The hotel was in a secluded setting on the coast. The breakfast was very very good with exceptional desserts, with variety of good options.

As those taking off early, I loved the hotel's proximity to the sea and its peaceful location in the midst of nature. the availability of bus and metro options made it convenient to explore the city. the natural reserve surrounding the hotel provided ample space for walking and birdwatching. the staff, especially Jelena, were incredibly kind and helpful in resolving any requests or needs, making my stay pleasant even without speaking Finnish. the breakfast was satisfyingly good and there was enough variety to keep me satisfied for my six-day stay. the accommodation itself was comfortable with a balcony overlooking the sea, offering the perfect retreat after a professional event.
Felt completely relaxed, no reason to complain.

The hotel is located in a beautiful place on the Vuosaari, where you can relax. It is a perfect location for families, but also for those who are in Helsinki because of the business purposes. You just need a car to get to the city centre.
Twin room was small, but comfortable.

The pluses of this hotel can be easily changed into minuses it will depend on what you expect of the hotel. The advantages of the hotel for us are : 1. far from the town. If you plan to visit the centre of the town it will take you about 20 minutes to walk to the nearest metro station and 20 minutes by metro but you can stay at the hotel instead and enjoy beautiful nature, a lot of forest paths suitable for long walks, possibility to take a swim on a beach belonging to the hotel; 2. free parking place for a car; 3. nice breakfast buffet including fresh fruit and vegetables, musli, breads, cheese, ham and so on but you should think of lunches and dinners yourself because there are no cafes on its territory. The closest cafe with reasonable prices (8-15 euros for lunch) is in the distance of 10 minutes from the hotel; 4. the rooms are quite ordinary but clean enough (no tv, fridge, hair-dryer, shampoo); 5. friendly and helpful staff

Sauna and water-pool are excellent, seaside is magnificant as well as campus interior - stone rocks and pine-trees. Close to Helsinki center and Itakeskus commertial center, although we had a car. However they have a bus stop right next to the reception doors :)
We took our baby with us and after a while a trash bag in the toilet smelt badly - nobody came to clean it.

Convenient Location 📍: This place is just a stone's throw away from the seashore, downtown, and the subway station. Plus, it's a quick 900 feet stroll to Kallahdenniemen uimaranta beach.

Sauna, swimming pool, nice view from window, balcony, price.
Sauna is closed in the morning hours (opposite to swimming pool, that seems to be strange). Very little bathroom.
Tourists from United States of America often stay at these properties. Consider them for your next trip.
