A short Helsinki stay

A potentially great hotel with a good restaurant, excellent young children's play area and some excellent staff. Close to railway station - 10-15 minutes walk. Lacked attention to detail in room service that I'd expect from this level of hotel - soap dispenser empty, unable to open fridge without getting a key.

Viihtyisä ja idyllinen hotelli

Aleksanteri on yksi viihtyisimmistä ja idyllisimmistä Helsingin hotelleista hyvällä hinta-laatusihteella. Sisustuksessa otetaan hyvin huomioon rakennuksen ikä ja arvokkuus. Kesäaikaan pieni sisäpihan terassi oli myös kiva yllätys.

We were told the hotel was sold

We were told the hotel was sold out when arriving there at around midnight. We were sent to another hotel and we had to pay the taxi fare which made out cost of stay a lot higher. Not happy at all!
