I have stayed here before, & was keen to return. However during my stay there were simply not enough staff on duty. Check in took 20 minutes (was over complicated). The room wasn't serviced once in 4 days, so I only had wet towels by the last day. There was no reply when I called Room Service. The bar was closed, though there was a sign saying you could get drinks from reception (a further 20 minutes wait). My room key was disabled after the first night (20 minute queue to rectify the situation). I wanted to raise the issues with Scandic before writing this review, so contacted Scandic via their web site but never got any reply. Scandic are simply running this hotel with too few people, & don't seem to care. I have stayed at Scandic hotels many, many times over the last years, but fear this will be my last. I didn't find a way to complain to Expedia on their web site either.....

Very Convenient for travel on ferries. Plus, if available you can check in early (when ferry arrives) and/ or late for 20 euros. Breakfast was excellent.

Stay here if you are arriving by cruise!
The place has not been updated and my room reflected this- but it was still a comfy place to stay. breakfast was great, everyone was nice. If you are taking viking cruise, it’s about a 5 minute walk from the port.

Near harbour with delicious breakfast!
Nice hotel near harbour! I enjoyed the sauna downstairs and the delicious breakfast the most. It is within walking distance of the harbour and Allas Sea Pool etc.. You can reach churches and markets nearby. I rated it low on cleanliness as I found hairs on the bath towels.. i asked room service for a clean towel and incredibly this towel too had hairs. Perhaps the problem lies with the Laundry room or transit from the laundry room?! No toiletries but on the wall liquid soaps etc..

The manager of this hotel should be sacked. Daily check in queues which undoubtedly could be avoided if manger actually cared. Ie someone to dish out paperwork to queuing guests. Whole coachloads at a time. So,e welco,e and wait time…..but nothing. No management oversight at breakfast which is shocking. No oversight of corridors. Daily cleaning trolley blocked my exit from my front door. Daily cleaners slamming doors. Windows filthy on outside above ground floor. Not sure window opens ….even in a fire. Shower missing big sections of grout and you cannot have a proper shower as tap is so big and spout just drops water rather than sprays so actually quite rubbish. Mould on shower door. Lazy lazy drab drab. Shocking by Scandinavian standards. Good management and good communication means people will spend more in hotel….i spent nothing. Also receptionist so lazy did not write my name on my key card holder. Taxi driver said 50 euros for airport run when norm is 25-30. Took the bus for 5 euros.

This hotel was away from the hub bub of the market and central city but accessible by walking or a close by tram. The staff made us feel welcomed and made our stay very pleasant. The breakfast buffet was outstanding and there were plenty of places to sit so we were not crowded.

Wonderful stay; highly recommend.
We stayed for two nights at the end of our Baltic family vacation. The hotel were friendly and helpful. They upgraded us to a suite from our family room, ensured he had a breakfast bag and taxi for our early morning flight, and provided my 10-year-old son with a ticket for a free mocktail during our stay. The sauna was a nice, hot experience; and the breakfast buffet was full of tasty food. The added bonus was the location. Only a 5 minute walk from the ferry terminal and less than 10 to the main harbour. Highly recommend.

World’s worst check-in
This hotel is right next to the Port of Helsinki and guests frequently arrive all at once. Check-in is advertised as 3pm, but staff warn guests that it won’t start untill 4pm. Result : there is a massive queue for check-in at 4. Each guest will wait 30 minutes. The hotel needs to quadruple afternoon check-in staffing levels. The hotel does offer luggage storage ahead of check-in but it’s in an unlocked room with no ticketing system. Anyone can walk straight in off the street, choose an expensive-looking bag, and walk out with it
