Great stay and overall experience

Very nice hotel and super friendly easy-going staff - they helped us handle cake delivery and kindly stored it in the fridge (no fridges in the rooms), even gave us nice cake cutter without demand :) Excellent breakfast with a variety of hot and cold dishes, fruits and pastry. Cool design and internal areas. Convenient location

Great property, lovely bar and hangout area Lacks places to out your stuff, even a small dresser would help. While compact we have stayed here for business twice because of the great art, warm environment and a lobby bar. The location is good depending on what you’re doing in Helsinki, we find it mostly walkable and easy to get around

Unusual Hotel. Art based. No Restaurant. Breakfast available. Snacks, liquor, and a reading book selection. Very helpful and pleasant staff. Rooms are small but modern, clean and interesting, artwise. Guests are encouraged to come down to Lobby area where people congregate and visit.

I would heartily recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Helsinki. Quirky but very nice, and the breakfast buffet is amazing. I'm afraid it's ruined me for the "continental breakfast" you get at similarly priced hotels in the States!
