We stayed 3 nights during our trip and noticed that this place is steadily going down. Biggest problems for us where worn out furniture, broken cups, mugs etc. and terrible beds. Furniture and surfaces looked really old, definitely time to do renovation. Beds were so soft that for us it was impossible to sleep on those. Luckily soffa could be turned into bed which was slightly better to sleep on than the beds. Also we noticed that many cups etc. had cracks, missing pieces etc. in our room and at the breakfast restaurant. So remember to watch out from where you drink. Breakfast itself is relatively poor consisting only on bread, cerials&yogurt and coffee&tea.

Positive things in this place are excellent and free laundry washing machines&dryers. Good location near the railwaystation while still being on quiet residential area.

My wife and I stayed for two nights with our 1 year old son. We had a nice stay, with good food (though limited choices, probably due to it being a relatively small hotel) for breakfast, a big room which our little guy loved, and nice staff. The rooms could have been cleaner, and some improvements would have easily made a difference between a good and a great hotel. It was situated in a quiet and safe neighborhood (ie a typical scandinavian neighborhood!?!), a short 10 minute walk from the central railway station.

We stayed here for 4 days in April. It is a basic hotel but had everything we needed. We stayed in one of the studios which was a room with twin beds, table, chairs and one armchair. The small kitchenette between the main room and bathroom was well equipped although we did not make use of it other than making tea and coffee - there were too many good restaurants nearby!

It is well situated, less than 10 minute walk into town and approx 5 minutes walk to the Airport bus. It benefited from free internet access in the rooms, and breakfast included although the dining area is very small.

Very friendly and helpful staff in the reception area and the restaurant.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to others. We would certainly stay there again on any future trips to Helsinki.

We spent 3 nights in this hotel whilst in Helsinki visiting another friend who is studying abroad. As a group of 7 twenty-somethings, this hotel was ther perfect choice for us. The apartments are wonderful - seperate twin bedrooms and enormous lounges with fully furnished kitchen facilities including plates, cutlery, saucepans, a hob and even a microwave. Perfect for those wanting to save money and eat in and the lounges were easily big enough for 7 of us to pile into one apartment for the evening. The breakfast room is very small, but the lovely gentleman in the cafe saw no reason why we couldn't load up a tray and eat in the apartment.
The location was brilliant, only ten minutes from the city centre, railway station and bus station but itself on a very quiet street. It is also only 5 minutes from a supermarket which came in very handy!
Great value for money. I discovered and booked this hotel on behalf of the whole group, who were rather sceptical of the quality of the hotel after being told it would cost £96 each for 3 nights, breakfast included. When we arrived, I was mobbed with hugs and cheers. The reception is closed over the weekends and the rooms are cleaned once a week, but if you don't need your hand held to make your bed then this makes very little difference except to the cost of making your stay cheaper. It is, however, definitely a hotel for people who like a more relaxed and casual place to stay as there is no real "service" so to speak. Having said that, it is clean, tidy, quiet and, more importantly, very warm!
This hotel actually makes me want to visit Helsinki again. I cannot recommend it enough.
