Bella Helsinki ma non l’hotel
Pros:

La posizione a due passi dal centro.

Cons:

Esperienza pessima: pulizia inesistente e servizio carente.
Soggiornare 6 notti e doversi ridurre ad elemosinare la pulizia della stanza è inaccettabile. Per tre giorni consecutivi la camera non è mai stata toccata, se non dopo i miei continui e quotidiani solleciti in reception.
Come se non bastasse, il servizio si è rivelato del tutto superficiale: la polvere a terra e sotto la scrivania non è mai stata pulita in tutta la settimana, accumulandosi vertiginosamente.
Disattenzione totale verso l'ospite e standard igienici imbarazzanti. Struttura sconsigliatissima.

Pros:

Läget ok.
Frukost ok.

Cons:

Simbassängen stängde under dagen,?! vilket gjorde att jag som ville simma måste trängas med män som absolut skulle träningssimma och små barn som inte kunde simma på kvällstid....dessutom en ganska liten pool.
För få duschar.
Sängmadrassen alltför mjuk och otymplig och alltför varma sängkläder under en varm sommar då man inte heller kunde öppna fönstren.
