I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were fantastic with a double bed, a fantastic power shower, and a very comfortable bed. The location was perfect, just 150 meters from Kamppi metro station, making it super convenient to explore the city. The dining experience was delicious with the tastiest cranberry-coconut overnight oats ever. However, the price was a bit on the higher side for what was offered.

The hotel has a unique style with Finnish decorations, but not exactly as shown in the pictures. It offers a modern decor with Chromecast attached to the TV. The service at check-out was efficient, and they provide housekeeping and welcome drink services. The location is in central Helsinki near the train station. The dining options are varied with good vegan options and a few 'real Finnish' dishes. The facilities are well-equipped for a comfortable stay.

The hotel is a gem in the heart of Helsinki, just steps away from Kamppi metro station and the bustling shopping area.
