Heymo 1 by Sokos Hotels Reviews

This new hotel in Keilaniemi Espoo opened a couple of weeks ago. From the Keilaniemi metro station is a 5-minute walk to the hotel. This hotel has a new concept where you pay only for what you need. For example, breakfast is not included in the room rate as always in Sokos hotels. We booked the best room category, the Heymo Room. It is a little bit strange room because it consists of three connecting rooms. So we had three bathrooms and seven beds. The bed in the middle room could be transformed into a big table. Also, this room had a fridge and a microwave oven. The other two didn't have even a fridge. We made a self-check-in but that was a mistake because we got keys only to the middle room. We had to go down where two fixers were sitting behind a desk and ask for them the other keys. Then we could open the connecting doors to other rooms and find out that there was no soap or shampoo in any of these three bathrooms. After two contacts with these fixers, high-quality Lumene products were delivered. The biggest problem in this Heymo Room is the connecting doors between the rooms. They were heavy to open and had two doors per entrance. The doors had tight springs and were banging loudly when closing. This problem has already been noticed and probably there are some fixes coming. Maybe this Heymo Room should be sold as a two-room entity with one bedroom and the meeting room. So the connecting doors could be completely removed. The other bedroom with three beds could be connected only if needed and with an extra charge. The breakfast was to be bought from the lobby's smart lockers. If you book the breakfast in advance, it is 8,50 euros per person. We bought our breakfast from the nearby Alepa grocery store. The rooms are quite small but have a stylish fresh decor. The bathrooms have nice rain showers. The fixers were friendly and tried to fix the problems. However, maybe this hotel concept is not made for us. We like to have personal service and hotel facilities like a bar and a restaurant. We booked our room from a sale and paid for it 120 euros. The value was quite good. If we would have paid the normal price of over 200 euros the value wouldn't have been so good and I would have given only three stars.
