A really good hotel away from the busy streets. Easy access to the city centre and close to the sea. The breakfast is not huge since they moved it upstairs, but there's about everything you could need. I was happy with it.

A very unique art-themed hotel. Rooms are individually designed but lacking a chair and table. The hotel is located in modern, up and coming (in a nice way) area. I would definitely stay again.

Very nice hotel and super friendly easy-going staff - they helped us handle cake delivery and kindly stored it in the fridge (no fridges in the rooms), even gave us nice cake cutter without demand :)
Excellent breakfast with a variety of hot and cold dishes, fruits and pastry. Cool design and internal areas. Convenient location

Great property, lovely bar and hangout area
Lacks places to out your stuff, even a small dresser would help. While compact we have stayed here for business twice because of the great art, warm environment and a lobby bar. The location is good depending on what you’re doing in Helsinki, we find it mostly walkable and easy to get around
