an acceptable stay overall

friendly staff little giftbag shower water extra beds

the staff was super friendly and helpful. i appreciated the accommodation for dogs and my dog even got a little gift bag with treats and toys.

The bathroom was not ideal. Shower water flowed everywhere, far from the outlet. also, the extra beds were below all standards. I really hope no one else is forced to sleep on those so-called beds.

central gem, a fantastic experience

central location finnish offering air conditioning

the location is central. the train station is a quick walk, about five minutes. breakfast was standard, with a mix of english and finnish options. i was also able to adjust the central air conditioning temperature in my room.

the shower nozzle had a minor issue. it would not stay in the rack, requiring some adjustment.
