This is a boutique style fairly clean hotel providing light rooms. This venue offers cool location close enough to the Helsinki Central Station, smartly designed library in the world opened in Dec 2018 and shopping center. Main bar with complementary drinks. Moreover it has very good wifi to surf the net etc.
