The hotel is in a prime location with direct access to Kamppi metro station and the 2 big malls Kamppi & Forum. The room I stayed in was a bit crowded in the morning, with some cleanliness issues like hair on the floor and uncleaned toilet, but the absence of a kettle was a downside. However, the excellent location made up for these shortcomings.

The hotel is in a superb location, easily reached by metro/tram/bus and even on foot, right in the heart of central Helsinki.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The room experience was a bit of a hassle with the initial issues of cleanliness and size, but eventually, after some effort, I got an upgrade to a modern and comfortable room. However, the upgrade didn't offer any significant improvement. The service was top-notch with accommodating staff, especially in assisting with dietary restrictions. The location was perfect, close to transportation and surrounded by various dining and shopping options. The dining experience was impressive with a variety of options, but the setup seemed a bit scattered. Overall, a mix of highs and lows.

The hotel is situated in a fantastic location, close to downtown, all major sightseeing spots, the central station, and a shopping center. My family and I were delighted with the excellent service that included a complimentary late check-out. The rooms were superbly clean and exceedingly comfortable; however, a mix-up with the bed arrangement was a small inconvenience. The culinary delights offered a wide array of options to savor, but could use a greater variety, especially in the Chinese food section.
