I stayed at the hotel in Scandinavia and found the rooms to be clean and practical. The executive room I had was warm at times but not unbearable. The service had its ups and downs, with the reception lacking presence at times but being very helpful during our complicated arrival. The location was ideal for my purposes, being close to the Exhibition Centre and the train station. The dining experience was excellent, and the facilities overall were top-notch.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms had a lovely view, were very comfortable, and incredibly quiet. It was especially nice being warm inside with the snow outside. The beds were super comfortable, making for a great night's sleep. However, the location might be a bit inconvenient if you want to explore downtown Helsinki. The service was top-notch with genuinely polite and helpful staff. The dining selection was various and delicious, offering a lovely and organized experience. The facilities were modern and up to date, providing a great overall experience.

I found the hotel to be a pleasant surprise overall. The rooms were bigger and quieter than expected, with a very cozy bed and nice decor, although there was a faint technical smell lingering from recent renovations. The service was accommodating and friendly, especially during our complicated arrival. The location was ideal for my needs, offering convenient access to both the city center and events at the nearby arena. The dining experience was quite enjoyable with a varied and fresh buffet. The facilities were generally good, with some room for improvement.

The hotel offers excellent, spacious rooms with good bathrooms, although the mattress was a bit firm. It was very quiet, large, and nicely decorated, providing a very comfortable stay. The service was friendly and helpful. The location is convenient for business at the Messukeskus/Convention center but a bit distant from downtown Helsinki. The dining options were quite good overall. The facilities were well-equipped, although they were mostly available after 3 pm.

The hotel has new rooms with a beautiful modern cozy design, but it was a bit cold for me. The service was friendly and obliging, especially a Lady who has to sit in the car during parking. The location is perfect if you're going to Hartwall Arena for a concert or other event, but dining could be a bit cheaper. The facilities were good.

The hotel was very comfortable and very quiet, offering excellent spacious rooms with a good bathroom and a tight mattress, ideal for calming down after a long journey. The location is perfect for those attending events at the Expo Center or Hartwall Arena, but a bit out of the way for downtown Helsinki explorations. The service was fantastic, with polite and helpful staff, although there was a minor delay at the reception desk. Dining was my favorite, offering various and delicious options, but slightly overpriced compared to similar offerings. The facilities were top-notch, providing a great experience overall.
