This hotel was a gem!!! We stayed for 4 nights and I was sad to leave. It was a lovely place in a great location. And the breakfast!!! I was so delicious. I’m not usually a big breakfast person and I was always looking forward to it. The local Finnish porridge with berries was my favorite. Delicious coffee and everything was so fresh! Our room: it was so great! We had a suite that had our own sauna and it was amazing. It was attached to the bathroom so we used it every day. Such a fun addition to this room. I loved it and I hope to go back someday.

The rooms are beautifully designed and comfortable. It is a little bit away from the train station but I enjoyed the quiet neighborhood. The bathroom is pretty small. If you mind tiny bathrooms, book a larger room. Some amenities were lacking such as a wash cloth and conditioner. Considering the price and design, I will stay again. As a bonus, there is an excellent Japanese restaurant which is kind of hidden from outside.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Good location, staff communication and hospitality were good (multilingual). Breakfast food variety and taste was good. However, heating not working, paint had a sharp edge just above pillow area and cause hand’s skin cut. Also the room styling was a bit childish.
