This hotel was the best one in this weeklong trip in Norway and Finland. Its location, just in front of the central station, is very convenient. A wide family room with shower and bathtub. Also wonderful breakfast on 10th floor. If we had sufficient time, we could have enjoyed a sauna facility also. Very good value for money.
