This was our third time. You cannot beat the location, so easy to get to the train to and from the airport as well as to the local transportation. Excellent breakfast and the rooms are nice. It was very hot in Helsinki that week so the AC could have been cooler to our taste. It could only be lowered a few degrees

Directly behind the central train station but it’s quiet and safe. In the central part of the city with easy access to restaurants, shopping and bars. The tram to the ferry station is also right across the street. Hotel is big and spacious.
