The hotel is ideally situated just a block from the Esplanade and City Center of Helsinki, offering easy access to good restaurants, shopping, and sightseeing. The rooms are spacious, clean, and boast high ceilings and great design, although facing an office building across the street. The service embodies Finnish hospitality with calm, polite, and charming staff. The dining experience, served in a separate part of the hotel overlooking the sea, was very good, but it could be elevated further. Overall, a convenient central location with comfortable rooms and excellent service.

My stay at the hotel was truly wonderful. The full harbor view from the rooms was impressive and definitely worth it. The room size was just perfect for a couple like us. It was comfortable, and we enjoyed a lovely view of the harbor. However, having a pillar in the middle of the room was a bit unusual.
