In Helsinki:
"i paid which I thought was
average for a 4 star hotel. From the outside and on entry, the
hotel looks like a 2 star . The decor is old and the
building is screaming for a lick of paint both inside and outside.
The furniture is outdated. The staff were very helpful in getting
us checked in. The key for the room is about 30 years old and it
was difficult to gain entry.
"The room itself was comfortable and warm. The en-suite was
lovely where there was great pressure in the showers and the tiles
were heated. However, there were no tea/coffee making facilities in
the room and these had to be purchased from the reception and every
occassion. There was a ridiculously overpriced minibar there for
the thirsty and desperate. Fancy
using the gym, swim & sauna? No probs, you couldn't swing a cat
in the gym, you'll get hypothermia in the pool and pay €15 per
person to warm up again in the sauna!!"
