Pros:

Hyvä sijainti, siistit huoneet

Cons:

Huoneessa ei ollut vessaharjaa tai hiustenkuivaajaa, mielestäni kuuluvat perustarvikkeisiin hotellihuoneessa.

Kelpo hotelli, josta on lyhyt kävelymatka Pasilan juna-asemalle ja Veikkaus arenalle.
Pros:

Aamiainen oi ihan perushyvä. Bonuksena savulohta ja mustikkamehua. :)

Cons:

Aamiainen tarjoiltiin alakerran ravintolassa, vaikka normaalisti aamiaishuone on 2. kerroksessa. Tämä toki johtui siitä, että aamiaishuone oli varattu pääsykokeille. Respasta unohdettiin kertoa tämä poikkeus, joten harhailimme aamulla toisessa kerroksessa...

Not cheap but a great stay
Pros:

The location was great! As soon as you step out, the tram to the city is waiting for you to hop on. The train station is closeby as well, 2 minute walk, including the Mall of Tripla. I was there for the Comic Con, which was literally next door.

Cons:

It was clean, but it could have been cleaner. The shower floor wasn't always clean as not all my hair was removed and the floor requires a good sweep daily.

Cons:

Köket stängde kl 22 på en fredag kväll. Vi anlände hotellet 21.30 så vi fick oss mat i sista stunden.
Dubbelsäng med 1 stort täcke. Föredrar 2 skilda men de ordnade sig från receptionen. Kunde ligga ett i skåpet på rummet för de som inte önskar att dela täcket

Pros:

Tilat ovat siistit ja toimivat, henkilökunta saatavilla ja ystävällistä. Aamupala oli erittäin hyvä ja monipuolinen. Sängyt ovat mukavat ja hotelli oli hiljainen jopa la-su yönä. Kuitenkin luottohotelli ja hyvä kokemus.

Cons:

Aamupala oli tällä kertaa 2. kerroksessa. Aamupalan laadussa ei ollut mitään moitteita, mutta tila tuntui ahtaalta ja melutaso oli hyvin korkea. Tilaa jonottamiseen ei oikein ollut eri pisteille, pahiten leipätuotteille. Kahvin laadussa ei ollut kehumista.

Pros:

Hyvä sijainti ajatellen triplaa, veikkaus areenaa ja messukeskusta. Siisti hotelli. Aamiaista ei testattu.

Hyvä hotelli
Pros:

Sijainti, siisteys

Cons:

Aamupalalla olisi voinut olla lämpimämmät ruuat ja pekoni paistetumpaa. Lapset myös toivoi jotakin lisää, en tiedä mitä olisivat kaivanneet 😌

Lovely staff
Pros:

The staff were all super helpful and friendly could not fault them.

Cons:

It was difficult to sleep because of mechanical sounds coming from the air conditioning and heating. After a late night and long travel day ahead I needed quiet. The remote control was faulty. Mst of all the hotel charged me more than booking.com quoted. They possibly saw I have a business bank account and thought I was on expenses which I was not!. Please make sure that hotels only charge the price you quoteto me.
