After staying at Hanaholmen near Helsinki- a similarly priced hotel with a thousand times more charm, a free sauna, and air conditioning- this place was a let down in most ways, but there are a few good things. Service was very nice and helpful. (E.g. they let me put leftovers from dinner in their fridge overnight to take the next day). Its location is good. Parking is €14 per day, which is not bad to make sure your car is safe. That said, there are only about 10 spots adjacent to the hotel. The first day we got a spot but the second we did not. I was told I could not park in the open area in front of the hotel but later saw all the cars had “Centro Hotel Parking” papers so I don’t understand why I couldn’t park there. There is another garage you can park in for the same price. Room was clean. Doors use old school keys rather than a key card. I only received one key for two guests. No big deal but it may affect you. The window only opens a little bit which is disappointing. There was a ceiling fan but at medium and high speeds ours squeaked terribly. With the curtain closed to block the endless summer light, little air could get in the room. Before bed I propped the door open to get a draft. The room stayed very warm at night as a result. Oh, and there was no box of tissues in the room! Strange. Bathroom is tiny but shower pressure is good. Walls are thin- I could hear the guest (probably a man) in the next room peeing in his toilet. Towels are fluffy and soft. Pillows are a little flat and mine was smaller than a standard American one! I asked for a second pillow for the second night and the one I got was actually bigger. Strange. Breakfast was good and filling. There were American-like cereals in addition to oatmeal, yoghurt, meats, cheeses, fruits, breads, jams, a few veggies, and a couple of small pastries. In short, the value for this place is questionable if it’s warm outside.
Excellent
