Fantastic stay
Pros:

Our suite with a balcony was a lovely experience and I don't know if I want to live life without a shopping mall in the basement anymore!

Cons:

One of the faucets had a low water pressure and the sofa bed mattress was a bit uneven, but nothing major.

Super hôtel pour un séjour à Helsinki
Pros:

Très bel hôtel avec une chambre spacieuse et propre; un excellent petit déjeuner; une salle de sport; un sauna et même des limonades à disposition.

Cons:

L’hôtel est un peu décentré et il y a des petits bruits blancs dans la chambre

Pros:

Hotelli kokonaisuudessaan hyvä.

Cons:

Bookingin mainoksesta. Sain sen käsityksen, että aamiainen kuuluu huoneen hintaan. Ei kuulunut. Korostakaa mainonnassanne, ettei aamiainen kuulu tähän hintaan, vaan se pitää maksaa erikseen. Booking oli pettymys. Hotelli ei.

Budget style rooms but great location
Pros:

We arrived around 1pm. Apparently check in is not until 4pm and to get into your room earlier, despite it being ready for occupation, there was a €20 charge. Never had that before, but we paid up just to get access.

We were on Floor 5. The twin room was cheaply appointed and no kettle or tea & coffee in the room. There was a good sized free to use safe. Small pay for mini bar. Bathroom had a walk-in shower and okay toiletries. Good quality sheets and not bad towels. We each had a tiny, tiny bed side table. Hardly enough room for a glass of water to rest on. Lighting not particularly bright.

You need to book a breakfast time slot at check in or do it online each day. The breakfast was surprisingly good for such a large hotel with plenty of choices, both hot and cold. Lovely wait staff too.

Excellent location. You can get the hotel lift directly down to the Kampii Shopping Centre which also has a plethora of eateries, and a K Supermarket. The trams stop right outside the hotel and we made good use of Tram 2 which goes to Market Square. It is no more a 10 minute walk to the Central Train Station for trains to the airport and further afield. Public transport is first class and easy to use.

The hotel is in a great location and a good choice if you don’t mind the rooms’ budget decor. (Five stars for location & breakfast but only 2.5 for the room itself.)
