The hotel is very well located, near the most must seen attractions on the city. The breakfast is great, with excellent choices. The coffee in the breakfast coffee machine is not so good, but there is an espresso coffee machine at the bar. I did not like the food on their restaurant, but there are another places to eat nearby.

Simple Large Rooms in Central Helsinki

Centrally located hotel in a rehabilitated office building. Relaxed vibe. Nice large room but scant amenities. Fridge? Second chair in a room with two beds? Desk? There was plenty of room just seems too pared down. But let me repeat, great central location. Excellent busy breakfast.

Nice location, but very dusty rooms

Location this hotel is really superb. However, the rooms are very dusty. In addition, the thermostat works its own life.
