A one of the most amazing hotel experience! It’s made of old prison and result is wonderful! We had a superior room where we had a really nice and big bathroom. Room was decorated stylish and with high quality. The room had also books what was very nice detail. Hotel is great experience and lot to see. You can see a history of the building - there is two originals cells what you can go to see and also a photograph exhibition.
You can book a private sauna time and use a gym. Restaurant had very good food and breakfast was great!
We will go back, for sure!
Very friendly and professional service and everything worked perfectly - thank you.

The hotel has a campaign for breakfast at the rate of 17e per adult. Comparing to the weekend breakfast & brunch price in average, this price is quite competitive. This is the reason why we decided to try it out as locals (not staying at the hotel). The breakfast selection is at the average level and I liked the mushroom taste quite much. The campaign is valid till the end of this month.

Super cool hotel in an old prison. I was shocked by how quiet it was, despite the very open hallways.
I would highly recommend getting the Junior Suite with the private sauna. It's worth the simple luxury of getting to use the sauna on demand, especially in the colder seasons. The hotel also offers complimentary access to their main sauna on the weekend mornings to guests.
The best way I could describe the hotel breakfast is 'hip' 😂 it's standard fare (eggs, bacon, yogurt, pancakes) with cool twists in presentation and a Finnish flair. Adored the DIY loose leaf tea section.

Very nice boutique hotel. Very novel, being that it was an old prison.. Restaurant was very nice, serving local Finnish food. Had an evening meal here and also very good breakfast with lots of choices. Would definitely recommend the hotel and the restaurant. Loved the sauna in our room..

Fascinating and historic reuse of a prison building as a modern first-class hotel. Rooms are not large, but very comfortable. Nice breakfast buffet. Very knowledgeable and helpful staff.

Nice and interesting since it’s an old jail. Situated a bit out on Katajanokka, tram just outside or a 10 min walk to downtown. Sauna is only on weekends. Breakfast was good but in the rather dark basement. Not so much nice lobby-areas. The charged price didn’t meet expectations, should be a 40EUR less per night according to the standard offered.
