I did like to stay here: the room was clean, very comfy bed, nice hotel and room interior, nothing super extra but okay. The only thing that did not wow me at all was the breakfast and the restaurant side. The hotel-lifts had som noise during the day and night, nothing that bothered me.

As a one night layover hotel for us en route to Helsinki, we thought this hotel was practical and suitable for what we needed. It’s quite old-fashioned but still quite likeable. A spacious lobby area, with adjoining bar called The Sea Wolf and additional facilities such as a sauna, leads on to the two elevators, an in-house club and bar advertising ‘go-go girl’s’ and ‘strippers’ and large dining room.

We didn’t expect the hotel to be quite as big as it was, so that’s one positive if you like a sizeable hotel, this one is deceptively big.

Breakfast was a little disappointing and fried breakfast components like bacon and proper scrambled egg are missing. Cold meats and pastries are available but there is no fresh juice, instead there is a Ribena-like squash next to the tea and coffee.

There was no safe in our room and we had a shower over a bathtub in the bathroom. The single beds are narrow but comfy, and it also a difficult mission to locate sockets in the room without unplugging lamps and the television.

The hotel, overall, is practical and good enough for a one night stay.
