Housed in a converted prison from 1837, this atmospheric hotel is found on Katajanokka Island in central Helsinki.

We booked a Superior King which was spacious and clean. The bed was very comfortable and room was exceptionally quiet. Surprised the fridge was empty and we had to move the kettle to find a plug socket. The bath was big which was great. The Breakfast was exceptionally good! A wide choice of cold and hot food. Even Skagen! The scrambled egg didn't taste rubbery like some hotels and was moist. Coffee could be better but just nitpicking. The location from our point of view was excellent. It was quiet, close to the sea, marketplace, town and facilities.

    This was our second stay - we had returned to Helsinki after a few days elsewhere in Finland. It was even better than the first because they gave us a free room upgrade. A lovely bright well designed hotel. Gorgeous breakfasts too.

    The interior design is thoughtful, stylish and functional. The room has a lot of convenient shelves and no unnecessary things. Everything was very clean, a pleasant surprise was the heated floor in the bathroom and conveniently adjustable lighting. Varied breakfast. The hotel staff is very friendly and helpful.

    From the warm and friendly check in experience, to the spotless and well appointed room, this hotel delivers an exceptional guest experience. We loved the funky vibe, tasty snacks, cold craft beers and little touches like mini fridge in the room, and USB outlets bedside. Deluxe shower, comfy bed, stylish Nordic design features and cool art, the list goes on.

    I liked the surroundings, the proximity to the shops, the privacy, the interior design was intelligent and stylish,the peculiar floor material was modern, the curtains harmonized with the colors in the room. The air temperature was well adjustable. Liked the self- service. Wall lamps and switches and electrical charging facilities in a convenient location.

    One of the best hotels I've ever seen in Helsinki, especially taking into account the local prices. The rooms are very nice, lobby area is classy, and the whole interior design is gorgeous. Certainly would recommend this place to anyone who's going to visit Helsinki. Tram stop is right in front of the hotel and you'll get to the downtown in a 15 minutes. The staff of the hotel is friendly and polite, so folks are doing their business with an attitude.
