Of the advantages:
1. Location: all the sights are within walking distance, there are countless cafes and restaurants around.
2. Excellent breakfast.
Of the cons:
1. You cannot pay in cash (it was very important for us) and no one warned us about it during the booking process. This is perhaps the biggest disadvantage.
2. Breakfast on the weekend is later than on a weekday, so if you have a morning ferry (or plane), then you will fly with breakfast :)
The hotel is located right in the center. 5 minutes to the cathedral and the train station. There is a subway nearby. Matches the description. The breakfast is good. Among the disadvantages: - the hotel does not accept cash, there is no information about this anywhere. We found out about this at the reception when paying. Also, breakfast on weekends is later than usual, at 7:30. If you have an early departure, you will not have time to have breakfast
Pros: great location. the very center of the city, 1.5 minutes walk to the train station. It's still a couple of minutes away from two huge shopping malls. There are a lot of different cafes and bars around.
Minuses:
There is no private parking, only a paid underground one (although there is a discount from the hotel for it, but the discount does not take into account holidays / weekends and it turns out that you overpay).
When entering the room, there was no toilet brush and a mop in the bathroom to collect water after a shower (since there is no shower curtain and sideboard, as everywhere we were in Finland) Breakfast is the same every day. Vegetables, pickled herring, meatballs, sausages, cauliflower, porridge, breakfast cereals, semi-diluted juices, tea and coffee. In 5 days, small donuts in sugar appeared a couple of times.
During the same 5 days, they never changed the bed linen in the room, during vacuuming they did not even go under the beds by a minuscule amount (and there were a lot of dust there, they discovered by accident, they took out a fallen phone). Only the garbage was taken out properly.
The furniture is "tired", but the mattresses and bed linen are new. There is a kettle, disposable cups and spoons in the room. There is a mini-bar refrigerator, very small. A 0.5 bottle of water does not fit upright. In addition, it is almost not cold (maybe it was broken, we did not find out)
Other:
There is also a sauna in the hotel, if you order in time, for 10 euros per person.
When we found out about the parking, we were called by a cleaner who spoke Russian, and was able to explain exactly what the reception was trying to tell us. because in fact, Russian is not spoken at the reception, only Finnish and English.
Very much for an amateur.The design of the 70s.Tubbed. The price is horse

The hotel is on the 2nd floor, honestly. And the breakfasts are great.
The rooms are terrible. Dirty curtains, stuffy in summer, noise from the road, windows are shabby, shampoo is over-no one has replaced it. Water from the sink pours onto the floor😱The water from the shower is barely warm (limiter).
A good hotel. Excellent breakfasts. I would add red fish and strawberries for breakfast. Cream for coffee. The disadvantage is there is no air conditioning, I just open the window. I liked the single room 538 after renovation! The view from the window to the city is good. Next time I'll be back with you in a month!!! Thanks!!!! They're checking me in five and a half hours ahead of schedule!!! This is a significant plus, so as not to walk around with things!!!🔥🙂❤️💋👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥💋💋😉😉❤️❤️🔥❤️❤️🔥❤️❤️❤️
In the room on the 4th floor, after renovation, there is a strange and dangerous step at the entrance to the room.The laminate floor is slippery, and the step is invisible.You can break your leg.Pay attention.I was disappointed by the lack of a bar in the evening, the porter has little choice.
Very, very cold rooms. The baby fell ill after living there. Since it was cold for almost all residents, many were given a heater, but the situation has not changed. We were in December
I can't take off the stars. And so 3 is the maximum
Convenient location from the train station and the center, there are no frills, the hotel is from 1907, booking is free but via a card, the rating is not higher than 4x.
The location of the hotel is good. The breakfast is edible with a good selection. The bed linen is good.
The rooms are dirty, cold, and the bathroom drains sewage all over the room.
A decent 3-star hotel, which is located a 5-minute walk from the center of Helsinki. The rooms are spacious and clean. The breakfasts are delicious. We will stay at this hotel again.
According to the photo, it seems like another building. The effect of embellishment is obtained. In general, the breakfast is nothing and the view from the hotel is too (during breakfast), but the view of the building and the very old bathrooms are depressing - Soviet decoration. A strong three
We travel a lot in Europe, but this is the first time we have encountered such a "miracle": cleaning the room consisted only of taking out the garbage. The beds were not made, the soap and shampoo that had run out were not changed, and towels were not replaced in sufficient quantities. The bed linen was replaced only on the fourth day of stay, and then only after contacting the hotel administrator (at the rate of linen replacement every three days). When returning to the hotel after 5 p.m., you could find your room still not cleaned. The tablecloths and chairs in the restaurant are dirty, do not change, do not clean, breakfast is on an average level. Of the advantages, only the location of the hotel next to the railway station.
I like the hotel for its proximity to the center, friendly staff. It's a pity that there are no triple rooms, in any case, we had to remind you that we booked for three when we already checked in. I would like to issue a regular customer card.the name of a friend, because she orders a reservation in her own name. We wish your hotel prosperity
I didn't like it: 1. the room was next to the hallway door, suitcases rattled all the time and knocked on this door, 2. The room is cold, there is not a single rug, even in the toilet,.3. there is no refrigerator, 4. There is no shower, there is a shower with a toilet, it is impossible to use
It is very expensive, very cold, and repairs have been needed for a long time. Close to the center. Problems with the sewage system. An ill-thought-out bathroom, took a shower - pull the water all over the shower politely left by the hotel staff with a mop.
A nasty hotel. The windows are all cracked. Dust in the rooms. The main bonus is the boorish aunts at the reception and the high price. They ruined the whole impression of Finland.
Shabby furniture, it's cold in the room, the audibility of neighbors and the corridor, a minimum of service, an inadequately high price per room. I do not recommend it
The breakfasts are average, the furniture is old, the location is excellent near the train station.

the breakfast is disgusting, the rooms are old, the windows are blowing, the air conditioning is not regulated... I would like to demolish it and build a modern one...
