Kallahden Rantaniityn Nature Reserve

Why does no one say there is no reception here? You check in on your phone or you can't get into the hotel. I didn't know that until I showed up. I would also note that the air conditioner wouldn't move at all: I set the temperature to 20 but it stayed at 22.5 the whole time. This led me to open the window to get cooler air in, but the opening is so small, it had minimal effect. It did, however, allow noise in, which meant at 5 a.m. this morning the garbage guys were dragging cans out over stones and through an echoing passageway for an hour. I have no idea why they start work at 5 a.m. Had the air conditioning worked so the window was closed, it would have reduced the noise quite a bit. I'd upload the video I took if I could. The room was cramped but fine, the location was very good, the other guests were certainly quiet.

This cozy apartment on the old, charming street was just what we needed for our stay in Helsinki. The host was very friendly and welcoming. Te location is fantastic. You can walk around the picturesque Katajanokka island or to the city center from here. Tram routes T6 and T7 will take you to the railway station. The Viking Line ferry terminal is on this island too. Kiitos, Arttu, for your hospitality! We would love to come back!

Incredible stay with incredible staff. The Waldorf Astoria Helsinki knows how to make you feel welcomed and valued as a customer. Cannot recommend this establishment enough!! So much so that I am considering applying for Amex credit card for Waldorf Astoria points!! Job well done!
