Omenahotelli

I would recommend this hotel, but for the tired, weary, lost soul — and those on a budget. I booked this place last minute so, my options were limited. There are several Omena in Helsinki, but I think this one is the bottom of the three or so. Although, it does have a microwave, and small fridge and table space for writing as well as a TV/​Free Wi-​Fi, and large bed, the place appeared unclean. The floors appeared dusty, the bathroom had mold or dust in the vent (right over your head) in the shower. There is no shampoo or soap, so bring your own. The windows can be opened — thank God — it was very warm in the room.
I would only recommend this spot for those who can rough it — it is above a Hostel, but below —- say Motel Six (if you can get my drift) and for my home boys — the Riviera on Atlantic Avenue (2969 Atlantic Avenue) East New York –Brooklyn, may have better rooms! LOL

I booked this Omena after it was recommended by a conference I was attending. First, if you’re going to stay at an Omenahotel, don’t stay this one. Stay at the one around the corner — Lönnrotinkatu, where I stayed one night before moving to this one.
First, when I arrived, my room was extremely hot. It turns out this building must be controlled building wide temperature wise. Unlike the Lönnrotinkatu location, where each room has it’s own temperature control. It was also dirty, dust bunnies everywhere. I called using the phone in the entry way, which directly connects to customer service, and they moved me to the room above my original room. It was a bit cooler, but still warm. There is no artwork (unlike at Lönnrotinkatu) in the room, the tv is very small and in the «dining» area (unlike Lönnrotinkatu where it’s large and you can watch TV in bed), and the bathroom had mold in it and left overs (aka hair) from the previous visitors.
I really wasn’t impressed. I understand that this hotel is for affordable travel and one step up from a hostel, but, this location was just unclean, disappointing and lacking in cleanliness and care.
