Frommer's Review
Owned by the Finnish version of the YWCA, this 1928 hotel is a budget oasis in a sea of expensively priced hotels. In the heart of the city, close to the train station, and rising six floors, it's a serviceable, affordable choice, without being any great style setter. Guest rooms are generally spacious and sparsely furnished, and come with a private bathroom with shower attached. Double windows cut down on the noise. The on-site restaurant is recommended for its good Finnish and international dishes and its reasonable prices.
Facilities:
Restaurant; bar; sauna; limited room service; laundry service; rooms for those w/limited mobility; nonsmoking rooms

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.
