Nice stay. Clean Room, great location. Staff were really friendly

Noli Sörnäinen
The property is close to the Metro, Trams and buses. There are groceries and restaurants nearby. It is a 30 minute walk to downtown market place and attractions but the Tram is right outside the door and a quick ride if you prefer. The room was quiet. There ate saunas, jacuzzi’s and a very good fitness ...
