とても便利な立地で素晴らしい”

5人旅行で、3人部屋1つと2人部屋を予約したところ、3人部屋が2つ予約されていたので嬉しかったです。 口コミで狭いとのことで覚悟して行きましたが、とても広く感じました。 アメニティはシャンプー、コンディショナー、ボディソープ、ドライヤーがついていました。歯ブラシ、スリッパはありません。 スリッパは1つ3€でフロントで売ってくれます。 エアコンの温度がこちらで調節出来ません。 お風呂は浴槽があるのでゆっくりお湯に浸かることができました。 バスタオルや枕カバーに他人の髪の毛がついていました。それだけが残念な点です。 立地が素晴らしく、観光するのにとても便利な場所です。だいたいのところは徒歩で行けます。 地下に24時間やっているスーパーもあります。 ヘルシンキに来た際は、またこちらに泊まりたいと思いました。
