We loved our stay at the hotel. The location was perfect, the staff was wonderful and our room was very nice. The complementary breakfast was fantastic with so many choices. We had dinner in the dining room and both the service and food were excellent. I can’t imagine finding a hotel in Helsinki with better value for the money. It really set the tone for our trip to Helsinki.

Fabulous as always, the superior room with the balcony was excellent: quiet, lovely and big, excellent light and a nice walk in shower well worth paying extra for. All hotel amenities were great, towels, robe slippers etc. Great sauna available free in the evenings or morning. Breakfast was superb, such a big selection and lovely views from the 10th floor. The location of this hotel is fantastic and allows ease of use for all of the city, easy to find straight out of the airport/ train to city with no real walking distance with luggage in the snow this is a bonus! 100% would recommend.
