The hotel is in the student quarter. It is a short walk to the riverside and the Cathedral. It is a relatively short walk from the railway station. The rooms are small. They have been modernised but the overall feel of the hotel is quite dated. The reception staff are lovely and even helped me with my poor Finnish when I asked. The breakfast is varied. No bacon, eggs and sausage but Karelian rice pasties, pickled fish, ham, cereal, and pretty well anything else. I enjoyed it but I do enjoy Finnish food. Breakfast may well be on a shared table in peak hours. A workaday 3 star hotel. Perfectly good, excellent location and genuinely charming reception staff. The associated gym, Motivus, is a 3 minute walk and is a good gym with Olympic weights, squat racks, a Smith machine, loads of cardio, TRX station and way, way better than the usual hotel multigym. The gym was mixed with young and middle aged women, blokes with no necks to skinny guys, young lads and friendly. It is not a body building gym but powerlifters and bodybuilders would find plenty of metal to lift.
