The hotel is perfect for a relaxing vacation especially coming from North America. My husband and I love everything about it, let alone the services provided and the strategic location as it's very close to shopping, dining facilities and other points of interest. Highly recommended-a safe, clean and amazing ambiance.

The hotel is centrally located in the historic section of Helsinki. It's adjacent to the train station and the hub for busses and trolleys. It is easy walking distance to the major museums, galleries and the harbor marketplace. It is also close to major shopping centers and high end stores. There are many restaurant options nearby.
