I think personally I preferred the GLO aesthetic more than all this brickwork and glass, but the hotel is clean and excellently located opposite Fazer and near the esplanade and station.

Great price for a prime location hotel with a cool vibe. Rooms are pretty compact but have most things you need. Would have been nice to have water in the room but complimentary water was available downstairs. Breakfast was exceptional for quality and range of options catering for all sorts if diets and intolerances. Service was super friendly and we'd definitely visit again if we came back to Helsinki

Nice stay, good location. I just don't understand bathroom arrangement, there's two sliding glass doors that don't even fully close bathroom - meaning that whatever you do in there - other person can both hear and smell, which is just terrible no matter how comfortable you are with your partner.
