Grandioses Hotel mit Stil, Service und Freundlichkeit
Pros:

Es war einer der besten Erfahrungen und Aufenthalte, die man sich in Helsinki vorstellen kann. Tolles Ambiente mit Geschichte, Service und Personal top, in Halbpension ein fantastisches Essen, sauber und sehr zuvorkommend. Auch der Standort ist unschlagbar. Fussläufig zu Restaurants, Bars, Sehenswürdigkeiten und wenn man doch lieber fahren möchte, ist die Tram 4 direkt vor der Tür. Ebenso ist es ein sehr tierfreundliches Hotel und auch für Hunde ist das Willkommen spürbar. (Leckerlies beim Check-in, Wassernapf aufs Zimmer, „Hundeschild“ an der Zimmertür) Wir hatten eine wunderschöne Zeit und danke an das gesamte Team für diesen unvergesslichen Urlaub! Wir empfehlen euch überall weiter und kommen sehr gerne wieder.

Unique stay you won't forget. Excellent staff.
Pros:

The check-in staff were the best we have experienced, they went out of their way to find us the best room. The hotel is an incredible fusion of the old prison facility with a modern twist. We loved the 'hygge' elements, including the lounge room with a fireplace and board games next to the reception room. There are comfortable couches around the facility to stop and play board games. The included breakfast, hygge (afternoon tea) and dinner were a cosy addition. We loved our stay here!

Cons:

Our bathroom had poor drainage. Property is a short tram ride or walk to the centre of town (this wasn't an issue for us, but good to know if you have mobility issues).
