Great location
Older property on the fifth floor of the building. Some quirkiness due to age, but great central location and a tram stop literally right outside the door of the building. I had an emergency when my original lodging was cancelled hours before check-in, and Senate Hotel was able to accommodate me at very short notice.

It was very central to Helsinki City centre a 8 min stroll to centre shops & restaurant /cafes. Plus a fair price, not overly expensive, Only thing was the shared bathroom & shower facilities are shared for all rooms I think. But that's a small price to pay for a clean tidy room at half the price of similar hotels in Helsinki, plus there's a cool Kereoke bar on street level open till 4am popular with local Helsinki party goers.

The location was very central. The rooms could use an update. The use of a kitchen was handy, and the little patio was nice.
