I really enjoyed staying at this hotel because it is very convenient for sightseeing. It made me happy, as one of the main reasons I visited Helsinki was to explore the city, and the location was perfect for that. In addition, the hotel has a unique design, and I heard that it used to be an office building for a train company. The hotel is well organized and well maintained, and I was very satisfied with my stay.
