This is one of my favourite hotels of the Scandic chain. Loved loved this hotel!
Location if good, central but in the outskirts of the CBD, so you have both a good location minus the crowds.
The common areas, lounges, eating areas, corridors and rooms are luxurious without being flashy; they are elegant, but modern, trendy and with plenty of very posh design elements.
Our room was like one of those you see in the movies. Wonderfully elegant, spacious, great design armchairs, comfortable beds, marbled bathroom with heated floor and bathtub, good set of toiletries, wonderful palette of colours, everything you need. Very comfortable and very pleasing to the eye.
The hotel has great facilities, pool and what's not, but I didn't use any of those.
The staff were very friendly and helpful.
Breakfast buffet was wonderful, lots of variety and was very good. I found the Asian specialities a bit limited, which is not a problem for me, but if you eat mostly Asian food it might be.
The hotel is great for both travellers and business people. It was very busy when we visited, however, it never felt crowded.
We had free Internet, and worked well and fast.
A bit pricey, but well-spent money. I truly enjoyed my stay.
TIPS
> The Finnair Airport Bus stops 150 metres from the hotel. You ask the driver and he will call you when you are there. Unless you want to waste your money in taxis or transfers, or you are carrying a huge amount of luggage, this is the cheapest way to get there, 6 euro the ticket, bus with Wi-Fi and you walk for four minutes.
> There are a few fast food outlets around the hotel if you just want a quick cheap bite..
