Hotel is right next to the central train station of Helsinki. It is very convenient for sightseeing. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast, sauna and gym. Staff was extremely helpful: we had forgot airPods in the room and they found them and passed to our friends. Really appreciated!

Excellent in every way but accessing the hotel reception area with a heavy suitcase was difficult. I had to take the ramp-access which took me to the conferencing area of the hotel. In the end a kindly guest showed to to reception as I would not have found this on my own via the ramp access to the hotel. I felt a bit embarrassed by getting to reception by the kindness of one of your other guests.
