Slightly old fashioned but clean, friendly, nice restaurant and bar on 10th floor with great views. Very (very) easy from airport to central station by train. No more than 4-5 min walk station to hotel. Hotel well situated for central Helsinki sights and waterfront.

Fabulous as always, the superior room with the balcony was excellent: quiet, lovely and big, excellent light and a nice walk in shower well worth paying extra for. All hotel amenities were great, towels, robe slippers etc. Great sauna available free in the evenings or morning. Breakfast was superb, such a big selection and lovely views from the 10th floor. The location of this hotel is fantastic and allows ease of use for all of the city, easy to find straight out of the airport/ train to city with no real walking distance with luggage in the snow this is a bonus! 100% would recommend.
