Beautiful room with nice size balcony, and great view of the city. Great breakfast buffet! Central train station is very close by and easy access to public transportation! There are also plenty of grocery stores within walking distance. Variety of dining restaurants are lacking, but there are plenty for a quick bite.

This hotel was the best one in this weeklong trip in Norway and Finland. Its location, just in front of the central station, is very convenient. A wide family room with shower and bathtub. Also wonderful breakfast on 10th floor. If we had sufficient time, we could have enjoyed a sauna facility also. Very good value for money.

Excellent centrally located hotel
The only problem, in an otherwise excellent stay, was the hot water which was sometimes only luke warm.
The location of the hotel couldn't be better.

Corner of the building 6th floor “Railway station view room” was a stretch when the view was from side window and rest of the windows faced building across the road and room was on top of the tram line. Room itself was great, superior king, lots of space and nice retro vibe. Inside the hotel and hallways were quiet BUT trams outside kept me up and woke me up during the three night stay. Breakfast was sufficient and view from 10th room restaurant great. Special thank you to Adalina at front desk. We appreciated your help on the day we checked out.

What a great location! The hotel is directly opposite the train station to the airport, as well as beside the metro & trams to other parts of Helsinki. It's within walking distance to many food options, shopping, cafes & more.
The room was very spacious, comfortable and the breakfast was wonderful as well. The staff were friendly and helpful to answer any questions I had. Would gladly stay here again the next time I'm in Helsinki!
