no charm

This hotel is in the very center but lacks charm and flexibility. The streets around the hotel are nousy and in the hotel itself you could as well be sleeping all in the same room!

Excellent location, good hotel

Very nice, friendly and centrally located hotel. Good buffet breakfast provided which is a real plus in a city as expensive as Helsinki. Only minor complaint was that the curtains didn't quite fit the windows but that was comparatively unimportant.
