Stayed here for 3 nights, and for the price I paid, this hotel truly exceeded my expectations. The central bus stop is right in front of the hotel, and the train station is just a 1–2 minute walk away. It’s also conveniently located near all the major tourist sights. The room was very nice, clean, and comfortable, and the breakfast buffet was decent. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel!

Our stay was better than expected. It's a very short walk from the train station and they were very helpful. Beautiful hotel. The breakfast was worth staying for. Really good food that was the right temp and again the staff did anything asked.
Whenever I go back to Helsinki I WILL be staying here again.

Very silent hotel
During the night, it was hard to believe that you are in the middle of Helsinki, because it was so silent! We stayed at the very nice classic room (windows facing to inner yard) and I’m still amazed how silent it was.
