Correct stay, nice staff, place to be updated.
Stay Ok, not amazing, as there are a few equipments/services that needs to be updated. A bit cold in the room, where the AC makes a bit of noise when working. Staff attending really nice, best of the hotel I think.

Helsinki city break
We took an overnight boat from Saint Petersburg to Helsinki and arrived in the morning. The hotel was about 20 min walk from the ferry terminal and located about 10 min walk to the city centre. The breakfast was great with an omelette station. The room was modern and clean. We used the sauna which was located in the basement. Overall I would recommend this hotel. Food in Helsinki is expensive so be warned. To get around the city we hired city bikes for 5 euros a day which was great.

Liked: Cleanliness
Good experience until the moment we checked out. We checked out early morning (around 4:30am) and the guy at the reception desk had a serious attitude problem. First, saying we haven’t paid (tho we did pay in full when we booked), telling us to pay again (took my credit card), then not even apologizing for being so rude when I showed him my confirmation email.
