Everything was perfect for our overnight stay in Helsinki to fill the gap between our flights. The hotel is very close to the Central Railway Station, so you do not have to take a taxi for the trip between the airport and the hotel.

From check in with the wonderful Raphine who welcomed us warmly and explained everything, to the comfortable and clean room and bathroom and especially the fabulous breakfast with so many delicious choices, this hotel exceeded all expectations. In addition, the location across from the railway station was ideal. So very happy we chose this hotel.

The staff, from reception to the restaurant to the cleaning staff throughout the hotel were all especially accommodating to our individual needs. In addition, their friendliness was warm and felt sincere. I say this because their memory of what we preferred lasted throughout our 4 day stay. I highly recommend this hotel.

We had such a wonderful stay at this hotel during our honeymoon! The hotel prepared a beautiful room with an amazing view of Helsinki. The breakfast and sauna were also wonderful, and we really enjoyed both. The only disappointment was that our room was not cleaned at all during our three-night stay, even though we had requested it. Other than that, the location was perfect and the staff were very kind and friendly. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely love to come back again!
