Great stay and overall experience
Very nice hotel and super friendly easy-going staff - they helped us handle cake delivery and kindly stored it in the fridge (no fridges in the rooms), even gave us nice cake cutter without demand :)
Excellent breakfast with a variety of hot and cold dishes, fruits and pastry. Cool design and internal areas. Convenient location

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

I would heartily recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Helsinki. Quirky but very nice, and the breakfast buffet is amazing. I'm afraid it's ruined me for the "continental breakfast" you get at similarly priced hotels in the States!

The hotel is really outstanding and good reachable with the public transport. The staffs are super friendly, everything is clean and you can rest very well.
You aren't that far from the main station. It was my second stay, last year I also already stayed at this hotel and if you wanna do a day trip to Tallinn the hotel is nearby by the port.

The rooms are very nice, the bed comfortable and the blankets thick. The only thing I didn't appreciate was the shower. I have stayed in many eco-friendly hotels before, but this one seems to restrict water pressure. This combined with only a small shower head means you can only apply water to abiut a 5 inch circumference of your body at a time, and makes rinsing thick hair almost impossible.

Oikein sujuva ja mukava käynti. Tulimme myöhään ja lähdimme ennen aamupalaa. Meidät huomioitiin pyytämättä aamiaisrasioilla,jotka saimme mukaan.
Viihtyisä ja siisti hotelli, hyvä palvelu. Voin hyvillä mielin suositella. 😊
