There're a Nepalese Restaurant and a Mayan one just around the corner. Avoid the Nepalese one; it's awful, bad food, bad wine and bad service.

Beds were a bit hard but the room
Beds were a bit hard but the room was spacious as was the bathroom which had very nice lighting. And for once the hairdryer had enough power. Everything was clean. Breakfast and dinner were excellent.

Great ambiance
I stayed for one night for business in Helsinki. The location is an easy walk from the central railway station at the city center, yet is on a quiet street with little traffic. I was greeted by friendly, multilingual staff at the desk. My room was a combo of very modern yet funky/retro interior and appliances. Room was very quiet and clean.

Enjoyable weekend ! The whole
Enjoyable weekend ! The whole family was served well. If something to be mentioned/ improved: could be more tableware and cups etc on the breakfast- something was all the time lacking. The weekend room could be cleaned earlier than around 5 p.m. Anyhow very nice and cosy hotel just in the midlle of everyhthing.Recommended!
