We went to Helsinki by bus from St. Petersburg for 3 days. It turns out that this is not an easy test for young people to travel all night (and I also wear a fur coat; ) side by side with a hysterical couple from a Leningrad village. But let's not talk about the excursion itself, it's better about the hotel.
Very cozy hotel, comfortable and fully meets 3 ***. I liked the room (at that time it was the first trip to the Euro, but now there is something to compare with) not small, without Russian TV, and with a normal bathroom (a bath would be better, but this is my personal problem). Regarding the bathroom: combined, the shower compartment is 2 times larger than standard showers, the water is not too hot, but the cleanest in the world (you can drink)))) and there is also a basin with handles; soap/shampoo/shower gel is also available. The bedroom (usual "double") has 2 separate beds (specially interested in a double bed: no), a table, 2 armchairs, a very comfortable wardrobe and a cabinet for shoes. Everything is wooden (environmentally friendly), bedspreads and curtains are multi-colored, very positive. Our room overlooked the skating rink, and there was always, from 8 o'clock in the morning (we didn't wake up earlier), someone was skating! VERY BEAUTIFUL, sporty, aesthetically pleasing! I think all the rooms have a beautiful view. There is also a sauna in Olympia, 2 hours for women, 2 hours (already at a different time) - for men. But it was at an inconvenient time, we did not manage to go (the 1st evening was spent in the Serena water park, the 2nd - we walked around the city). The breakfasts are good, varied, tasty and made from quality products. The main contingent is Germans, Finns, very few Russians.
I also want to point out the food. Food in Finland is expensive, even the average bill for a fast foot (of which there is a million) is 20 euros for two. To all ulcers and gastritis sufferers: BEWARE, it is a great temptation to eat pizza, hamburgers, cola, etc. , because a good cafe with normal food is terribly difficult, and if something similar comes across, then with such a bill! In general, we decided to have dinner at the restaurant of our hotel - very tasty, large portions, excellent service, few visitors. Total bill: 80 euros (mineral water, salad, 2 hot dishes, wine)

About the location of the hotel. Not in the center, but there is where to walk. We easily reached the railway station, went shopping (Sokos, Stockmann). The whole road is very interesting, original monuments, transport links. Road users are terribly polite, we even envied...
For 3*** we put a solid 5 (in terms of evaluation)
