Unusual Hotel. Art based. No Restaurant. Breakfast available. Snacks, liquor, and a reading book selection. Very helpful and pleasant staff. Rooms are small but modern, clean and interesting, artwise. Guests are encouraged to come down to Lobby area where people congregate and visit.

Fantastiskt boende med bra möjligheter till lokaltrafik. Fräscht, supertrevlig personal, underbar säng med ett hav av kuddar, fantastisk frukost och ett extraplus att det fanns böcker, spel och målarböcker i lobbyn! Enda nackdelen är väl om man ska bo en längre tid och det inte finns någon garderob.

Great property, lovely bar and hangout area Lacks places to out your stuff, even a small dresser would help. While compact we have stayed here for business twice because of the great art, warm environment and a lobby bar. The location is good depending on what you’re doing in Helsinki, we find it mostly walkable and easy to get around

The hotel is really outstanding and good reachable with the public transport. The staffs are super friendly, everything is clean and you can rest very well. You aren't that far from the main station. It was my second stay, last year I also already stayed at this hotel and if you wanna do a day trip to Tallinn the hotel is nearby by the port.

The rooms are very nice, the bed comfortable and the blankets thick. The only thing I didn't appreciate was the shower. I have stayed in many eco-friendly hotels before, but this one seems to restrict water pressure. This combined with only a small shower head means you can only apply water to abiut a 5 inch circumference of your body at a time, and makes rinsing thick hair almost impossible.

Really nice looking and "fresh" hotel! Unfortunately the bed was much too hard and below hotel standard. The cover on bed was very thick and extremely warm synthetics, totally too sweaty for June, probably suitable for a cold cabin in the woods during the winter. The pillows were way to thick and only look good, but are useless for ergonomic sleeping support. So the verdict is that the hotel "looks" good, but offer poor comfort/ergonomics for sleeping.

Beautilly done hotel, but my room with a king bed was cramped and stuffy. They loaned me a fan so i was comfortable. Windows do not open, no safe or fridge. Rooms were quiet, with a comfortable mattress. Definitely not a room for two travelers with large suitcase to unpack or need a work space for lap tops. It was great to have a tram stop just outside the hotel that will get you to the airport with one change for 4,10 €. Take the 9 train, either A or B. It is a16 minute walk to the # 2 ferry terminal. Street seemed safe at all hours.

A very nice hotel with spectacuar art, we liked that and the breakfast was good. What wasn't good was the bed, it was so hard I could not sleep until I had put every pillow I could find in the room on top of the madrass. It would be nice to be asked if you like to sleep on a hard madrass or soft/medium when you book.

I think the design and interior are clearly the strong points of this hotel. While rooms are fairly compact, I like how they laid out and how rooms look and feel. Pillows are nice and darkening curtains are great. So it provides good sleeps. The breakfast side is a bit, well somehow narrow. I mean, I like the stuff they have, particularly freshly baked bagels are great and same applies to their home made jams and everything that's available is pretty high quality. I would wish they had real cappuccino available in addition to filter coffee as well as a bit more variety on the veggies and warm dishes side. While the service is generally friendly there's quite a small amount of personnel, usually for example getting check-in done requires a bit of waiting. What comes to location, a bit off from very center from most travelers point of view, how ever for me quite close of our Helsinki office & climbing gym, it works quite well. Overall it's been good quality for money.

The worst experience ever! Never ever again and strong recommendation for everyone to avoid this place. We had team event. All the rooms was pre-paid, but upon arrival for 3 people there was no place to stay, so one person was redirected to another hotel. 2 other had to stay in one room. Just because “the hotel was overbooked”. Never ever again!!!

The location was super convenient, 20-min to most of the attraction points, a bit further from the airport though, luckily the transportation was super easy and affordable, as long as you leave enough time traveling to the airport, you are all set.

Very nice room with big TV with cast option. A (real) coffemaker in the room would have been perfect. No small fridge, but you can get a cooler. Breakfast was varied with hot and cold options. Too bad the coffee was only pre-brewed (cappuccino or espresso costs extra). Vegan options are nice, but i would have liked a diabetes friendly sweetener option.
