Hotell Skatudden Helsingfors
Pros:

Bra läge vid Viking Line terminal. Frukosten servererades Marina konferens och därifrån var det en jättefin vy över hamnområdet. Jag kunde checka in kl. 11.00, dock för 20 Euro i tillägg.

Cons:

Som vanligt när det gäller Scandic äggstanningen, kan inte Scandic kedjan förbättra kvaliten på denna produkt.
