Lopen Beach

Area was relatively under developed compared to center town area. Initial access to building is problematic from main road as it is code access dependent. Common spaces were excellent and modern. Gave a modern university dorm vibe. Don't expect 24hr front desk service or welcome crew. The check in was a bit confusing. Good Sauna and Spa. Convenient to public transit and groceries. Good kitchen plus an excellent common kitchen. Is like a communal co-op housing system but modern and up scale.

Great location not far from city center, yet quiet and relaxing with wonderful amenities

Brilliant location near the harbour with a partial sea view. Easy walking distance from the centre, the esplanade, the market and both cathedrals. A tram with frequent trams to visit more distant attractions such Sibelius park was just around the corner. Breakfast was provided in a cafe next door and was really nice. Our room was spacious with fridge, microwave etc. The bathroom was clean and modern and the shower was really good. We tried the sauna and Jacuzzi and they were good. We didn't interact with any staff directly ( check in is done via computer)but they did provide us with contact numbers if needed. We struggled to get the air con to cool the room but that may have been us. We could have contacted the hotel to ask for assistance but we were too busy enjoying Helsinki. I would definitely stay there again.
