Great location within easy walk from the ferry and to Old Town. The rooms were clean and well maintained. Beds were very comfortable and the showers were great.

The crowning jewel was their breakfast buffet!! I would stay again just for that.

It’s a very nice hotel so I’m being picky. When I checked in I arranged for the room to be cleaned but in 3 days housekeeping did not visit our room. I can’t work out why this was !!
Just a suggestion but if you are walking from the centre of Helsinki the pedestrian entrance is completely on the wrong side of the hotel. You have to walk completely round the hotel to get in. I’m sure that there could be an entrance on the opposite side.
Apart from that all aspects of the hotel are excellent and the few queries we had ( like please can we have clean towels) were dealt with very efficiently

This is a terrific, and very central hotel in Helsinki. Kiasma Museum and the Moomin shop (as well as lots of other shopping, museums, and great cafes and restaurants) are a quick walk.

The hotel itself is clean, well-cared for, with good breakfasts. Highly recommend bringing a swimsuit for the pool and sauna.

Staff are all super friendly and helpful!

Great location - walking distance to the main railway station and Metro but a Very corporate hotel much more suited to business stays so not the best experience for us for a number of reasons.
Check in took ages and I was charged again for a pre-paid reservation which then took another visit and another 10 minutes to resolve (i think it was resolved - will be checking my CC as it was all a bit vague).
They don't clean the rooms until day 3 (you can ask we discovered) - that's OK but would have expected more from a hotel at this price point and * rating. Certainly replacing towels given there is no heated towel rail so using damp towels is not great. Also no replacement tea/coffee felt a bit penny pinching.
Breakfast was OK but I wouldn't say brilliant. For starters trying to get a seat in the Canteen like breakfast room was a challenge - too many tables for 6 and 8 which may work for midweek conferences but didn't feel right for a weekend leisure stay. Seemed to always be out of milk. You have to pay extra for anything except filter coffee. And closing time means closing time - everything is whisked away on the dot and you feel pressured to get out.
Our Superior Room was nice but a king bed was 2 singles and 2 duvets so again not quite what we had in mind for a romantic leisure trip.

Swimming pool (and sauna) only open mornings till 10 am and evenings 5-9.30, receptionist could not explain why (we understand about the sauna).

Everyone were very nice and friendly and I really appreciated how the staff made an effort to speak Swedish with me. :) One strange thing though was how the people in the bar first ignored us and then later told us to go somewhere else as the bar closed at 22(?) instead of informing us that there was a self service bar in the lobby.

Das Hotel ist überall sehr sauber und auch die Sauna und der Pool sind ordentlich.
Jedoch ist das Hotel auf der einen Seite recht modern (z.B. Zimmer sind frisch Renoviert) aber auf der anderen etwas altmodisch und der Pool und Sauna Bereich könnte eine Renovierung vertragen.

Das Frühstück ist international aufgestellt, jedoch besteht nicht sonderlich viel Auswahl (Eine Käsesorte, eine Sorte Schinken und eine Sorte Salami). Die Kaffeemaschinen haben nur Filterkaffee und Espresso und andere Kaffeesorten können zwar bestellt werden, aber nur gegen Aufpreis.

Was mir bei der Buchung nicht bewusst war, ist dass der Roomservice nur alle 3 Tage stattfindet. Das finde ich zu lange und vor allem wenn man das Fitnessstudio und den Pool nutzt, will ich nicht 3 Tage lang das selbe Handtuch benutzen.

This hotel was really great. The location was central and the pool and sauna were great. Hotel is slightly dated but that sort of gave it charm. The hotel doesn't really have a bar open past 9pm so that was a bit of a bummer when looking for a night cap post dinner. Overall, we were very happy and it was a great hotel to end our trip with.

A great location - close to the train station, and many museums, restaurants, etc. within walking distance. The breakfast buffet was varied and substantial. The hotel sauna and pool were very nice. Only quibble re: the use of the sauna. They request going totally nude, but if one wants to have a dip in the pool to cool off, what is wrong with wearing a swim suit inside?

Our stay was very middle of the road - there was a long line for check-in with paper check-in forms, breakfast was a very cheap buffet with large crowds and very few local items, the bar had poor drink options and service. On the positive side, the hotel is centrally located and the rooms appear to be somewhat recently remodeled (albeit with cheap outdoor-type carpet).

チェックイン前の荷物はカードキーを渡され、自分で保管スペースに入れる仕組み。
フロントスタッフも親切です。
ツアー利用の日本人観光客も多いためか、チェックインシートの記入見本が日本語で用意されていました。
連泊の場合は3日目に掃除が入ると説明を受けましたが、希望を伝えると毎日やってもらえます。
水回りの清掃、リネン類の交換、ゴミの回収は毎日やってもらえましたが、床の清掃だけは毎日ではありませんでした。
客室にはポットや冷蔵庫など必要な物がほぼ揃っており、ハンガーも沢山あり、掛ける場所もあったので洗濯物を干すのに役立ちました。
バスルームも清潔で、シャンプー類がルメネだったので使い心地も香りも良かったです。
朝食はフィンランドのホテルによくある普通の感じですが、美味しかったです。
あとフロント横に電子レンジがあったので、自由に使えて便利でした。
ホテルの1階、入り口から外にぐるっと反対側に回ると日本人とフィンランド人のご夫婦がされているお土産屋さんがあるので、ここでまとめてお土産が買えるのも良かったです。
