立地が良く、また、日本のホテルのように飲み物も準備されていたし、フィンランドならではで、サウナもあったし、とても快適に過ごせた。 唯一のマイナス点は、チェックインの際、対応が非常に遅く、職員が途中でいなくなったり、他の客と驚きながら、かなり長く待った。

3泊滞在しました。 駅からすぐのホテルなので、重たいスーツケースを持って歩き回らなくていいので、初日も朝から活動出来て良かったです！下にスーパーもあるのでお土産を買うのに便利でした。 またお部屋にはバスタブやホットココアなどの飲み物もあり、疲れも取れました。 そして何より、朝食をとるレストランからの眺めが最高で、毎日その景色を堪能しました！ お部屋の掃除はなぜか初日のみでその後はありませんでしたが、3泊なので気になりませんでした。 またヘルシンキに行った時にも利用したいです！
