Sustainability: Green Key eco-label and support for women's initiatives

“I appreciate design-focused hotels, and this one stands out with its integration of Finnish artistry, though some rooms could benefit from usability enhancements. The commitment to sustainability through its eco-label is a definite plus, and knowing it supports women's shelters adds a layer of social responsibility that I value. Overall, I think this hotel offers a stay with conscience and style in central Helsinki.”
