positive:
Excellent central location
It would be harder to find a hotel that has a more central
location to this in Helsinki with the main railway station just a short walk
away and within the immediate vicinity of the hotel there are so many shops,
bars and restaurants that you are spoiled for choice and the port is also
within very easy walking distance should you be travelling by ferry.
positive:
Helpful and smiling staff
You will always be greeted with smiling staff who look like
they do genuinely enjoy their job and who will stop at nothing to ensure that
your every need is catered for during your stay with nothing too much trouble
for them and they speak excellent English which is always a big help.
positive:
Clean, tidy and spacious rooms
Housekeeping do a really good job of ensuring that your
rooms I kept clean and tidy as it is always pleasurable to come back to a room
which looks and smells nice after being out all day on business or sightseeing
and in addition the rooms are quite spacious with plenty of room to move
around.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Starting to look tired and dated
The hotel décor and the fixtures and fittings is starting to look rather worn and quite tired in places with damage to flooring and just very old in general and a major refurbishment is needed according to reports from previous guests.
negative:
Air conditioning doesn't work that well
Although temperatures don't always get too high in this part
of the world it is still nice to have air conditioning in rooms which works
effectively, but it doesn't here and if you open the window to let some fresh
air then you may hear lot of noise from the busy streets.
negative:
Busy at breakfast time
The breakfast area gets really busy and at times it is
difficult to find somewhere to sit and eat no matter what time you are there.
