Recent Reviews in Vanha Munkkiniemi

5/5 Excellent

Classic yet casual hotel

"We loved this grand old hotel in a perfect location adjacent to the train station and near to most of Helsinki's destinations. The beautiful common areas feel like you just walked into a 1930s movie set, but the atmosphere is casual. The staff are excellent and helpful. The breakfast buffet is extensive and includes local specialties. Our room was large and very comfortable, although it didn't have much drawer space for unpacking. The shower/tub works well but is oddly designed without a curtain, so it tends to leave water on the floor, which has a large drain. Of course, there are men's and women's saunas in the basement, and a small gym."
