10/10 Exceptional

Excellent hotel and really helpful staff.

My only grip is, the porridge at breakfast was only luke warm and very thick, the beans were also luke warm, i didn't eat any other hot food at breakfast, therefore i don't know if all the hot food wasn't very hot.

A pleasant surprise in the center of Helsinki

+ friendly staff + great breakfast (lot of options, eg. ice coffee with oat milk), delicious porridge + nice hallways + surprisingly quiet - we had made online check-in but still had to queue to get the room key - the bathroom had a light on at all times - not that convenient during the night
