Won't stay again, service lets down otherwise ok
It is quite nice hotel, but some rooms are noisy. Breakfast is good. Not enough staff at peak hours. I had to queue up a while after hotel key stopped working. There is also very lax system of leaving luggage. There are better hotels in central Helsinki

4 night stay
This is a very good hotel. Beautiful building and very clean. It abuts the Central Train Station, so it is convenient for travelers. Many tram and bus and metro connections nearby. Lots of shopping and food nearby. The included breakfast buffet is excellent, and the rooms are large. USB outlets in the room. My only minor detraction is that there is a small selection of TV channels to choose from, especially if the guest does not understand Finnish.
