Noli Katajanokka

It was beautifully designed room. I’m glad I paid extra to get extra space. And thank you so much for upgrading our room with a view. It was worth paying for an extra night (from the night before) so we could check in early morning on our arrival from the airport.

I felt it was out of way from public transport networks. But as I had a bad leg and had to walk with a walking stick, we caught uber or bolt whenever we went out.

The room furnishing was great with all the things I need for a comfortable stay. It really helps that they had installed a thermostat and aircon whereby I can adjust the heating and air temperature easily. It is also located near two supermarkets and with lobby door & lift access security. There is also a kitchen for you to prepare your meals as dining out can be pretty expensive in Finland. A small washing machine is provided for you to do your laundry inside your room. It helps that there is a freezer and fridge. The kitchenwares and room are very clean too. Laundry detergent was provided.

It was confusing to find the building when you arrived late at night during winter time. There were two buildings with the same name but with number 1 and 2. Signages to the buildings were not clear and the address they stated on booking.com leads me to the building number 2 instead of number 1 where I am supposed to be staying at. Even the taxi driver also had a difficult time in picking me up as his gps/ google map led him to building number 2 instead. As I am not a finnish native speaker, reading finnish address can be confusing and challenging for a foreigner like me. I hope they can improve on their signages, navigations and translations to other foreign languages to make it easier for foreign tourists to stay at. It would be great if they can put a hairdryer in each room instead of borrowing from the lobby locker whereby I have to come out to borrow it with my wet hair. It helps if there is a dryer inside the room as Drying your clothes indoor without a dryer and balcony can take quite some time.

Really peaceful and cozy appartment, sea view was a happy surprise

Everything was great
