paljon unta ja mukavaa oloilua.
Pros:

sijainti oli aivan mahtava ja aamupala ihana. kumppanikin vitsaili että huomaakohan henkilökunta jos käy kaksi kertaa aamun aikana syömässä XD pidin siitä että pystyi seurata maailman menoa huoneen ikkunasta. sänky oli todella mukava.

Cons:

löysin hiuksia pitkin vessaa ja pesin huoneen lasit itse kun näyttivät siltä että niitä ei ollut vaiihdettu. kumppani sanoi että kampin äänet kuuluivat hieman liian hyvin huoneeseen.

Cons:

Vierestö ajava raitiovaunu piti erittäin kovaa ääntä. Ruuhka-aikaan check in kesti tajuttoman kauan, koska respassa oli vain kaksi ihmistä töissä. Olisi voinut olla sujuvampaa

Pros:

Läget

Cons:

Kuddarna!

Möjligheten att förvara sitt bagage i lobbyn finns och det är bra!
MEN- vemsomhelst kan uppge att de har bagage där… det finns ingen koll alls/inget kvitto eller liknande. Inte heller att det kopplas till ens bokning. Kändes INTE bra.

Viikonloppureissu
Pros:

Siisti, mukava huone. Erinomainen, keskeinen sijainti. Parkkeeraus onnistu hallissa.

Cons:

Aamiaisella pekoni erittäin rasvaista, puoliksi käristettyä ja munakokkeli vetistä.
Piti esittää lääkärintodistus, että sai toisen aamiaisen pienemmällä hinnalla ja asiasta joutui vääntämään.

Pros:

Aamiainen kohtalainen mutta vähän sottaiset ruokapöytien pinnat.

Cons:

Muualla Euroopassa hotellien aamiaisravintoloissa on kahviautomaatteja, joista saa erilaisia kahveja kuten esim. kofeiinitonta kahvia. Scandic voisi harkita sellaisten automaattien käyttöön ottoa - kiitos.

Perfect hotel for a weekend break in Helsinki
Pros:

The hotel was in a great location for enjoying the city on foot and public transport was close at hand. The rooms were really comfortable, clean and a decent temperature and we were allocated three rooms together without asking. Breakfast was very good with a nice choice of hot and cold food. At the weekend we had to nominate a time for breakfast but this does not seem to be unusual and was not a problem. We had initially planned an early start on the Sunday and the Receptionist offered to arrange a packed breakfast for us which was a pleasant surprise. The bar area was great as a meeting up point and the beer was good although the bar was shut on Sunday night. The sauna was also closed on Monday morning which was slightly disappointing. We had a really nice stay at the Scandic Simonkentta and would not hesitate to return if we were in Helsinki again.
