What a wonderful three nights we had at this fabulous hotel in the beautiful city of Helsinki. The conversion of this former gaol into a hotel has been creative and innovative.The location is convenient to the tram, waterfront and local restaurants. Our room was large, incredibly quiet and super comfortable. The inclusion in the tariff of breakfast, afternoon tea and the evening meal made it excellent value for money and added to the “ homely” environment they have successfully created. The staff were friendly and very helpful. I cannot recommend this hotel more highly and wouldn’t hesitate to return.

We stayed for five nights at the prison hotel. We loved how unique the hotel is. We loved breakfast, afternoon coffee and cake and thought the free dinner was great value and delicious.

Excellent hotel, very friendly and helpful staff. I would highly recommend this hotel if you are staying in Helsinki. Great value.

Excellent value for money, meals included is a great plus, food of very good quality. Comfortable stylish and convenient, tram stop directly outside hotel. Highly recommended.

Great place and the complimentary dinner is the best part of the stay

Amazing

Amazing

The food was absolutely wonderful. We loved breakfast and also enjoyed dinner. The staff were helpful and accommodating. We worked out in the gym and it was a good experience. This hotel is really outstanding and we will never forget the Katajanokka. My husband absolutely loved the history of this hotel.

Food was good

Good

Really comfortable and interesting stay. All food offerings were great. Very handy location for walking to the centre.

Nice historic facility. Nice room and great staff

Location and history of property was good. Shower was unsafe as too difficult to get into and temperature made the room unbearably hot and stuffy as no air conditioning. Providing a tiny fan just did not cut it.

The hotel would be amazing if it was so hot in Helsinki this week. I reserved a superior double with a king bed. It was a large, beautifully decorated room that was hot and humid. Ugh! I never checked if it had air-conditioning. I know that they don't need it most of the year, but even with the fan I got from the front desk, it was terribly hot. The windows don't open. It was hard to sleep if you are sweaty. Other than that, everything else waa great. Breakfast was excellent and dinner was a great savings for the long vacation we were on. There is a tram right outside to take you wherever you wanted to go. I would stay her again at a cooler time of year.

They have a problem with little or no air conditioning in the rooms and you cannot open the windows. Also, the refrigerator was non-functioning. Also, parking requires a permit from the city and the hotel does not tell you that. Found that out the hard way with a ticket on the windshield.

Great conversion from a prison. Good sized room, shower. Excellent breakfast and good evening meal. Location is very convenient for ferry and several trams run from outside.

Great place to stay, loved the hotel and amazing staff. BUT, if it's warm weather your room will be hot. No AC

Property is amazing. Unique and historical history. Beautiful room and so quiet! Full breakfast buffet, afternoon snack and hot dinner were included with my booking. We only ate breakfast, but it was excellent. Staff is great too. Friendly and helpful. I'd love to stay here again in the future.

Our stay was wonderful. The room and beds were comfortable and well appointed. Nice amenities in the bathroom. The food for breakfast and dinner was excellent. What a lovely perk. Aside from the water in the shower only reaching luke warm it was perfect.
