A really good hotel away from the busy streets. Easy access to the city centre and close to the sea. The breakfast is not huge since they moved it upstairs, but there's about everything you could need. I was happy with it.

No sauna on site; but there is uusi sauna two blocks away. Rooms were just right. Breakfast was delicious. Parking is off site. 25min walk to city centre, but there is a tram that takes you right there easily. Really enjoyed my stay here, the art is so fun to look at!
