Bra hotell i en fin stad!
Pros:

Trevligt rum och trevlig personal vid incheckningen!

Cons:

Stor och bullrig frukostmatsal och låg kvalitet på frukosten ( tex för lite fruktsallad och pålägg) för att vara ett så högklassigt hotell.

Pros:

The bed is extremely comfortable and enjoyed the vibe of the place very relaxing. Would definitely recommend it!

Pros:

Kaikinpuolin hyvä. Siisti ja asiallinen hotelli

Cons:

Hidas ja ruuhkainen sisäänkirjautuminen. Automaatteja oli kyllä ja monta virkailijaa. Mutta automaatit eivät löytäneet varaustani useasta yrityksestä ja ohjauksesta huolimatta

Beautiful hotel with wonderful selection at breakfast.
Pros:

A stunning hotel with a small swimming pool and sauna. The breakfast was wonderful - lots of local things to try amongst more familiar items.
The bedroom was very comfortable for 3 of us (2 adults and a 6 month old baby), and the location was great for walking into central Helsinki. We got a taxi from the airport (£51 for a people carrier) but know the train station is very near to this hotel.

Cons:

We partly booked this hotel so we could use the swimming pool and sauna - sadly the pool was quite cold, and the saunas were only heated during the evenings. There were great changing facilities though, so we had known the opening times before we wouldn't have minded so much.

Miniloma Helsingissä
Pros:

Hotellin ja hotellihuoneen sijainti sekä näkymät olivat todella hyvät. Kaikki muukin sujui aika mallikkaasti.

Cons:

Tyyny olisi ehkä voinut olla niskalleni sopivampi. Mutta se oli pikkujuttu. Hyvin nukutti.
