Fantastic location, great breakfast options. Room seemed clean initially but dust in a few areas and the pillows were poor/ too soft. Powerful shower though and the location more than makes up for the other bits and ideal for a short stay when you want to pack in lots of Helsinki.

Outstanding Experience – Truly 5-Star Service

From the moment I arrived, the reception staff were exceptional — warm, professional, and genuinely eager to assist in any way they could. They went above and beyond by recommending fantastic local spots to experience authentic Finnish cuisine, which truly enhanced my stay. The breakfast was equally impressive: delicious, beautifully presented, and offering a wide variety of high-quality options to suit every taste. The hotel felt incredibly safe and secure, providing a sense of comfort throughout my stay. I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Helsinki. It’s a true gem delivering world-class service right in the vibrant heart of the city. A flawless 5-star experience!

This was a pleasant stay. First time in Helsinki. Only issue that was more of a behavioral type issue was i arranged a taxi with front desk the evening before to take me to ferry dock to Estonia. Reconfirmed. The morning off went to get my taxi. No show went in reception she confirmed the previous evening host never made the request. Why lie and say you did? In the end it worked out. But left me untrusting of that one employee. Overall will stay here again when I return to Helsinki later this year.

Style over substance - bang average

No fridge or minibar, no coffee machine and no drawer for clothes. Just single beds pushed together with single duvets and no automatic room cleaning and an average breakfast. Style over substance - will not stay again.
