I think this hotel's location is very good. About 10 min walk from railway station, near from one shopping center and some restaurants around there.

It's a big hotel, so many tourists are staying there. We had to wait for elevator many times, Breakfast place is a large room but it was very crowded.

We stayed here for a night. The location was good; about 10min from the railway station, also to go to the center (Stockmann department, other many shops places) about 10 min walk. Very convenient for going everywhere in Helsinki. The hotel room is also good. It isn't new hotel but cleaned well and you can enjoy taking a bubble bath. But there are so many rooms so you should be careful or you might get lost:) Breakfast is also good. Tasty and many kinds of foods. It is buffet type. Many kinds of drinks, bread, cheese, meatball, muesli, salads, deserts etc... We could really enjoy having a breakfast.

The hotel is in the center of Helsinki, at walking distance from the Central Station

In view of the total number of rooms, the breakfast room is too small

The hotel has a good location in the center of Helsinki, at walking distance from the Central Station. The staff is fair but not too friendly or helpful. The breakfast room was very busy both days we spent there with families with kids, large tour groups and individual tourists. It was hard to get a free table, the room was crowded, the variety of the food limited.

Music from the night pub was heard from the room even with closed window, but it was not very disturbing.

Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : Kiasma Contemporary Art museum is really worth to see - just across the Mannerheiminaukio.

The convenient location near train, bus and subway station next to the center. A hearty breakfast. Friendly service. Multi-center hotels cheaper.

Basic level, correct, and clean, but slightly outdated decor. Fair housing for the hotel, but there is little luxury.

Adequate value for Finland. Excellent location Spacious, clean rooms with all the ingredients of friendly staff.

The drawbacks - no.

Remarkable individual. Helsinki's main attractions - from 5 to 20 minutes (the embankment). The airport - about 25 minutes (38 euros). Spacious rooms with all facilities (hairdryer, iron, refrigerator, TV set with a Russian channel). Two steps from the hotel - the building of the shopping center to the bus station, subway, supermarket and shopping center. Suffice quiet place.

Travel tip : The hotel building (left, on the street) is pizzeria. Tasty, large portions, and probably the most affordable prices in Helsinki.

The convenient location, very much so. Located in the heart of the city. Polite, unobtrusive staff. Good food.

Paid parking ... although it is "bad" all over Finland.

Optimal combination of price and quality. Close to all attractions. Excellent food! As 4-ki for the "convenience and quality of rooms, all subjective: it could have been in better. Too all of a Spartan.

Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : All attractions in peshoy availability.

The hotel is situated in a prime location, right next to the Parliament and near the Olympic stadium. Friendly staff made our stay as pleasant as possible. An abundant breakfast buffet was offered varied. One is a short walk in the center and the shopping streets.

Initially, an elevator was not working. The next day strike another lift. The remaining 2 lifts were strong frequendiert, which led to long waiting lists. All doors can be opened only by means of check cards similar room key, so the general to the toilets. The toaster of the breakfast buffet gave up the ghost.

Summary: Anyone who is looking for a simple but well-run hotel, this hotel is well served. The room was simple, clean and not abgewohnt. From room 8.Stockwerk we had views over the rooftops of Helsinki to the harbor and the amusement park.

Nightlife Tip : Only a few steps and you are in the great nightlife of Helsinki, which contains a lot of restaurants, bars and terraces.

Clean and comfortable, the Internet easy to use, well-equipped

Counter service staff too small

Clean and comfortable, location is also very good, functions well, equipment is perfect, sauna is also very clean, staff polite, but the counter staff a bit less busy, the calls take a long time before they pick, if something happens may go directly to the counter faster

Good location in the heart of Helsinki. Nice basic hotel, no luxury. The top floor of the traffic noise is not of much consequence. Price / performance ratio good (three people spent the night under satasella).

Breakfast was congested.
