1. counter staff with little smile, not friendly enough;
2. room temperature too high, no manual control inside the room;
3. the opening hour on saturday morning is totally wrong, foe example on 29/6/2024, it opens at 07.30 instead of 06.30 on weekdays! the venue was very crowded!
4. water pressure of the shower was weak!
5. there is a pillar in front of the main door at corridor, makes the access to the room very inconvenient! Pls refer to photo.

Excellent location right at the main train station and walking distance to main tourist sites. Staff were friendly and breakfast was good. Good value for money at this price point. A little more attention to detail could be done with housekeeping. For example, the shower gel was empty (no problem since I had my own) and the fridge clearly hadn't been cleaned for a long time.

Right next to Helsinki Central Station, only 1 minute walk. Convenient, comfortable beds, adequate sized rooms. Only downside is lack of air conditioning, and you cannot open any windows.

Location was really nice! I could go center city station from this hotel within 5 minutes. And then the big supermarket was located next to this hotel and that’s so convenient. But the iron was dirty and the clothes got dirty after ironing.

Super convenient location! Right next to the train terminal. Walkable distance to 24hrs supermarket, tourist attractions and lots of food. Our room had a bathtub and almost everything was perfect. However, there were too much dust on the curtains and some areas. Would be great if the windows can be opened... Would stay again for the convenience. Staffs are super friendly as well.

Good location which is very near to the main railway station. Walk out of the station and you can see the hotel on your right. Look for the lockers in the rail station and you are on the correct way to the hotel.
The hotel has luggage storage which is very useful. When your next travelling time is in the evening.
Take the tram no.3 and then no. 2 to move around the city.

Response from Property: Dear Snow,Thank you for the review! Very nice to hear, that you found our location convenient. That's absolutely right, if you're looking for a hotel in the center of Helsinki, we're the one for you. It's very easy to access public transportation from and to the hotel. From the airport you can take train marked as I right to the hotel and to the airport you can take the train marked as P just behind the hotel.Thank you for your visit and welcome back again!Sincerely, Mari Salonen General Manager
