Always great

I ALWAYS stay at this hotel in Helsinki because of the great location next to the main rial station and the bus station. The staff is always helpful and very friendly and goes out of their way to serve my every need. The breakfast buffet daily on the 10th floor is filling if not as excellent as it once was but it still beat most US hotels. Having an internet station in the lobby and WiFi in the rooms is a most welcome addition. I just love the place.

Excellent Accomodation in Helsinki

First time stay at this hotel. Altogether over the past 5 years my wife and I have stayed at 6 different hotels in Helsinki, and would rate this now as our favorite in the upper price ones. Our room was spotless, a large double, with windows overlooking the main boulevard--really quite spectacular. The breakfast room is on a top floor with lots of windows, so very pleasant. We enjoy walking, and the hotel is very well located for exploring Helsinki by foot or trolley.

Sightseeing tip: Short walk from hotel

Within short walks of the hotel are great cultural and historic landmarks. Helsinki is a very walkable city, and this hotel is located perfectly for such excursions.

Muy buen hotel al lado de la estacion

Muy buen hotel al lado de la estacion central de Helsinki. El desayuno se sirve en el decimo piso y se puede tomar en la terrasa de la que hay vistas de toda la ciudad. Lo extraño es que el hotel cuenta con una habitación de equipajes, a la que tiene acceso cualquiera. Da miedo dejar tus pertenencias alli.

なにより立地が最高でどこへ行くにも便利。 Sokosデパー

なにより立地が最高でどこへ行くにも便利。 Sokosデパートとその地下のS-Marketへはホテルから直結で外に出ずに行けます。 スタッフの対応も良く、サウナも無線LANも宿泊客には無料で用意されています。 朝食もおいしく、Sokos系なのでフィンランド名物?のカレリアンピーラッカも用意されています。 日本人だからか、バスタブ付きの部屋で、部屋から見えるヘルシンキの景色も良いです。 不満らしい不満はなかったのですが、あえて挙げると、若干部屋が狭いのと、部屋にセキュリティボックスがないことくらい しょうか。 後者は、ミニバーに鍵がかけられるので、それで代用できなくもなさそうでした。

3度目の宿泊になりますが、サウナと同一階に宿泊したせいか、室内の汗臭さはあるものの、設備は整っている。 インターネットも無料で快適に利用できた。朝食も種類が豊富。
