Best rooms
Request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor facing the inner courtyard (south side away from Tarhakuja). These upper floors avoid street-level noise and get better natural light without direct road exposure.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the 1st floor — they sit at street level and pick up traffic noise from Tarhakuja, plus foot traffic from the lobby and breakfast area. Also skip any rooms directly above the main entrance (likely central front) — door slams and late arrivals will disturb sleep.
Wi-Fi
Free Wi-Fi for all guests; speeds around 50 Mbps; no login or password needed, just accepts terms.
Free, reliable Wi-Fi covers the entire building with speeds around 50 Mbps. No complex login portal is required.
Parking
On-site car park with 6 spaces, free but first-come-first-served. Nearest public car park is P-Halli at 5, Vuorikatu, €2/h or €15/day. No EV charging.
Free street parking is available directly outside on Snellmaninkatu, though daytime limits apply. Nearby Toriparkki under the market square costs €24 per 24 hours.
