This hotel was really great. The location was central and the pool and sauna were great. Hotel is slightly dated but that sort of gave it charm. The hotel doesn't really have a bar open past 9pm so that was a bit of a bummer when looking for a night cap post dinner. Overall, we were very happy and it was a great hotel to end our trip with.

Great hotel in a superb location. Surrounded by popular attractions, shopping malls, restaurants and near main train station. Standard room is a little small. Lobby could add a weighing scale for luggage. Pool lock is not on time. We stayed 3 nights and were fed same boring breakfast everyday. More cleaning staff needed instead of discouraging guests to clean their rooms. Overall a worthy stay.

Bon emplacement pour les transports. La literie ne répond pas aux attentes, les matelas étant trop mous. De plus, le petit déjeuner n’est pas adapté aux Français, car il contient trop de plats salés.

街の中心にあり便利です。 プールで子供と遊ぶために選びましたが、 こちらのプールはサウナ後に冷やす施設のようで、 温水ではないようで、ちょっと寒かったです。 近くに食事処やスーパーもあり滞在には便利です。 中央駅もバスターミナルもすぐ近くです。 12時チェックアウト後、飛行機の時間までwifiの繋がる、 ロビーで充電しながら暇潰ししました。 荷物も預かってもらえます。 日本向けのお土産屋さんもあり、便利です。 フィンランドのホテル全般に言えますが、 アメニティ(歯ブラシなど)は基本ないので注意です。 ありがとうございました。

Das Hotel ist überall sehr sauber und auch die Sauna und der Pool sind ordentlich. Jedoch ist das Hotel auf der einen Seite recht modern (z.B. Zimmer sind frisch Renoviert) aber auf der anderen etwas altmodisch und der Pool und Sauna Bereich könnte eine Renovierung vertragen. Das Frühstück ist international aufgestellt, jedoch besteht nicht sonderlich viel Auswahl (Eine Käsesorte, eine Sorte Schinken und eine Sorte Salami). Die Kaffeemaschinen haben nur Filterkaffee und Espresso und andere Kaffeesorten können zwar bestellt werden, aber nur gegen Aufpreis. Was mir bei der Buchung nicht bewusst war, ist dass der Roomservice nur alle 3 Tage stattfindet. Das finde ich zu lange und vor allem wenn man das Fitnessstudio und den Pool nutzt, will ich nicht 3 Tage lang das selbe Handtuch benutzen.

A great location - close to the train station, and many museums, restaurants, etc. within walking distance. The breakfast buffet was varied and substantial. The hotel sauna and pool were very nice. Only quibble re: the use of the sauna. They request going totally nude, but if one wants to have a dip in the pool to cool off, what is wrong with wearing a swim suit inside?

Bien situé

J’étais au niveau 4. La chambre avait une jolie vue, le lit très confortable, le petit déjeuner était super, bien situé, proche de station de métro et bus etc, on peut même marcher jusqu'à la gare de train centrale. C'est un très grand hôtel, donc ça va avec la quantité des autres touristes, et la propriété dans les espace communs n'est pas top top.
