So much fun to stay in what used to be a prison (although it took me a day to figure that out!). The decor is fascinating. Otherwise, great location, easy transportation options, excellent dining nearby. Hotel is about 40min from airport so not the closest option.

We loved having breakfast, fika, and dinner provided as part of our room reservation. We were sorry we couldn't take advantage of all the amenities and would love to come back to this hotel again for a longer stay. Very convenient to everything in Helsinki with the tram right outside the front door.

Our stay was incredible. Our room was beautiful, the staff were really friendly and the perks of free breakfast and dinner was fantastic. Not only that, but it has a great location and right by a tram stop with 10 minutes into town if not quicker. Great stay!

Great location with easy public transport links. Peaceful area. We arrived by ferry from Stockholm and hotel was only a short walk from terminal. We especially appreciated the complimentary dinner which consisted of soup with selection of breads followed by set main course and selection of salads. teas or coffee. We would not hesitate to use this hotel again.

This is a very unusual hotel, being situated i an old jail. It conserves the main features of the jail but is very warm, welcoming and modernised. Very helpful staff. Best feature is the excellent buffet dinner and breakfast included in the very reasonable price. There is a tram stop immediately outside and it is also a short walk to the Viking terminal for the ferry to Stockholm.

This has been the best hotel I've stayed (3rd week in May) at in the 10 years I've been traveling to Europe. From the immaculate room, the delicious breakfast & dinner selections, the helpful staff, & the convenient location, this hotel is beyond awesome! I've never stayed at a place like this before & I booked it 6 months before for its historical significance, but it has blown away. I only regret that I didn't stay longer! Every hotel should be like this! Thank you!!!

Great location. Quiet. Comfortable beds. Nice design in an old prison built in the 1800’s. The free food had gluten and lactose free options like sautéed vegetables, beans, eggs, sausages, salads, fruit. You can walk to many attractions but the tram stops right in front of the hotel. I bought the ABC ticket on Tram#4 for €4.8 and the same ticket worked on the train “I” all the way to the airport. Took about an hour but it was very relaxing and comfortable.
