Pros:

The hotel is located very close to the ferry port, which is ideal for those arriving from a different city. The hotel is in the process of being renovated. I was upgraded into their newly refurbished room, which was lovely and had a view of the sea.

Cons:

As the hotel is in the process of being renovated, you have to walk across the street into building. Where they have breakfast. Overall, it's not unpleasant, it just is slightly out of the way.

Pros:

Sijainti oli erittäin hyvä, lyhyt siirtyminen aamulla laivaan. Erittäin rauhallinen huone.

Cons:

Aluksi huone oli liian viileä. Tyynyt vähän liian kovat vanhemmalle väelle.

Great location and breakfast
Pros:

Breakfast was great but unfortunately building works were happening and the hotel was fully disrupted . The gym was not assessable during the day and this was a key point of booking hotel

Cons:

Not being told about building works
The room service did not replace used cups or replace tea and coffee

Hyvä hotelli Katajanokan laivaterminaalin käyttäjille.
Pros:

Sijainti aivan laivaterminaalin vieressä.

Cons:

Yleisten tilojen ja huonekerrosten hämäryys. Nykytyyliin remontoiminen on tarpeen.

Bija labi, noteikti atgriezīsimies!
Pros:

Patika pagaidu brokastu vieta - lielisks skats pa logu, plaša telpa, kur viesi viens otram netraucē. Liela ēdienu izvēle un ļoti garšīgi! Paldies.

Cons:

Nav iespēja atvērt logu. Nemaz!!! Man tas sākotnēji izraisīja mērenu klaustrofobisku paniku. Esmu pieradusi nakšnot ar atvēru logu, kaut vai 10 cm.

Для короткой остановки в Хельсинки вполне то, что надо.
Pros:

Хороший большой отель в шаговой доступности от терминала Katanajokka (Viking Line, прибывающие из Таллинна).
Отличный скандинавский завтрак. На ресепшен можно круглосуточно купить напитки и перекусы (довольно большой выбор) - это удобно.
Отель расположен близко как к терминалу порта, так и к центру города. До рыночной площади, с которой отходят прогулочные катера (в т.ч. на остров с зоопарком Коркеасаари) и на которой находится колесо обозрения и прибрежные общественные сауны, пять минут ходьбы. Ещё пять минут пешком вперёд, за рыночную площадь, и дойдёте до парка Эспланады, универмага Стокманн, Сенатской площади, центральной торговой улицы Алексантеринкату. А ещё через пять минут ходьбы - до центрального ж/д вокзала. Остановки трамваев есть уже и у парка, и у вокзала. Так что от отеля нет никакой необходимости брать такси в центр (ну если только не любите ходить пешком;), всё в 15-20 минутах досягаемости спокойной пешей прогулкой.

Cons:

Сейчас в отеле идёт масштабная реновация. Особых неудобств это не причиняет (всё чисто, работы ведутся аккуратно), но надо с этим считаться. Завтрак поэтому в соседнем конференц-центре, через дорогу (15 метров), зато с видом на паромы (окна прямо на воду) - красиво;)

В номерах очень маленькие окна (узкие вертикальные) - такая архитектура здания (видимо бывшие портовые склады, переделанные когда-то в отель). Немного маловато дневного света в комнате из-за этого.

В комнате не было никакого шкафа (вообще), только полки и вешалки. Такая мода нынче пошла, мне это не по душе.
