排水以外は文句なしで良かったです。次回ヘルシンキへ旅行するとしてもここを選ぶとおもいます。
Pros:

場所は最高です。駅からのアクセスがよく、荷物も預かってもらえるので、朝早く到着した場合も助かります。また、部屋は広く清潔で、駅の隣でしたがとても静かで快適でした。

Cons:

シャワーと洗面台の排水が悪かったのだけが残念でした。洗面台は排水のカバーをずらして水が流れるようにしましたが、シャワーの排水はどうしようもなく、しばらく流れるまで待つ必要がありました。

Ótima estadia
Pros:

Gostei sobretudo da localização muito central que permite percorrer a pé muitas das atrações.
Pequeno almoço farto e variado.

Cons:

Não gostei de não poder abrir a janela do quarto e de ter que manter as cortinas fechadas para salvaguardar a privacidade, pois a janela dava para outros quartos.
