Good location, bad service

The hotel is conveniently located straight in Messukeskus, so you can visit your room during the fair. It is in ok condition. Very limited food choices in the restaurant, only junk food. The service was terrible, the waitress was noticably not pleased that we disturbed her peace.

This is an excellent hotel. Clean, kind, silent, comfortable. Loved it during an intense work weekend! The only thing I would improve are the pillows in the bed, they were only decent.

The worst of the worst.

The room is as hot as a sauna. Why can't you turn on the air conditioning in advance? All the curtains are open and the sun is shining in. The parking garage is ridiculous. The parking space is mainly intended for pedal cars. The staff and hotel management have reserved the best spots for themselves. Never again to this particular hotel. The worst of the worst.
