Good Localization and nice breakfast localization (10th floor), I like also sauna and fact that hotel has nice pub just on ground floor. Very nice toilet and bathroom

food selection as for this price is relatively poor in my opinion. I've seen bigger selection in hotels for half price. I do not know how other levels but last room I got was supposed to be non smoking. There was no ashtrays - but it was stinking this typical smell. I think I got it in non renovated part or something like that.

I like to stay in this hotel mainly because of localization. It is in heart of Helsinki and much cheaper than Sokos Presidenti. Although for this price I would rather expect modern, non smelling room rather that what I have got there. Service is very good, everyone speaks fluent english, nice bar with possiblity to eat something on ground floor (if someone likes MC Donalds 10 meters on left - when leaving front doors). Saunas are nicely organized so this is very good point of the hotel. One more think I've noticed is that elevators are small (2-3 persons is max) - sometimes resulting in longer queues.

Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : if you have time for shopping - aprox 200 m from hotel there is Stockman shopping centre. This is giant. 8 levels and you can find there everything, namely everything what you can imagine at your home. Realy nice place to spent some lazy afternoon.

Balcony on the top floor.

Location, interior, services were excellent. I will use this hotel again, but I would give up my private balcony to avoide noise from the restaurant.

Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : Very close to Ateneum. It opens at 9 when other museums and shops are still closed. And almost nobody is there this early. It is a special feeling to be in the empty art museum.
