A very unique art-themed hotel. Rooms are individually designed but lacking a chair and table. The hotel is located in modern, up and coming (in a nice way) area. I would definitely stay again.

Interesting hotel away from the tourist core

We had a nice stay in one of the arts rooms. The hotel is quite whimsical and has an amazing breakfast buffet that was included in the fare. We loved the location. It was convenient and had everything we wanted nearby.

Stay away from this place. “Overbooked” seems to be “normal” for this hotel, then you have to stay with someone else in a room…

The worst experience ever! Never ever again and strong recommendation for everyone to avoid this place. We had team event. All the rooms was pre-paid, but upon arrival for 3 people there was no place to stay, so one person was redirected to another hotel. 2 other had to stay in one room. Just because “the hotel was overbooked”. Never ever again!!!

Unusual Hotel. Art based. No Restaurant. Breakfast available. Snacks, liquor, and a reading book selection. Very helpful and pleasant staff. Rooms are small but modern, clean and interesting, artwise. Guests are encouraged to come down to Lobby area where people congregate and visit.

Great property, lovely bar and hangout area Lacks places to out your stuff, even a small dresser would help. While compact we have stayed here for business twice because of the great art, warm environment and a lobby bar. The location is good depending on what you’re doing in Helsinki, we find it mostly walkable and easy to get around
