Very centrally located hotel. Staff was very nice and the breakfast, while not included in my room price was worth it. The bed was very comfortable as were the -pillows which often complain about.

I have mixed feelings about this hotel. I made a wrong booking in terms of the dates and immediately reached out to Expedia to correct it. One of the 2 rooms I booked should be 1 night less and the other room should be 1 night more. Both Expedia and myself were not able to get any response from the hotel despite our constant effort and it was only half resolved (on 1 of the room bookings and not both), after I escalated this matter to their senior management. It had been quite a nightmare trying to coordinate this with the hotel and Expedia and the hotel just went radio silent when I tried to follow up. So be warned this hotel does not reply to any messages via Expedia nor their hotel support email address, which is appalling for such a reputable chain.

Decor was classy and room was well laid out and spacious. Staff was friendly and helpful and showed initiative when providing information. Location was right next to Helsinki train station which was convenient but would have been better if there was a direct indoor link.

Very close to the train station, great breakfast options with freshly baked cinammon rolls that waiters come and serve you. Clean modernly designed rooms with good showers. And there is also to check in early for additional 70 euros. The bath towels are quite thin and you can tell its been quite used as the threads are coming off. And no kettle in the room, you have to go to the Reception to get it.
