small room tv remote
the room was small i expected more space considering the price i paid the tv remote also didn't work which was annoying especially at night i had to manually change channels. breakfast got crowded fast i found it hard to find a seat during peak hours it was a bit chaotic. the shower temperature was inconsistent sometimes too hot sometimes too cold making it hard to enjoy a relaxing shower.

The location is really good, close to the train station and several shops. adalina at the front desk was especially helpful. the breakfast included many choices. I even noticed vegan and gluten-free options available. the room on the eighth floor remained quiet at night.

romantic escape in the heart
central location spacious room good isolation
the location is just perfect near the train station and many landmarks were reachable by walk. our room was spacious and had a balcony which was a lovely surprise. sound isolation was very good, i barely heard any noise. beds were very comfortable, like sleeping on clouds.
sound isolation from the hallway was poor, i could hear every word when someone walked by. the doors in the room seem old and they did not block out much sound.

the breakfast offered finnish specialties i never tried before such as rye bread and karelian pie. the selection was quite rich and tasted fresh. porridge was a real discovery to me.

the location proved ideal, a short walk from the train station (a true blessing after a long journey). the breakfast buffet was substantial. i particularly enjoyed the fresh pastries offered each morning.
The room doors could use some soundproofing. Hallway noise was noticeable.
