Hotel Klaus K (Helsinki, Finland)

Guests are liberal with their praise of the staff at Klaus K. They are described as friendly, welcoming and in no way pretentious, as is occasionally the case at design hotels.

Many guests comment that they loved being in the very centre of the city, saying that it was convenient to be able to walk to many of the attractions, and easily find public transport to more distant sights.

It seems some guests discovered a new favourite “national” breakfast, and it was the Finish breakfast. Or rather, the breakfast at Klaus K really impressed many guests. They described it as an extremely varied buffet, very tasty, and definitely more than enough to give them a good start to the day.

There are rooms of various sizes available, but guests who stayed in the smaller rooms commented that they really were a bit too small. It seems they could have accepted the small size at a budget hotel, but not at a luxury design hotel.

It seems that some rooms are exceptionally dark. While it isn't a general problem, and plenty of rooms do let in the natural light, several guests mentioned that their particular room was too dark for their liking. Certainly, when as far north as Helsinki guests want to let in all the natural light they can get.

Interestingly, this complaint came up a couple of times. A couple of guests travelling in the cooler months described their rooms as “cold”. It seems there is no way to adjust the temperature in the room, so it is possible that heating is distributed unevenly to the rooms.
