Located right in the city center, a short pleasant walk from at least 7 museums. Newly renovated room with an amazing shower. Really appreciated the Lumine toiletries. A nice selection of foods for breakfast. An onsite restaurant. Dogs allowed.

“Beautifully modernised hotel in a perfect location.”
Excellent location overlooking the lake on the quiet side and very near the train station. The hotel has just been totally renovated and is beautiful and stylish. It is very clean although our room was not serviced, despite our requesting this.

“Lovely room in beautiful hotel.”
The property was right on the lake and was beautiful. The receptionist could not have done enough for us and the room had the most wonderful view. We were given a key to open the fixed windows which was the icing on the cake.

“Wonderful convenient lakeside hotel”
Very friendly and helpful staff, they gave us good tips about local area and made us traditional Finnish gins! The hotel is a stone's throw from the railway station but is very quiet. It has a beautiful location by the lake, a few minutes from town, and also right on the beautiful lakeside path. The hotel lent us free bikes which makes it very easy to cycle into town and along the lake side. The breakfast is really really good! Highly recommend this place.

“abssurd & discusting experiance that is becoming the new norm thanks to the worlds multinationals”
The front desk female employee informed me that the hotel was fully occupied & she had no rooms available I went to my car & made booking on line ten minnutes later I walk back into the hotel loby & showed the same employee my payed booking reservation she again told me that she has no room to give me , I have protested how can booking.com sell rooms in the property , when there are no rooms to sell after about ten minutes deliberations she instructed me to send her my booking confimatiom to the hotel property & provided me w. emailaddress I went back to my car & sent her the booking.com paid room reservation when I returnd to the hotel loby she told me aggain that she has no room for me at that point I didn't know how to deal w. my situation while remaining in the loby about five or less than ten minutes later other hotel employee aproched me & addressed me "Mr Vrabel come let me book you into your room" & so after about an hour I finnaly was provided my room This empolyee directed me to have breakfast in area of the hotel that had some food there in the morning but it appeared very scimpy so I took something , as I am eating it young man aproched my table & asked me If I was cominng for breakfast I replayd yes & so he informed me that the breakfast is served in diferent section of the hotel & what he showed me was respectable Scandinavian standard breakfast table OJ & still mineral water was missinng for my standard. for 190.00 Euros per night very overpriced logging good for corporate people who don't pay anything for it & don't care what it cost or what they get. From this experiance it shows that this company can employ people that can refuse custumers bringing practicaly free money to they doors leasure traveler needs to stay home & just send money!
