We loved this hotel, being basically attached to the rail station it was extremely easy to find the hotel and surprisingly very quiet. The hall ways are long, but that’s due to the sheer size of this hotel. The breakfasts were excellent, although it does tend to get a little busy. Due to this, they encourage guests to book their seating time which was appreciated. We were celebrating a special occasion and so the hotel gifted us with a free celebratory drink which was a nice touch.

Great hotel in a lovely historic building attached to the railway station. The central location makes it ideal for exploring the city, either on foot or by tram/bus. I had a large room with comfortable bed, Very quiet and well furnished. Good buffet breakfast. Lovely bar with great atmosphere and a good range of drinks. All staff friendly and helpful. I'd definitely stay here again.

Very chic and centrally located hotel. A very good breakfast buffet which ran til 11am on weekends. Rooms very nicely designed and a spacious and nicely renovated restaurant. Hard to beat the location which means the city is on your doorstep and the waterfront is a short tram ride or walk away. We had a great stay!

Front desk staff was very helpful and personable. The breakfast buffet was very good, but be aware it gets busy just before closing. Directly next to the train station, so very easy to access transportation. Room was beautiful and clean in a great neighborhood! Highly recommend!

At the upper end of my budget but well worth it! Was brilliant to walk off connecting airport train and be at the hotel in a 100 yards or so. Room was superb, very comfortable with extra bed ready as booked for our family of 3. Buffet breakfast was excellent, staff very friendly and helpful at all times. Would definitely recommend and stay again any time I am back in Helsinki!
