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.
