Great hotel with a unique style keeping with it's heritage of a old prison. The rooms are spacious and very light. The dining room really atmospheric. Breakfast is excellent with a wide selection for everyone. The location is also fantastic too, a short walk from the harbour and market square, as well as the cathedral. Plus tram 4 stops just outside the hotel and goes into the centre of Helsinki via all key areas. The only disappointing thing about this hotel is that they have a sauna, which is free on weekend mornings, but at check in they fail to tell you this! Sadly I wasn't aware of this and to fire the sauna up at any other time apparently it's €30!!! Potentially a money making option! I would strongly suggest that hotel staff inform you about the sauna at check in, so you're aware of full facilities and restrictions.

Greetings from Katajanokka! It is excellent to hear that you liked the combination of old, historical prison & modern lifestyle hotel and found it also successful. I am sorry for the bad information about our saunas, I will forward the message about it in order to improve this matter. I hope you are enjoying your spring.

Muuten ok mutta iltaruokailumahdollisuuden puute oli todella iso pettymys. Keli oli ihan kamala lähteä muualle syömään.

Hei,kiitos palautteestanne. Ravintola meillä on kiinni sunnuntaisin ja maanantaisin, mutta silloinkin pientä purtavaa on tarjolla aulabaarista.
