"Good location- Tram righting front. Quiet, but a little low lighting. Food very good, but displayed"

Exceptional

My room located on main floor near everything- but was a little stuffy . No armored in the room but the staff supplied a small fan that worked very well. It was quiet. Large high windows were covered by the tall dark curtains- sufficient to block light/

Low lighting in restaurant difficult to wake up in morning. also, a little crowded assemble of the food at breakfast.

Location. Dinner included.

The rooms are very dark. Dark carpet and dark walls and window curtains. My room was not as bad as others as I had 2 windows.

Lits confortables. Bonne insonorisation.

Je déconseille la demi-pension, les repas sont médiocres et ils enlèvent toute la nourriture du buffet à 20h pétante. Quasi aucune chaîne internationale ds les chambres, et même pas d'accès Netflix ou autre.

Optimale Lage: einerseits zum Fährhafen (Fähre nach Tallinn) und andererseits zum Stadtzentrum von Helsinki (Tramhaltestelle direkt vor dem Hotel). Sehr gutes Halbpensionsangebot). Sehr freundliches Personal.

Alles war sehr gut!

Merkeze yakınlığı ve önünde tramvay durağının olması. Bulunduğu bölge çok güzel. Yemeklerde çeşit yok ama özenli hazırlanmıştı. Junior suit için sauna deneyimi güzeldi. Çalışanlar güler yüzlüydü.

Suit oda beklentisini düşük tutun maalesef ayrı bir alanı yok. Odalar küçük. Akşamları soğuk oluyor bu yüzden ısıtıcı istedik. Odaya su hiç bırakılmıyor ve aynı zamanda pamuk, diş kiti vs.de yok maalesef.
