Warning for others: "The room is located on the Yrjönkatu side and has a peaceful view to the courtyard." means you have to enter the hotel from one side, ride an elevator, walk to another building and ride another elevator (1960s standard elevator btw) to get to your room. Couldn't change coldness of ac. Weird bathtub setup causes water everywhere.

Very well located hotel , good value for money , excellent staff . Book a room the main wing and through the hotel website . check in is at 4:00 pm and 20 euros if you want to have your room before that time . Rooms are basic but neat clean and comfortable . Bathrooms are small ( no shower cap and lotion ) We emailed in advance and asked for a room with good natural light and they gave us a room on the top floor with huge windows and a view of the city . Breakfast was very well arranged even though the number of people in each time slot ( you have to pre book your time ) is a lot !!! There is a live omletter staion , Fresh Juice Bar , waffle maker ... all which was unique to any other European hotel we have visited . Lots of hot options , breads , cheese , eggs, gluten free , dairy free. Overall we were very happy with this hotel

The location is the absolute best… right across the tram, few minutes walk to the train station and within walking distance to multiple parts of Helsinki city centre.The way to the room was an odd one, spooky, but as a Halloween lover I preferred it. My room was on the 5th floor, but to get to it you had to take the lift to the 3rd floor. THEN walk to a different part of the Marski building (it looked like the original perhaps before it expanded) to go to the 5th floor. There was a vintage style lift with the gate you had to close and everything. I quite enjoyed that.There is a mini fridge, a TV and the bed was comfortable. The AC was brilliant, especially on hot days and the shower was great as well. I accidentally booked on two separate ones and the desk helped me stay in one room with ease, though I understandably had to pay a bit of a fee as my current room was an upgrade from the other.My critique would be that I wish there was more attention to detail for the room service. It seems they don’t vacuum or replace the sheets/used cups, or properly clean, they only take out the bins. Also my room tag tore apart from previous stays overuse but it was never replaced — the one that says Do Not Disturb. I would absolutely stay here again, however. The Finns are great.

The hotel is beautiful, clean and well maintained, with large different varied hosting areas. Centrally located. Staff attitude is attentive. Breakfast is wonderful and very varied, although it was hard to find vacant tables at certain days, in spite of having made a pre-reserved booking. The elevators' floor pre-attend is very convenient. The noise from the street by cars and tram horns could be solved by closing the windows, however, the air-conditioning is not self-controlled and not effective...

I really loved my stay here. The room was spacious, clean, and modern, and service was polite and friendly. The location of the hotel is probably the highlight - it’s across the street from Stockmann, right outside a tram stop, and very near the main shopping belt and esplanade, so getting around the city is so easy. I’ll strongly consider staying here again when I’m next in Helsinki.

We spent a long weekend here with our family. The location is excellent if you want to stay in the heart of Helsinki, and the parking garage beneath the hotel is convenient. However, space is tight, so you need to be careful with a larger car. We stayed in a Grande Double room with extra beds. The view from the seventh floor was superb. The room itself felt surprisingly cramped, with very little space to open our suitcases, although some of this was to be expected with the extra beds in place. The biggest downside of the room was the dim lighting, particularly in the bathroom. The bathtub also had a very narrow glass shower screen, which did little to prevent water from splashing onto the floor. No matter how careful we were, water ended up all over the floor after every shower. There was no squeegee or anything else to dry it with, apart from the bath towels. Breakfast was another source of frustration. The food selection was excellent, but finding a free table was repeatedly a problem. Guests were wandering around looking for somewhere to sit. On one occasion, we ended up eating at a tiny table below knee height, with too little room for everyone’s plates. Even though there are predefined breakfast time slots for each guest, it obviously seems that a system where guests are seated as tables become available would make the experience much more comfortable. The staff, however, were consistently friendly and helpful, both before our arrival and throughout our stay.

I stayed in a windowless room and was highly satisfied with it—it was quiet and comfortable. The bathroom was super stylish, and both check-in and check-out went incredibly smoothly. |Superb location—smack in the middle of the city center, right opposite Svenska Teatern!|A huge plus was that they let me leave my bags. The only downside is the complete lack of visible Swedish at the hotel, which is disappointing since Finland is a bilingual country. Highly recommended overall!

Perfect location to sights, restaurants, bars, shops. Very clean rooms. Small room but very comfortable. Bathroom was large and gorgeous. Could use double sinks, but otherwise, wonderful. |Quiet at night. Our room faced the court yard. So it was very quiet. |Staff were amazing. Nelly at the front desk went above and beyond for us and made sure we were taken care of. |I highly recommend this hotel.
