    Not really an issue, but the reception is only open from 10:00 so if you leave early it might be hard to leave luggage. They are very friendly tough and help you out when you call.

    Nice modern and spacious studios right at the Aalto university campus. By tram and metro it is also quite easy to reach the city center of Helsinki. Has a sauna,, gym and areas to get some work done.

    The check in procedure was unnecessarily complicated for exhausted international travellers from the other side of the world. The reception staff could have been more proactive helping, but they were pleasant and courteous. There was little else to complain about, other than the cafe owner was a little on the mean side when rewarding the breakfast vouchers.

    We were attending a conference at Aalto University, which is close by, only a 1.2 km walk, and there is also a tram service, which we did not use, preferring to walk. The walks in the forest and beside the marshes are beautiful and a fine example of Finnish government planning to keep green areas with natural beauty integrated into residential, educational and cultural facilities. There was also a well stocked supermarket just across the car park.

    Excellent! I'd come back to Noli Otaniemi if/when I visit Helsinki again.

    **Hotel Check-In: I would not put this in this section (What didn't you like?) if I had a self-registration code before I arrived at the hotel. Self check-in requires a 6-digit code from the hotel via email. Due to my booking was through Booking.com, I didn't receive the code. There was no person in the hotel office when I arrived and it turned out that the person was working elsewhere in the hotel to take care of something. Thus, I called Booking.com and it provided the 6-digit code after contacting the hotel, almost 15 to 20 min on the phone. I was told that hotel didn't sent the code to me. Self-check took about 10 min and you issue your own rook key as well during the registration.

    ** Hotel Amenities: Nice sauna, workout gym, recreation/living area, common kitchen, laundry center (has many washing machine and dryers and irons/ironing boards, other hotel sponsored activities. All these amenities are provided with no charge/cost. ** Hotel Breakfast: Pre-purchase at hotel 15 Euros, pay without pre-purchase 17 Euros. But if you don't mind, you can get all you need for breakfast from K Market as you have a furnished small full kitchen in the unit. See below for additional information. ** Location: Conveniently located to Aalto University (~12 to 15 min walk) and Aalto University Metro Station (~10 to 13 min walk to Exit B). Helsinki Central Station or Market Square (and other Helsinki metro stations can be reached in about 15 min or so from Aalto University Station. Right next to the hotel, there is K Market (less than 30 seconds walk from the hotel). There is a great walking/running/bike trail along the sea within less than 2 min walk from the hotel. ** Room: Very clean and each unit comes with small kitchen (furnished, including dish washer, microwave, refrigerator/freezer, induction cook top, dish soap and clothes. Thus, it is a studio unit. No TV in the unit, but you can rent if you want one. Unit has two good size closets for your clothes and other belongs. The room was cleaned every other day. ** Overall rating: I'd highly recommend if you are visiting Helsinki area and Aalto University. Especially if you plan to stay short-term (e.g., a week/weeks) or longer-term (months), I'd highly recommend this hotel. Also great value for your money.

    Laminate floor and bad soundproofing (got woken up every day at 1 am from neighbors living above me as it sounded like they were walking in high-heels and also could hear their conversation). From other rooms you can also hear pretty much (over-normal) noises

    Hard mattress bed Great kitchen facilities Views Variety of other options, like sauna, living room, shared kitchen that this building offers

    The bed was unconfortable for us and the ventilation of the room really bothered us. The explanation of how to open the doors was also a bit too short. One thing missing was an individual hairdrier

    The sauna was great and it was really good, that there was the opportunity to wash laundry. It was really clean and all appliances were new. The view was really great too.

    It would be more convenient if the paper-based appointment for laundry could be replaced by an electronic system. Moreover, I think cleaning every two days is not necessary. Sometimes, the staff comes too early in the morning for cleaning. I suggest offering a 'Do not disturb' badge, similar to the 'pet inside' one.

    I spent a whole month at Noli Otaniemi. It really exceeded my expectations. First of all, the building and the facilities are very new. Especially, I like the laundry with high-end machines. Staffs are very friendly and helpful. My room was on the top floor facing the sea. The view was quite good and I witnessed the whole process of the arrival of the spring season. It was quite enjoyable. In terms of the location, it takes less than 10 mins by walking to reach the metro station and the tram station is just in front of the building. It is quite near (8 mins by walking) to Aalto University where I worked. I saved a lot of time and money on commutes. Besides, there is a very nice hiking trail with some observation platforms for observing birds near the place.

    Cleaning services: cleaning guys should be considerate about other people. Knocking repeatedly early morning before 9:30 am while the person is sleeping was not very welcoming. Plus sometimes they forgot to replace/provide the toiletries too.

    I had a comfortable stay. Everything was good for us.

    The bathroom could be a bit wider so that the WC and shower could be used without interference. The sink could be a little bigger so that when you lean over it, your head does not hit the shelf above it. There could be shelves for small items near the bed, and a couple more sockets near the bed would not be bad.

    Convenient location next to the tram stop, a couple of food stores in the vicinity. Fully automated check-in, spacious and well-equipped room, built-in kitchen including fridge, freezer and dishwasher, quality sanitary facilities including shower, possibility to use sauna.

    I didn't like that everything is so digitally supported, I would have liked having a person for the check-in and that person would have explain me where I can find the facilities and how the lift works (with the card), so it's nor super intuitive...

    I liked the environment and the sauna.

    Would be nice to have some extra pillows and a tv. However the tv downstairs is excellent. One needs to rest when staying. Therefore i conclude that its not necesarry. Playstation remotes werent working. Didnt get the chance to let you know.

    Easy to use check-in. Helpful staff. Great location. Easy access to Sello via tram nr 15 and metro Aalto-university.

    The place is fully digitalised, one staff on site and even that until 19h only. Something goes wrong after that time - like the ventilation system in our case - you are out of luck.

    Comprehensively equipped room on the 15th floor with spectacular views. Easy to find, parking and a grocery store very close.
