Top Lage
Pros:

Die Lage ist unschlagbar. Altstadt, Hafen, Terminal für Fähren nach Helsinki fußläufig in 15min zu erreichen. Haltestelle Bus und Straßenbahn auch gleich um die Ecke, Tram 2 fährt zum Flughafen. Sauberkeit des Zimmers ist gut. Beim Frühstück findet jeder etwas. Das Personal lächelt wirklich kaum, aber man kann nicht sagen, dass es unfreundlich ist. Eher nordisch kühl. Wir können das Hotel wirklich empfehlen.

Cons:

Das Hotel ist halt groß und dementsprechend auch der Frühstücksraum. Wenn Gruppen da sind, ist es schon manchmal etwas laut. Gemütlichkeit in den Raum zu bringen, ist schwierig.
