Central location right in the heart of the city. Room was quiet at the back of the hotel. Air conditioning didn’t work and only a small window to open.

Great location and rooms in good condition. Staff’s attitude atrocious though. Hardly a welcome, reluctant to give directions, restaurant recommendations. The cleaning staff were very noisy, started at 6am! Gym didn’t open until 10am and closed at 9pm, longer opening times warranted esp when can’t sleep with noise from cleaning staff and door slamming!

Huvä sijainti. Ystävällinen henkilökunta. Maittava ja runsas aamupala, vaikka vähän kallis.

Breakfast without fresh vegetables!

Pros: Location excellent, but the room quite worn.
Cons: There are no fresh vegetables e.g. lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes at breakfast buffet! Why?
Location: Location couldn't be much better between Old Town and Guggenheim
Reasonable price.
