Mukava perushotelli.
Pros:

Huone oli tilava ja siisti.

Cons:

Parkkihalli todella ahdas ja sinne oli hankala löytää. Aamupala ylihintainen.

Ich werde immer wieder hier buchen, wenn ich einen sehr frühen oder späten Flug habe.
Pros:

Mir gefällt wie immer die Ruhe und die Lage. Spät nachts angekommen und von Pasila Bahnhof ins Hotel in 4 Minuten gelaufen (Unterführung nutzen!). Diesmal fand ich das Personal an der Rezeption besonders freundlich. Danke für ein herzliches Willkommen nach einem langen Anreisetag! Ich liebe die Zimmergestaltung und die Betten!

Cons:

Man könnte die Badezimmertür (besonders innen) in die Putzroutine mit aufnehmen, dann wäre es perfekt.

Pros:

Hyvä aamupala, ystävällinen henkilökunta

Cons:

Konsertin jälkeen klo 22 aulabaari oli kiinni. Tarjoilu vain respan kautta. Myyntiä olisi ollut varmasti nykyistä enemmän. Pysäköintiohkeostus oli muuttunut. Siitä ei tullut mitään lisätietoa. Aularavintolassa homma ei oikein toiminut, olisikohan ollut liian monta uutta työntekijää ilman opastajaa

Pros:

Huone oli todella siisti ja viihtyisä. Mikä tietenkin tärkeintä.

Cons:

Yleiset tilat nuhruiset. Aamupalahuone muistutti työmaaruokalaa.

Pros:

Hyvä sijainti ihan Pasilan juna-aseman lähellä. Huoneet siistit ja modernit.

Cons:

Aamupala ei ihan yltänyt esim Sokos hotellin tasolle, mutta oli oikein hyvä kuitenkin.
