I really liked this place and, since I went to two other Sokos hotels first by mistake, I could see that this one was by far the best. It's either recently been refurbished (indeed, a new section of the dining room was opened the day after I arrived) or it's particularly well-looked-after. Rooms (think I was in 405) are all... More

This very friendly hotel allowed us an early checkin after an early morning flight from Hong Kong. Comfortable, friendly, and well appointed with an excellent breakfast prior to an early morning flight out again the following day. An excellent base for a short stay in Helsinki and acclimatising to winter weather.

Been here a few times and are quite satisfied with the hotel. Rooms are normal Finnish hotel rooms. Nothing fancy. Service has been ok and the breakfast normal. If you want something special then this hotel is not for you. Best part of this hotel is the location. It's just 0,5 km to the city center.

Easy to access. Located very close to city center (5min walk). Rooms are spotless and quite big and quiet. Guaranteed good night sleep in silence! Public areas etc also clean and look fresh. Breakfast is good!

I only stayed in the hotel for one night, but I was impressed by the casual, down-to-earth friendliness of the staff. Hotel is fairly new, so rooms and public areas are nice and clean. They have some interesting special rooms as well (for example, a room designed by a legendary Finnish rock star Remu). Location is not at the heart... More

To be honset I was not that keen on this hotel Reception looks dated and had a kiddies corner......... What is that all about??? Don't like that at all. It's a hotel not a crèche. My room was clean but not very big. The furniture reminded me of ikea. Cheap and cheerful...... The bed was very comfy...... Bathroom was spotless... More

3 night visit, for business. Hotel was in a great location...could walk to restaurants, stores, etc. Staff were fantastic...very polite, well informed. The room was clean. I really appreciate their approach to making things environmentally sounds (e.g. lights are motion activated). The restaurant in the hotel was very good: good prices, excellent food. The hotel sauna was fairly good: nice... More

Very clean rooms, good breakfast served in a stylish breakfast room, free sauna. Very friendly staff, ready to help you even at midnight! The hotel is placed in a good area, 10 min walk to the central station, 15 min walk to the main shopping street-Aleksanterikatu, 5 min walk to the pedestrian street full of restaurants, fast-food&bars. Because of the... More

- handicapped room is spacious, in fact double the size of conventional rooms and nicely furnished with vintage scandinavian style. - room facing the back court yard, which is of limited visual appeal, but quieter, i guess. - rooms are very clean. - bathroom is large enough and useable for a paraplegic, tetraplegics may have problems using the shower seat...
