convenient location short walk comprehensive selection disorganized process daily service limited hours

The location was VERY convenient. The central train station was within a short walk, and that saved me time. The breakfast was also a highlight. It offered a comprehensive selection.

The check-in process felt a bit disorganized at times. I found myself waiting longer than expected. The room cleaning was not a daily service. This was somewhat inconvenient. The sauna access had limited hours during weekdays. I could not use it when I wanted.

Decent Stay in Central Location

central location spacious breakfast room themed floors poor ventilation unenthusiastic staff unclean sink

The hotel's location was central, a definite plus for exploring. I found the breakfast room spacious. It was good to see a very ample buffet each morning. I also liked the Finnish design and themed floors. It added a unique touch.

The check-in process reminded me of a complete disaster. I waited around for about 15 minutes, and the receptionist checked me in with a lack of enthusiasm. The bathroom ventilation wasn't working well. The bathroom would be completely filled with vapor after a short shower. The sink in the bathroom also was not clean.
