Great location in Helsinki
Pros:

This hotel is a perfect spot to stay if you are going to Helsinki! It's just a short walk to the main station, where you can get anywhere in Helsinki in a matter of minutes. The breakfast was delicious! The beds could have been a little more comfortable, but otherwise this was a great place to stay! There are tons of food options and shopping in this area.

Cons:

My only complaint, and I think it's a Scandic hotel thing, is that you have to pay for coffee. I think for the cost of the hotel, a simple thing like a cup of coffee should be included, not $4.

Pros:

Struttura accogliente, pulita, personale, molto gentile. le camere nella media

Cons:

Purtroppo ho preso una tripla e il terzo letto consisteva in una poltrona letto molto scomoda. Questa è l’unica pecca che ho trovato nella struttura.

Pros:

Great location and amenities for price. Private sauna and balcony were perfect. Bed comfortable. Easy walking distance to everything.

Cons:

Lighting all connected with the switch by the bed being main control, made it confusing to turn individual lights on and off but not really a big issue.
