Nice new hotel with train station, buses and trams all nearby. Also walkable to the centre and port. Room was small, clean and basic. Ideal for short stays. Would recommend.

We were locked in our room. The handle on the door was malfunctioning. We had to activate our phone’s service to contact the desk, $12.
The concept is interesting - no front desk, common areas where you can cook or visit, small rooms, etc. Even though the room was tiny, it had everything we needed, and we loved the big windows looking out on the city. It was new and spotlessly clean and the bed was heavenly comfortable. It was within walking distance of the Helsinki Cathedral and harbor area. There were some great little restaurants in the neighborhood. We'd highly recommend it.
Simple. Efficient. Clean. Great staff. Watch for Alex and Erin. Possibly the best team ever... What fine people ... Thank you guys 🙏 Kiitos!!!
Fully recommended!!!!
Super clean and convenient location. Close to shops and many food options. Loved the small market located attached to hotel building for meal options when you don’t want to eat out or do fast food. Public transportation just steps away. Would not hesitate to come back!
The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and the location was good, right around the corner from a metro station, just 2 stops to central station. Neighborhood was safe and quiet, and its very close to a 24 hour grocery store. I would stay here again.
Modern hotel, great reception area and good use of technology. Excellent amenities. Nice bathrooms. Only negative, the flooring in the bedroom is like a course vinyl, clearly installed to last and easy to clean, but not very comfortable to walk on.

The staff was excellent, the location was very good and highly recommend this place to stay.
This is the second citybox hotel we have stayed at and it was just as good as the first! Would highly recommend the company. The hotel is clean, accessible and the communal areas are great. The only issue we have is that there is a coffee machine where you can purchase different coffee and as a non-coffee drinker a machine that also had tea or hot chocolate options would be a nice addition!
I LOVED this hotel! I can’t believe the price for what you get here. The location is perfect too, lots of restaurants and coffee shops walking distance and in a very nice are. I would definitely stay here again!
