I am really impressed with this hotel. It is only 10-15 minutes walk away from the train station. I was able to check in early due to my train journey from Helsinki arriving at 09.45. So I did not have to wait around until 14.00. I would stay here again.

Travel in time - with style

Jump into style of fifties by opening the door. Authentic interior of the era of after war in Finland. Don't miss the priceless lamps by Paavo Tynell in the Restaurant. Modern hotels are all pretty much the same - but this one is a true time machine <3

Viihtyisä hotelli

Huone sekä hotelli siisti, viihtyisä ja täynnä historian havinaa. Ehdottomasti kokemisen arvoinen. Pienenä miinuksena kuumuus, mutta isona plussan ja helpotusta tuovana oli tuuletin sekä mahdollisuus ikkunan avaamiseen.

Matkalla Ruotsiin!

Huoneessa ei ollut ilmastointia niin yö oli hieman tukala avoimesta ikkunasta huolimatta. Hyvä äänieristys huoneissa. Aamupala hyvä ja riittävän monipuolinen.

Uniikki, historiallinen hotelli

Upea historiallinen kohde, henkii vanhaa arvokasta tyyliä. Tykkäsin todella. Huone oli upea ja varsinkin ruokasali. Pöytäliinat ja monipuolinen aamupala. Ystävällinen palvelu.

Reissussa

Hotelli ja huone oli siisti, mutta kylpyhuone kaipaisi pientä kunnostusta, esim. suihkukaapin ovi oli rikki. Helteellä huoneessa on kuuma nukkua, koska ei ole ilmastointia. Aamupala on erinomainen.
