Pros:

The hotel was clean. Since we were looking for halal-friendly options, the staff brought us a special vegetarian menu. They prepared a breakfast package for us because we had to check out at 4 a.m. The rooms were very spacious; we recommend it.

Täydellistä meille.
Pros:

Hotelli Katajanokka on suosikkihotellimme Helsingissä. Sijainti hyvä ja kaikki muukin juuri täydellistä meille. Rustiikki ja silti yksinkertainen sisustus juuri sopiva. Eroaa kaikista muista hotelleista ja on siis hyvin persoonallinen.

Cons:

Mitään kielteistä ei ollut.

Pros:

хотелът е много интересен, бивш затвор, на много удобно място за хора , които идват и си отиват с ферибот. Закуската беше много вкусна, имаше всичко за всеки. Предимството е че има и вечеря, супа, основно и салати.

Cons:

Няма хладилник

Pros:

Výborná poloha hotelu v centru Helsinek u přístavu nedaleko West Terminal 2 a tradiční fika 😋 po příjezdu do hotelu a opravdu výtečná snídaně👍. Parking na 24 hod. za 23,-EUR ve dvoře hotelu byl super.

Cons:

Polopenze neodpovídala pozitivním recenzím! K večeři jen polévka, několik druhů salátů s pečivem a pouze 1 hlavní jídlo (chilli con carne) bylo poněkud málo 👎. Z večeře jsme byli celkem zklamaní. Stoly byly ulepené…
