Our room was large, airy, very clean and with excellent amenities. It was a comfortable home away from home, a lovely place to relax after a day of walking. The breakfast was generous and varied with fresh food, well prepared. The staff was very accommodating. Special mention to the young man on night duty as we left for a very early flight home, who went out of his way to make us a coffee to help us wake up before our taxi came. A small kindness that we will remember!

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.
