Staff was outstanding, both personable and helpful. And the breakfast layout and food quality was very good. Room was small but clean and in very good condition. I am a walker and got to city center easily that way, though trams went right by the hotel, and Uber made a very quick pickup when I used it to get to the airport. The only thing that I would have liked otherwise is a gym.

This hotel is far from the Helsinki city center! You will have to take a 30 minute tram ride to get to where most would go in the city! Be prepared to spend taxi and tram money!

I would highly recommend staying somewhere else if you are coming to the Finnish capitol as a tourist or for business! The front desk staff found it amusing when I pointed this out!

Basic hotel, a tram ride from the sights and city

This hotel is OK. It's a tram ride from the sights.
The decor in the room I stayed in was plain and tired. And the bathroom /shower room tiny. There was limited hanging space. The room safe didn't work and was not fixed when I reported it but reception were able to store things for me in their safe.
The staff were helpful always.
Breakfast was pretty good and there was plenty to choose from.
The area around the hotel isn't particularly exciting...
If I went to helsinki again I'd look for a hotel closer to the sights.

It was good value for money by Helsinki standards. The hotel is modest compared to other Cumulus ones. The breakfast room was cramped and breakfast was a bit chaotic. Tram 3 stops outside, although a fit person unburdened by luggage could walk from the city centre. The area is unexciting but not grotty.

Bad experience!!!'

When I tried to check in, I was told that there was no room for me even though I had the guaranteed booking. They said the hotel was fully booked and had to transfer me to another hotel under the same brand. They said they had tried to send me an email informing me on the day that I was supposed to check in. I had never received that \"email\". I had never been to Finland before. This was not definitely not a good first impression.

Really disappointed in the quality of this place. For the price, I did not expect to essentially be back in a college dorm room. It is extremely sparse, bed is not comfortable, room is absolutely tiny, bathroom is so small that I could wash my hands while on the toilet, cleaning service never came in to clean my room. Location is out of the way--25 minutes on a tram to get to the main touristy areas. Front desk is not particularly helpful, pretty misinformed. Would not stay here again.

I visited Helsinki to attend Tuska Festival - this hotel was walking distance from the festival site so was ideal. Breakfast buffet included featuring rye porridge which I'd not had before but rather liked.

\"Inexpensive\" hotel in Helsinki

Hotels in Helsinki are quite expensive. This one was more reasonably priced. The room and bathroom are fairly small, but that wasn't an issue for me even though I am a tall guy. The people at the desk were helpful with directions and advice on what buses or boats to choose. Breakfast was a combination between hot food and continental buffet. I don't get carrot yogurt or ice cream for breakfast but the bread, cheese, and pastries were amazing. My favourite of all was the sauna. Please extend the sauna hours!

Forgot money and it was untouched!!

I had a pleasant stay. The really remarkable thing was that I left over $800 in cash behind by accident (not in the safe. I called when I realized from the airport on my layover, they said they would look. I called back and they found the money untouched. Wow, that's amazing. Really convenient from the main train station, take the 3 tram right to the front door. Good value for the money, small European rooms but clean and constantly hot water. Has a suana in the hotel and a bar connected along with a very decent breakfast. No wifi problems at all and decent TV station selection, double pane windows so quiet. I went in April 2017. I will be going back.

Nice hotel, wonderful staff, good breakfast.

The staff was very helpful and friendly. Both the front desk and the dining room staff were welcoming.

Room was typically small. Nice touches: small room safe; comfortable chair with ottoman.

Breakfast was particularly good. While it had the typical cold cuts, breads, yogurt, coffee/tea/juice, sausages, bacon, scrambled eggs, etc, it had some unusual touches: fruit smoothies; a FROZEN YOGURT machine; a small selection of gluten free foods.

LOCATION - a couple of miles/km to city center but easily reachable by tram. The location was convenient ot Hartwall Arena which was where I needed to go (2.5 km; single bus or 30 min walk). The hotel is also just 2 streets away from the very nice KESKUSPUISTO, (Central Park) which I ran in 3 tmes during my stay.
