Very good value for money, we will definitely go to the same hotel if we travel to Nordic countries. Very clean, modern and friendly staff.
Afshin, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent hotel and really helpful staff.

My only grip is, the porridge at breakfast was only luke warm and very thick, the beans were also luke warm, i didn't eat any other hot food at breakfast, therefore i don't know if all the hot food wasn't very hot.
Mrs E, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

One of my top 3 favorite hotels! And definitely my favorite in Helsinki. The location is so convenient, unmatched breakfast (yum!!), loved the sauna and the room decor. 100% will always recommend to friends and family. Can’t wait to go back!
Jessica, 2-night trip

A pleasant surprise in the center of Helsinki

+ friendly staff + great breakfast (lot of options, eg. ice coffee with oat milk), delicious porridge + nice hallways + surprisingly quiet - we had made online check-in but still had to queue to get the room key - the bathroom had a light on at all times - not that convenient during the night
