches managed multiple lights in other areas of the apartment. I learned to kill the main master switch and walk around using my phone as a light source so I didnt wake others late at night. This has obviously been an issue for others as I see tape residue on the ceiling near some of the motion sensors.

If you expect privacy while in bed, do not take the bedroom off the entry hall. The bed blocks the door from shutting. Since thisnis thenonly room with a working air conditioner, it was bybfar the best option. Unfortunately, it is too remote from the rest of the aprtment to allow that air conditioner to help others.

Overall, a nice place in a good location. That being said, I would never stay here again based on the significant lighting and comfort issues, coupled with the feigned surprise when trying to resolve them.

Professional and helpful service

It was really an amazing experience to us.
The first room I booked was meant for 4 pax with sauna, the layout of the room is not great and with the sofa bed set up, the living room hanging light seems to be out of the way and we kept knocking into it.
However, my friend has a last minute change of their travelling plan and needed to leave earlier. Hence we contacted Bob W to request to down-size our room. They are very helpful and professional, helped us to check availability and assisted us to change to another room meant for 2 on our remaining nights.
This room although is slightly smaller without sauna, we like the layout of the room much better, it is spacious and comfortable.

Though, we didnt have heating working all well, and then communication is a bit hard, since we just received generated mails, but not a personal feed back on the heating issue. But we managed, the weather wasnt freezing yet. All in all, a lovely stay.

Not what I expected.

I reserved a penthouse apartment with sauna. The sauna did not work, communication was only one way, manager never responded, there was a floor plank that was rolling up and became a hazard because it was in the middle of the room and we tripped several times. The double size sofa bed is not a double, more like a wide twin, with a bar underside that was very uncomfortable.

This is a great place to stay! Being very close to the central station made meeting friends extremely convenient. Every comfort had been considered; the premium bed sheets, classic chairs, and sauna were brilliant. The kitchen was new and quite good. The lighting was also nice and relaxing with plenty of control. One simple, fixable issue we encountered was the dining table having uneven legs, making it a bit wobbly. Overall, everything was great and we wish we could stay there longer.

We had a great stay with Bob and really loved the personal touch with the handwritten message, whatsapp to stay in touch, chocolates, polaroid. Everything we needed was provided and it felt like a home stay. When there were issues, the staff were responsive and settled them quickly. We could also store our luggage in the luggage room before or after checkout using a code which was great for our late night train.

Location was good, with a metro station and supermarket just round the corner and a short walk to the railway station. We could also walk to senate square and esplanadi easily or take the tram.

If there was anything to nitpick, the shower area was not enclosed so the water may flow out to the dry area but nothing significant to affect our stay. Will highly recommend and try out Bob apartments in other cities if i have the chance 😄

I booked the Finnish Design Penthouse for one night and liked the apartment so much that I wished I could stay longer. It was exactly what I was looking for: a modern Nordic-style apartment, with all the amenities you'd expect in your second home, and in a great location on a quieter side street but still within a quick walk from all parts of downtown Helsinki.

After booking the stay, there was a quick check-in process online, and I got the door code that allowed access to the building and the apartment during my stay. There was also a personal online mini-portal with information about access to a gym, wifi password, and other useful details.

The apartment was clean, quiet, thoughtfully decorated, and equipped with all the kitchen and bathroom amenities to make even a demanding traveler happy. The air conditioning kept the place cool even during a hot late-summer day, and in the morning it was nice to shut off the AC, open the windows, and let in the morning breeze. I really liked how much the place felt like a second home and not a hotel room.

The only minor downside was that the bed was so big that there wasn't very much room on either side of it—not even for a nightstand. This wasn't a surprise, though, since the bedroom was exactly how it had looked like in the pictures when I viewed the property online before booking.
