    TV in the room didn't work, reception admitted that some don't work. So hope they will fix that. Air conditioning in the room noisy. Switched it off but if it had been hot couldn't have done that.

    Easy to get to by tram, close to everything in Helsinki centre. Great breakfast. Friendly staff. Many lifts so didn't need to wait. Spacious room.

    The hotel is a converted warehouse building. Whilst this works well architecturally,the hotel did feel a little tired in its decoration and facilities e.g basic bathroom and small TV. We also did not like the thin mattresses on the beds that moved a lot in the night. Breakfast was very crowded on our first morning, not as relaxed as the following days.

    This is a large hotel adjacent to the Helsinki conference centre. It is well situated for the centre of the city. It has all of the amenities you would expect from a large chain. The breakfast was plentiful.

    Not the first and hopefully not the last I am staying in Grand Marina. Perfect location, an old building, and nice atmosphere. Breakfast could also be great if it wouldn't be SO crowdy

    Narrow bed, 10-20 cm wider would have been more comfortable. Bottom sheet too narrow for the narrow bed, couldn't be tucked around the mattress well enough to stay put during the night. A second pillow with cover would have been good for the evening reading in bed. Difficult to adjust room temperature; 3-4 degrees too warm for my sleeping comfort but my attempts to turn it down had no effect. The shower itself worked well but water got out under and on the side of the glass door from where it spread to the toilet/basin area due to the floor slope.

    Great location Friendly and efficient staff at front desk Quiet - no noise from corridors or traffic Spacious breakfast area

    Not much. Couldn’t linger past 11am on late breaks.

    Breakfast was fantastic. What a spread! Room was great. Elevator security system was a bit wonky. Staff was efficient and helpful. Liked entrances on both sides of building. Masterful restructuring of warehouse into a lovely hotel space.

    When we dropped our bags off in the morning, we asked if it was possible to check-in an hour early, if the room happened to be clean and available. They told us that we could come back 2 hours prior to check in and that it should be fine. We arrived one hour before check-in to inquire, and they told us we could check-in early, for 20€, that no one had mentioned before. We decided to just wait, but I didn't like that they weren't upfront about the charge in the beginning.

    The staff was friendly and accommodating. It was an excellent location to access Helsinki from the ferry from Tallinn. They allowed us to store our bags in the luggage room before check-in. The breakfast had a large selection of food to choose from. The bed was comfortable and the room was nice.

    There were no room kettles so no morning cuppa!

    A great hotel, convenient for the main harbour ( although not Tallink ferries) with a huge but very busy breakfast at times! Lovely running routes from the door in either direction along the coast. Actually on the city marathon route. Friendly staff.
