Mycket trevligt bemötande och ett bra läge

Bra hotell med valuta för pengarna

Verifierad gästrecension

Intressant att bo i ett fd fängelse med många detaljer bevarade. Besviken att badrummet inte innehöll tex schampo och badmössa, samt att det var näst intill stopp i badkarets avlopp. Tyvärr rätt obekväma sängar med platta täcken och kuddar. Ok, men inte mer.

Hotellet var en positiv upplevelse MEN varför har ni ingen information på svenska? Finland är officiellt finsk/svenskspråkigt! I receptionen fanns svensktalande endast vid 1 tillfälle. Toaletten borde ha dörr som kan stängas helt.

Hur tänkte jag? Sova på ett fängelse? Det var riktiga celler och jag sov väldigt dåligt. Skoputsen var en vanlig maskin, restaurangen serverade dålig mat och var överprissatt. Personalen snorkig.

Jättefint hotell, trevlig personal och kul att bo i ett gammalt fängelse. Rummen var fina och generöst tilltagna; som småbarnsfamilj med två barn kände vi ändå att vi hade gott om plats. Både barnvagn och pulka kunde ställas utan att de störde och båda barnen kunde sova i bäddsoffa. Bra beläget vid spårvagnshållplatsen (nr 4) men man kan också gå till […] centrum på 15 min. Enda minuset var städningen: efter 3 nätter såg vi bara att sängarna bäddades, men märkte inte av någon dammsugning, inget nytt toalettpapper eller byte av engångsartiklar. Fick själv gå och byta en smutsig handduk i receptionen. Synd på en så fin vistelse i övrigt; kan ändå rekommendera hotellet om man får det till ett bra pris. Läs mer

Very comfortable, close to city center, short trip on the tram or a 10-15 min walk. Calm environment. Good breakfast. Former jail which gave it a special athmosphere.

Hotellet ligger relativt centralt och personalen var vänligt. Endast de varma rätter på frukostbuffet var kalla. I övrigt kan man bara rekommendera hotellet.

Hotellet är klart prisvärt och fräscht. Det enda jag kan klaga på är att frukosten underhålls dåligt på morgnarna. vill du ha bra och fräsch frukost ska du vara ute tidigt. lite snålt med bastutiderna endast på helgerna också, annars kanonhotell!

Verifierad gästrecension

Mycket nära båtterminalen Gångavstånd till centrum Fräscha och fina rum Trevlig personal Mycket god frukost

Verifierad gästrecension

spartansk frukost (sakas tex färskpressad jouce, skinka, ost och bacon).

Verifierad gästrecension

Ett fängelse, ombyggt till högklassigt hotell, var vår bostad under tre dygn. Vi upplevde vistelsen mycket positivt. Rummet var rymligt och bra, sängen skön och badrummet fräscht. Dessutom var det ganska tyst. Frukostbuffén var mycket riklig och välsmakande. Det var också praktiskt att ha spårvagnshållplatsen alldeles utanför hotellet. Personalen var […] trevlig och hjälpsam men talade inte svenska utan engelska. Finland är trots allt ett land med två officiella språk, finska och svenska. Läs mer

This was one of the most interesting quality hotels I have stayed in. It is worth it just for the experience. A tastefully converted prison which has retained enough of the atmosphere whilst providing a very comfortable stay. Good location for the waterfront and town centre. Helsinki has a terrific tram system that passes the front door. Highly recommend […] the experience. Läs mer

I visit Helsinkis very regulalry for up to 15 days at a time so am familiar with most of the business hotels. I'd definitely recommend this one for the price, its much better value for money than the more famous ones and also more enjoyable. The rooms are quirky (cells) and the whole atmosphere is pretty joival but excellent service. The internet isn't […] brilliant but still managed to do my work well enough. Brekafast very good but dinner was OK (but this is Helsinki!). Maybe they could put a coat hook in the room doors! Läs mer

My husband and I stayed here two different nights, on our way en route to and from Rome and enjoyed the stay a great deal. On our first stay, we had to depart the hotel at 5:30 am to make our flight to Rome and the hotel was kind enough to pack breakfasts for us to take and eat on our journey as regular breakfast service did not begin until 6 am. Both […] evenings, we ate at the Jailbird restaurant and had expensive but tasty meals. If we are ever in Helsinki again, we would likely stay here again. Our only complaint was that the wi-fi didn't work in our room; had to be in public areas. Läs mer

Very pleasant experience. About a 20 minute walk to the heart of downtown worth a repeat

Who would have thought an old prison could make such a comfortable hotel? The room I had was large and well fitted out, the staff were very helpful and all spoke good English. And the side benefit of the thick prison walls is a very very quiet room. Just a little out of the centre of town, but not inconveniently so, it is in a very attractive area with […] a good tram connection to the centre. The breakfast in the downstairs restaurant was good, but the evening meal there was a bit disappointing. Läs mer

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The hotel had a lot of character yet the room was modern. The bathroom was larger than we expected and the shower was absolutely fantastic. I would recommend this hotel to anyone needing a place to stay in Helsinki.

The room was clean, service was good. The beds were comfortable, shower also works well.

Good location , good public transport to town centre. A bit of a different hotel!! (was a prison!) some original features included. Interesting atmosphere in the downstairs restaurant/bar

Verifierad gästrecension från Expedia

This was very interesting hotel. The hotel used to be a prison at one time. I lived 1 block away from the "prison" when I went to school in Helsinki in sixties. The remodeling of the prison into a premere hotel was done extremely well. They had left some aspects of the building's history untouched including one of the prison sells. Hotel was very high-tech […] and confortable. The hotel staff was wonderful and helpful. They had a great restaurant that served breakfasts, lunches and dinners. The location of the hotel was in easy reach to most of the site one wants to see. The tram connection was right on front of the hotel. Helsinki has a great transportation network. I would not hesitate to recommend The Best Wester Premier Hotel Katajanokka located in Helsinki, Finland to any traveler going to Helsinki. Läs mer

This is a very good hotel. A bit out of the centre of the city, but very easty to walk in or take a tram. The rooms were excellent, very quiet and very comfortable. Very comfortable beds. The breakfast service was ok. The bread was good and the fresh fruit. We would have liked some muesli - there was only rice krispies on offer. But overall the quality […] was fine. The problem is getting at the food. It's a big hotel and the layout of the buffet and seating makes it tight at times to get to things. There is often a rush at certain times and coffee ran out, for example. Some people get testy. Not so relaxing for everyone. Läs mer

This is more than just a "theme" hotel. Yes there are prison themes around the hotel but they add to the character of the hotel rather than smoother it. Though a little further out than the central hotels tram 4 stops directly outside the hotel. Breakfast is a good continental style with a cooked breakfast option if hams, chees, salmon or herrings […] don't appeal with morning coffee or tea. Fruit and yoghurt also available. The room was well designed and comfortable with a decent shower and toilet. Well worth considering. Läs mer

Very comfortable room but not all curtains would draw properly and the telephone did not work. But I didn't need the phone and the window was very high up so not really a problem. I would definitely stay here again. Tram stop for line 4 (tourist line) is right outside the hotel so very convenienet for city centre and train station and coach link the […] airport. Läs mer

All in all, we were happy with our stay. The location is great, central but quiet. It's an easy 10 minute walk to the market square or you can take tram number 4 from right outside the hotel. Art Nouveau enthusiasts couldn't pick a better place to stay as the whole of the Katajanokka island is a treasure house of Art Nouveau architecture. We found the […] hotel clean and comfortable with excellent bathrooms and a good breakfast. Our room was on the ground floor which has a wide central area that people use for sitting or internet access. A couple of times we were disturbed by people talking loudly on their 'phones outside our room until we asked them to be quiet. If you are likely to want afternoon naps, it might be worth asking for a room on a higher floor. Läs mer

This excellent hotel was the foundation of a wonderful vist to Helsinki. We booked a premier room and it provided ample space for two adults and a child. The beds were comfortable, a large bathroom, free Wi-Fi and the films were included in the package (great for children). There was plenty of choice for breakfast and we enjoyed a meal on the terrace […] in the evening. For families, there was a children's playroom and there was a large grass area adjacent to the terrace for children to run around. The hotel is located within a short 5 minute walk to the Market Square and a stroll along the 'Esplanaden' takes you to the city centre. An alternative was the tram (no. 4) to the centre past the Cathedral. Purchased a 7 day travel pass. Great week in Helsinki. The fact that it was located in a converted goal added to the experience.

This hotel was very interesting, being based in an old jail. My kids loved it, especially the well stocked playroom in the basement (next to an original preserved jail cell!). Everything is "jail house" themed and the history is available on a brochure in the hotel. The location was brilliant - on a quiet street on the island, just 5 minutes walk from […] the pier area and market and 10 minutes walk to downtown. The hotel has a lovely outdoor area / beer garden which our kids enjoyed playing around in. The only thing that spoiled our stay was that we spent more money to upgrade the room to a larger one with a king bed and sofa bed for the kids, but the refridgerator didn't work and also the telephone didn't work, so we couldn't call down to tell them we had a problem. The staff were very apologetic, but the problem couldn't be fixed, which made it difficult to keep milk and snacks for the kids fresh as well as no cold drinks for us. They did give us a 12 euro voucher for the restaurant to make up for it! The staff were very helpful and nice and lots of Helsinki information was available. The restaurant was excellent, included breakfast was very well stocked. Läs mer

This is a fabulous hotel. The hotel is an converted historic prison from the mid 1800's. The rooms have been expanded (two cells equals one room) and are tastefully decorated and appointed. You can still see the structure of the prison with the small windows, the iron stairways and balconies. The Jailbird restaurant in the basement provides a wonderful […] full European breakfast. The hotel is a bit out of the way from downtown but the tram stops right outside the door. If I ever get to go back to Helsinki I will stay here. Läs mer

This hotel has a great deal of history dating back to its construction in 1852 as a prison. The prison model was based on the Philadelphia, PA prison system. It is very conveniently located with a tram stop located at the front door. The downstairs "Jailbird" restaurant is a popular eating establishment.

Fantastic place, converted from a jail! Great value and only a short walk from city centre

Verifierad gästrecension från Expedia

The hotel staff were friendly and very helpful. The hotel itself was was clean, comfortable and quirky.There was plenty to eat for breakfast and good variety of food - cereal, fruit, hot food, fish, salad, eggs and hot food. The hotel is located on a small island and there are nice walks around the waters edge. The area arround hotel is safe to walk […] in even late at night. The number 4 tram stops right outside with a regular service into city centre though it would only take you about 20 mins to walk. Very relaxing feel to capital and would definately stay here again.
