Premium location and tranquility

Liked: Location of this hotel is amazing as is the entire Baltic sea shore around Helsinki. The staff is amazing as well.

Excellent.

Liked: Excellent hotel. Would definitely consider coming back. The building is a cross between the Barbican and Tebay Hotel in Westmoreland, which we liked. The food was excellent. Very clean and comfortable. Lovely pool and saunas. The hotel is also a cultural/conference centre designed to promote Swedish/Finnish relations, which wasn’t immediately clear when booking, but this added to the interest.

Brilliant combination of food, nature,...

Liked: Unique location, just outside the center of Helsinki, at the edge of a small peninsula that juts out into a maze of water and forested islands, this hotel manages to balance tranquility, with gastronomy, architecture and nature. I’ve stayed in many many hotels, but nothing like this - it may have been one of the best allround experiences ever.The building is well-preserved 70s architecture; long lines, oak wood and brushed concrete slabs. Rooms are spacious and bright and were updated quite recently. Bathrooms are clean and well-organized; excellent water pressure. Spotless maintenance. Service is professional and kind; open to requests and suggestions. There’s a decently-sized indoor pool, suitable for those wanting to get some laps in at the start of the day. A pier juts out into the water, allowing a courtside seat for summery sunsets. I didn’t use the sauna but, hey, this is Finland, I’m sure it will be on par. They host weddings in a dedicated space next to the restaurant, but the layout is such that there is actually no noise coming from that at all.Parking is amply available and there is a convenient connections to public transport nearby (public bikes for 10 euros per week and a subway station at 10 minutes walking. Time to central Helsinki is probably 20-25 mins.The natural surroundings are unforgettable; spruces dot the coastline, mossy big boulders here and there, as if dropped by giants. Terns and cormorants patrolling the shallows. If your aim is to relax with quiet and lovely views, come here.Lastly the food: the hotel harbours a professional restaurant, Platz, which serves a buffet breakfast featuring hot and cold options, various juices and a large terrace. They also offer very good dining in the late afternoon and evenings; properly delicious local menu options, combined with super friendly service. For those seeking gluten-free, this restaurant has no issues with that at all.
Disliked: There really is nothing that comes to mind - I had the greatest of times and was sorry to go.

Liked: Great location, Excellent breakfast and friendly staff!

Cool vibes with a bit...

Liked: Beautiful surroundings and cool 70’s vibe interior. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. You can walk around the property and see sculptures and installations. Breakfast was very tasty :)
Disliked: The pool water was cold for children. You have to rent bathrobe separately.
