What a great hotel with an amazing history! It used to be a jail and now is a modern hotel but they kept the character from the past. The breakfast and dinner buffets were great and it was nice not to have to go out and find places to eat every meal. The staff was amazing and I would definitely stay here again.

Loved the building’s history. Unmistakably a former prison but amazingly transformed whilst retaining the original character. One slight negative are the dining facilities. Confusing layout and chaotically crowded at times.

An Unforgettable Stay in a Unique Hotel This hotel is truly exceptional! Housed in a former prison, it has managed to preserve its original spirit while transforming into a cozy and welcoming place. The rooms are arranged in an unusual and creative way, which adds to the charm and makes the stay even more memorable. The breakfast was absolutely delicious, with a wide variety of fresh and flavorful options. Dinner is also available, and it’s just as impressive. Despite the building’s history, the atmosphere is warm and homely — you feel completely at ease from the moment you arrive. Highly recommended for anyone looking for something different and full of character!

Wonderful hotel

Amazing hotel with amazing staff, everyone was so friendly, breakfast and dinner were included with the stay, and they were delicious, there was a sauna and the rooms were spacious and clean. The history and architecture of the hotel was so fun and added to the charm, and it was very conveniently located to city center

The location was on an island and only a 20 minute walk to the city center. Great location, however, the room was very hot and we were not allowed to open the windows. Breakfast, a light snack between 3-5 pm is served, plus dinner is included. That is served between 6-8 every night. The breakfast was the best part.

We love the history, the renovations, the food, the staff, the location…the list goes on! Such a great choice for our first trip to Helsinki. Easily walkable to sites, food and drink…but off the beaten path and offering such a unique place to sleep (an old prison). We would definitely come back!
