Noli Sörnäinen
I would say, i never thought it could be that nice. Maybe more pictures would be better. Excellent view at the top floor, very warm and lots of light in the room.

Comfort Hotel Helsinki Airport
Staff were helpful. Didn't try the bar. Room was clean and tidy but small. One pillow on each bed which was small, soft and thin making an uncomfortable night - maybe we could have got more from Reception but we were on the 7th floor. No tea/coffee facilities in the room but free drinks at the bar ...
