I stayed at this hotel recently and found it to be pretty decent overall. The rooms were quite nice for the price and had a comfortable vibe, which I appreciated. The staff was friendly and attentive, making my experience better. However, I did notice that cleanliness could have been improved. The location was okay, a bit away from the main attractions, requiring public transport to reach central areas, but it was manageable.

I recently stayed at the hotel and found its location to be quite convenient, especially for attending the conference at the University of Helsinki. The staff was friendly and polite, which made my stay pleasant. However, the rooms are in serious need of updating, particularly the bathrooms and curtains, which felt a bit worn out. The breakfast options were also quite limited, leaving something to be desired. Overall, it's decent value for money but could use improvements in some areas.
