This is a great hotel about a 15 minute walk from the central train station. Rooms are clean, quiet and well appointed. The front desk staff is very helpful. Great view of the harbor. 5 minutes to the subway/tram/bus stop.

I've been in this hotel for meeting several times. For a traveler the location is not perfect. If you are in for business it does not really pay any role where your hoitel is located - as long as it's easy access to where you should alredy be in. There is a nice market place (Hakaniementori) next to the hotel but it's still on the left (wrong) side of "the bridge" for us from Helsinki. "The Bridge" meaning old Pitk?silta which in fact is very short. But this hotel is still on the wrong side of the bank. And the being build in early 80's reflects the "conctete brutalism" of the time. I would prefer a hotel that is much closer to the Central Railway Station i.e. the center of town - and any of the newer or older hotels.

Delightful stay in a lovely large room overlooking the water. The buffet breakfast had lots of variety, fresh fruits, great breads/rolls, and smoked salmon. The staff was extremely courteous and helpful. It was fun to go to the local farmers market and mass transit was only a 2 minute walk from the hotel. Quiet,, professionally run, relaxing hotel. Our room had free wi fi, Evian water, little treats, and access to a great sauna. What a great introduction to Helsinki!
