Très belle hôtel, pres de l’aéroport!

Quick and easy check in for a very late (1am) arrival. Simple but comfortable and well equipped apartment. Sadly I wasn't there long enough to try out all the amenities but I saw longer term guests and residents using the work and leisure spaces.

Noli Sornainen was our solid home base in Helsinki for 5 nights. Self check-in was a bit clunky, and would have been more efficient in advance. We prefer to have a human present. When we did interact with staff on-site, they were patient and helpful. The neighborhood was convenient to public transportation, which we used extensively. There is a small market and limited dining on the street. The building is also designed for longer-term stays and includes a full kitchen, pool table, work rooms, and a gaming/video room. The jacuzzi tubs hidden between the saunas were warm tubs. We had two rooms on different floors. The rooms were spacious, clean and provided ample storage. In-room clothes washer was helpful. The kitchenette was thoughtfully designed. The beds were the firmest we had on a 16 day trip. Several maintenance issues arose, including a broken bed foundation and a reading chair that was unsafe. Staff were responsive to each request. We added daily breakfast which was provided by Picnic down the street. Vouchers let us pick from their menu, which was convenient and good quality. We ate most of the menu after a few days.
