次も必ずここを予約するでしょう。
Pros:

親切で清潔で美味しい食事が提供されます。宿周辺でゆっくり過ごす方にはうってつけ。食事はバイキング形式で朝夕と、おやつにりんごのケーキがつきました。ドリンクも飲み放題。
食事も毎日少しずつ違って飽きませんでした。ほんとに素晴らしい宿です。

Cons:

お風呂が慣れるまで苦労します。シャワーは外に飛び散るし、湯船は深くて高いので、出入りは気をつけて！
でも、湯量は十分。この前の宿はシャワーだけだったので、ゆっくりお湯に浸かれました。

Erittäin viihtyisä
Pros:

Persoonallinen paikka, hienosti entisöity ja säilytetty vankilan tunnelma, upea porraskäytävä, erittäin hyvä majoituksen hintaan sisältyvä päivällinen

Cons:

Pesuhuoneen lattialämmitystä ei pystynyt säätämään. Lattia oli liian lämmin.

Pros:

L'hotel è veramente particolare, accogliente e forse la cosa più bella di Helsinki insieme alla biblioteca, se non ci si soggiorna meriterebbe una visita!! I letti sono meravigliosi, si dorme veramente bene, la colazione è abbondante! L'angolo tisana ti fa sentire a casa.

Cons:

La cena è a buffet.

Ein schöner Aufenthalt
Pros:

Die Lage ist perfekt für einen Städte Besuch . Das Personal ist immer für einen da und sehr freundlich. Wir würden es trotz kleiner Mängel wieder buchen .

Cons:

Wir wussten das man keine Fenster öffnen kann deswegen haben wir extra eines der wenigen gebucht mit Fenster zum öffnen, nur das war ein komplett veraltetes Zimmer so das wir nach einer Nacht doch ein normales Zimmer bekommen haben. Beim Abendessen könnte man ein bisschen mehr auf Qualität und Abwechslung achten.

Pros:

Ein Hotel in einem ehemaligen Gefängnis, diese Idee wurde perfekt umgesetzt. Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen, gutes Frühstück und Abendessen, sehr gute Verkehrsanbindung zu den öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln. Ruhige Lage und ein Spaziergang zur baltischen See.

Cons:

Wir waren im 4. Stock und konnten leider kein Fenster öffnen.
