The room was a bit small and looked really old. The pics on booking.com did not really give out these details. I felt it was not good value for the money as it costs good money. One could stay in Helsinki city center for this price. The rooms are not soundproof as well. Since we are childhood friends meeting after a long time, we were just talking until late night when someone from adjacent room banged on the wall to let us know he can hear us that late in the night.

The breakfast was good and have good time for that. The swimming pool and sauna are available at no extra cost which is really nice. The location was really calm with no rush and everything available nearby like a supermarket, coffee shop and bus/tram accessibility.

Sauna: no towels. Very basic one pool. Both open only during breakfast 7-10 am. Resevation for evening private sauna 15 EUR/hour. This is Finland. Sauna should be free not within limited hours

Friendly staff. Nice bar. Good location, 8 min walk to Käpylä station then 6 min by train to Helsinki station. Shops close by (1 opposite larger 4 min walk). You can take also tram 1 to the city center 30 min or Eira area 35 min (great for outdoor activities)

breakfast ; the coffee was not strong enough or hot enough !

clean room, pricing, free parking

Stayed in January 2022

The air in the corridors could be more fresh. Overall the lobby and corridors felt a bit modest, dated.

Location served our purposes perfect. Room was quiet, the environment is pleasant, bed was good, had a very good sleep.

Stayed in January 2022

The room was cold. Restaurant and breakfast buffet table were worn out. The impression was not good.

Location, free parking by the street.

..I just will have hoped to be able to enjoy the sauna and pool but guess they were closed because of winter or Corona not sure. That would have made a huge difference in the fairness for the price. And that's one of the reasons I went to that hotel

The rooms are big and comfortable, beds are soft. Breakfast is big and has various options of everything.

Stayed in January 2022

The free parking is only for 3 cars, so everybody else has to park on the street which is disappointing because I booked this hotel based on that it has somewhere safe to park over night.

The rooms are clean and comfortable.

Photos are misleading at best - the place is quite a bit run down, to say the least, and being a photographer myself, I was wary of some tricks in the hotel's pictures that are common when disguising age in real estate (confirmed on location). Lighting is actually weak, furniture and apparel have seen better times, breakfast was underwhelming, but the real blunder was: the building's layout is terrible. No, seriously! The elevator only provides for one side of the hotel. The connecting corridor between the building's alleys doubles as a makeshift conference room, and if there's an event or meeting happening there, they simply lock the corridor. Meaning, you have to take the elevator back down, then go down a small stair flight, and up the stairs on the other side. If you're carrying heavy luggage, late in a cold night, too bad for you. At least the staff helps you carry the luggage up the narrow stairway. Speaking of stairs btw: the architect who projected the building had some fixation for them: everything has stairs on it: the restaurant, the pool, and even the two-ambience lobby - if you're changing ambience, there's a stair flight for you. But you'll probably only notice if you're dead tired. To finish it off, as I said in the "pros": the hotel is at the END of a tram line - a very long one, takes a while to get there (no idea how long, I was too tired to check). Considering all of that, the hotel was quite overpriced, even more expensive than some good places downtown. Really disappointing.

Rooms are decently clean, staff does make an effort to make you welcome, it's located right next to the end point of tram line (#1, I guess). I'm really struggling to find something else (I didn't use pool, nor wifi).

The walls are really thin. We couldn't sleep a single night completely. Drunk guys every night to different times...

Really nice stuff, and good breakfast. Gym and pool.

a little basic and they didn’t replace the coffee each day in the room.

breakfast was great and the staff were fantastic

Stayed in December 2021

We were disappointed that the pool only opens in the mornings 8am-11am. Wished it was also opened in the evenings but it's not too much disruptive to our schedule.

Staff was friendly and lovely, the pool and sauna was nice. Breakfast was also good.

Stayed in October 2021

Arrived late (after check-in time) and had problems with getting in. Because we notified hotel in advantage about our late arrival, they kindly sent all of us instructions (and login information) for mobile keys to open outer door (as well as our rooms). Unfortunately no-one mentioned that mobile keys, to gain afterhours entrance to hotel itself, work only on small side door (not main entrance), neither was this information written on main entrance door and no-one was picking up the phone. We eventually got in only thanks to postman(?) who passed us and showed us the side entrance. Sadly that wasn't still all - my mobile key worked fine and I got into my room without any further problems, but my other colleagues had problems getting into their rooms [one colleague mobile application showed 2 keys, which sadly didn't function, and other colleague mobile application showed 0 keys - they eventually got into their rooms but only after colleague with 0 keys tested if he could log in into his application with other colleague password and this way gained access to 2 keys (2 rooms) which from his mobile luckily functioned]. In the morning, my colleagues received (after asking) from reception-desk keycards for their rooms. There was also some mixup with our names and hence assigned rooms, but staff very kindly solved/corrected these issues. All in all, after solving the above mentioned issues, the stay itself (hotel, rooms, staff, etc) was great!

Very comfortable bed (soft but not too soft), clean rooms and good breakfast (also gluten-free options). Helpful staff. City center: easily reachable by public transportation (bus and tram stops within few minutes from hotel). From/to airport: train stop (with connection to airport) ~15mins walking distance or 1-2 stops with bus.

Clean and great room

1- The room access could be easier with only the room card (that I got at the end of the check-in), instead of downloading an app, make a registration and stuff like that. 2- The hotel is like an old style. Room is like from the end of 80's or 90's, same as the bathroom. 3- The bedspread had some dust, but nothing bad. What I just didn't like about cleanness was the ventilation system. Apparently, in the exhaust fan there was some type of fungus or so. It was really dirty and I could see from there. I would strongly recommend some professional cleaning in the ventilation system.

1- The staff was very friendly and helpful. 2- The restaurant was quite good and spacious, with big windows facing the street. The food was fair. 3- There was a swimming pool and sauna (I didn't try, but I went there to have a look).
