What a wonderful three nights we had at this fabulous hotel in the beautiful city of Helsinki. The conversion of this former gaol into a hotel has been creative and innovative.The location is convenient to the tram, waterfront and local restaurants. Our room was large, incredibly quiet and super comfortable. The inclusion in the tariff of breakfast, afternoon tea and the evening meal made it excellent value for money and added to the “ homely” environment they have successfully created. The staff were friendly and very helpful. I cannot recommend this hotel more highly and wouldn’t hesitate to return.

Location and history of property was good. Shower was unsafe as too difficult to get into and temperature made the room unbearably hot and stuffy as no air conditioning. Providing a tiny fan just did not cut it.

I wish it was November.

The hotel would be amazing if it was so hot in Helsinki this week. I reserved a superior double with a king bed. It was a large, beautifully decorated room that was hot and humid. Ugh! I never checked if it had air-conditioning. I know that they don't need it most of the year, but even with the fan I got from the front desk, it was terribly hot. The windows don't open. It was hard to sleep if you are sweaty. Other than that, everything else waa great. Breakfast was excellent and dinner was a great savings for the long vacation we were on. There is a tram right outside to take you wherever you wanted to go. I would stay her again at a cooler time of year.

They have a problem with little or no air conditioning in the rooms and you cannot open the windows. Also, the refrigerator was non-functioning. Also, parking requires a permit from the city and the hotel does not tell you that. Found that out the hard way with a ticket on the windshield.
