My room was in the new building so it was a bit of a walk from reception with the case.

Fantastic hotel right in the heart of Helsinki. Beautiful old building with a sauna in the tower! Very friendly staff and intriguing artwork displayed throughout. The room was very comfortable and the breakfast spot on. Highly recommended

The windows were not allowed to be opened on the top floor which made the room not feel 'fresh'. The explanation was that this was for 'safety reasons'. It would be great if windows could be installed that can open partially so fresh air is able to enter. The staff supported my request to be moved to the ground floor which had windows that could open.

Staff were great, good value for money, well located

Room was a wee cold... And due to some misunderstanding, cleaning was not made on a daily basis.

The building is wonderful--that only is worth the stay. the location is perfect--the breakfast is delicious.

not very neat in the corridors and common areas. It would be nice to update the repair.

The hotel has a good breakfast. The water pressure in the shower is comfortable. Comfortable bed.

The curtains in my room were dirty, overall cleanliness could have been better. Breakfast was somewhat disappointing after reading positive reviews on Booking.com. Not a shortcoming but be prepared for a proper hike through the building - somewhat confusing corridors, a long way from room to the reception etc.

Excellent location (probably the biggest plus for me); sincere, friendly and professional staff; usually dislike hotel bathrooms like this but was very positively surprised by this one! Smart planning.

There is no fridge in the room, and you can‘t open the windows, although the lobby is in the castle all the rooms are in the new part

The breakfast hae many different options also vegan ones, the staff was always friendly and helpful. The ambiente in the entrance was nice. The curtains make sure the room is dark

The location is perfect for me, I like this part of Helsinki. And the architecture in the old part of the hotel building is fantastic. The breakfast is good. I always stay at GLO art if possible, when in Helsinki.

I would have liked to see a choice of pillows. However, I din't enquire.

I am a very light sleeper and in spite of the room facing the street it was very quiet . In the morning I really enjoyed their excellent breakfast with variety of dishes.

Aircon in the rooms is too strong and can't be turned off, while temperature is good the air gets very dry in the cold winter days. Also would be good to have allergy-friendly duvets (no down). Wish the sauna was included. No body lotion or conditioner in the rooms.

Staff is excellent, always friendly and helpful (we stayed 5 nights). Breakfast is absolutely lovely, tasty Finnish treats and good selection. Rooms are quiet from outside noise and location is excellent, close to the shopping area and great restaurants, about 20min walk from the seaside

The bedrooms are located in a separate, former apartment building next to the main building - some of the old apartment doors are even still left. The hallways are dated and worn and not very inviting. The key system is also old, and our magnetic keys stopped functioning twice during our two-night stay.

The staff was friendly and the beds were super comfortable! Nice location.

I would have liked to know that the rooms were quite so small and also that the beautiful old lobby depicted in the photos is only the lobby and part of the buildings. Most of the rooms are in a modern adjacent addition, and there is nothing distinctive about them whatsoever.

The pillows were the best hotel pillows I have ever had. Down filled and not too big and solid. The personnel were fantastic, really helpful. The breakfast was very varied and delicious. Rooms were tiny but clean. The lobby building was intriguing and beautiful.

Room is perfect for the price value, breakfast was very good and location can't be better.

Would have hoped for a small fridge in the room as it helps to keep such essentials as babies milk cool should you travel with a family. The room we had was comfortable for the adults travelling however the space was very limited when you have more that two and are with young children

Central location was excellent, and quick access to all the services and amenities. Breakfast was generous however the space was limited to cater for the amount of people. Rooms was clean and beds very comfortable.

Pillows were soggy and not comfortable to sleep in. I was with my mom and apparently the bathroom is transparent and shower can be seen from the bed room so we had to fix the schedule. They did offer to change the bed but the replacement had no drawers whatsoever.

Central location, close to everywhere

Historical landmark in the old side.

The room was rather warm during the night and the breakfast buffet could have had some been more varied from a vegetarian / vegan point of view (especially concerning the savoury foods). Finally, the music played during the breakfast buffet was a little too loud and really generic modern pop which just felt wildly out of place in such a lovely old building!!!

We had a quiet room, comfortable bed, and it was nice that breakfast didn't end too early, like in some hotels. The old building was also beautiful to explore and the staff were friendly. The location was also convenient for exploring the city!
