NIce hotel. Wonderful staff

The hotel is of a very good standard all round, but what really makes it stand out is the quality of the staff. Nothing was too much trouble for the receptionists at the front desk, who went out of their way to help and advise when necessary. We use many hotels during the year and can report that the quality of customer care that we experienced at this hotel was exceptional.

Like an old-fashioned gentlemen's club

I loved this hotel. The staff spoke excellent English, and gave impeccable instructions for any question we posed them. The hotel is a renovated building from an old student union building dating from the 1800s - it has many quirky architectural features and truly resembles a palace. The main floor had a lounge set off from the reception desk which contained several large leather chairs, a massage chair, a computer terminal with free internet, antique safari-style (?) furniture - I imagined it looked just like gentlemen's clubs in the 1800s. Our room was fairly small - we had a cot brought in for our kid and this made it somewhat cramped. Unlike most European hotels, our bathroom was generous and even had a bath! The free breakfast was extensive, but not really to my taste - not enough fruit I guess.

Well positioned and good value

The hotel is slightly out of the centre but a good location for walking around the city. Room was smallish but adequate. The staff on reception were very helpful. The breakfast was very good - lovely fresh bread and fruit particularly good. the only downside was that during our visit it was unseasonally hot and the room had no airconditioning which made it rather hot!

We walked down to the southern tip of the city and went to the Cafe Ursula which over looked the island of Soumenlina - good value and lovely setting.

Excellent hotel, great location

Great hotel, only a short walk to the city centre and train station. We stayed two weekend nights, and the hotel was a real pleasure. The free breakfast in the morning was my favourite part, as it was delicious and there was a nice selection of newspapers to read while down in the dining room. Overall, an excellent experience.

Nice breakfast room. Typical Finnish fare with no extras, but suitable. Finn Hotels in this class don't have the usual cadre of sycophants milling around to help with your bags, so be prepared to open the door and carry your bags (and your cash) to your room.

Cozy fantastic Location

Hotel has has a feel of class and mystic. Place is excellent for short business stays and company fuctions. Attractions are about 5 city blocks away and it allows for a feeling of true city exploration
