I would heartily recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Helsinki. Quirky but very nice, and the breakfast buffet is amazing. I'm afraid it's ruined me for the "continental breakfast" you get at similarly priced hotels in the States!

The hotel is really outstanding and good reachable with the public transport. The staffs are super friendly, everything is clean and you can rest very well.
You aren't that far from the main station. It was my second stay, last year I also already stayed at this hotel and if you wanna do a day trip to Tallinn the hotel is nearby by the port.

Cool and nice hotel with very hard madrasses
A very nice hotel with spectacuar art, we liked that and the breakfast was good.
What wasn't good was the bed, it was so hard I could not sleep until I had put every pillow I could find in the room on top of the madrass. It would be nice to be asked if you like to sleep on a hard madrass or soft/medium when you book.

Amazing hotel with outstanding breakfast
This hotel is so nice and the amenties and comfort is outstanding! It is a few meters from a tram stop and also just a 30 min walk from city centre. The breakfast is fantastic with good vegan options and the beds are comfy and it is in a quiet area. I would love to have a fridge in the room though, because it gets hot even with AC and a fridge is always such a help on longer journeys. But we will definitely be back at hotel AX, thanks for having us!

The rooms are very nice, the bed comfortable and the blankets thick. The only thing I didn't appreciate was the shower. I have stayed in many eco-friendly hotels before, but this one seems to restrict water pressure. This combined with only a small shower head means you can only apply water to abiut a 5 inch circumference of your body at a time, and makes rinsing thick hair almost impossible.

Designhotel modern und sauber
Modernes Hotel, nicht zu weit von der Stadtmitte.
Mein Zimmer war gut ausgestattet, ebenfalls modern und sauber.
Das Frühstück war überdurchschnittlich lecker und vielseitig.
