“Eliel Saarinen's design roots give this place a grandeur that still resonates, even as it buzzes with modern Helsinki life via the adjacent train station; inside, you'll find a commitment to a quality breakfast and restful sleep. While not flawless, its heart-of-the-city location and historic charm make it compelling. I think it's a worthy base for exploring the capital.”
