Frommer's Review
Despite its somewhat stern resemblance to a bulky and anonymous-looking office building, this hotel is one of the best in Helsinki, conveniently located in the city's commercial core opposite Stockmann's department store. Originally built in 1962 and much renovated since, it offers comfortable rooms outfitted with unusual textures, modern furniture, and good beds. Units within the hotel's original core are roomier (and hence at the higher end of the below-noted price scales) and somewhat better decorated. Some are within a neighboring annex connected by a passageway to the hotel's original core. Each of the rooms has dark wood furnishings, adequate work space, and patterned fabrics.
Facilities:
Restaurant; cafe; bar; fitness center; sauna; room service; laundry service/dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms; rooms for those w/limited mobility

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
