Home Hotel Katajanokka, Helsinki (Finland) - Deals & Reviews

The unique history of staying in a converted prison was fascinating, with remnants from its past adding character to the modern amenities.

There were limited dining options at the restaurant, making it challenging for guests with specific dietary requirements.

Man, staying in a former prison was such a jol! The breakfast spread was seriously lekker—loads of options to kickstart the day. And the tram stop right outside made getting around so easy. The room was cozy and quiet, perfect for chilling after a long day of exploring.

Only downside? The water pressure in the shower was a bit weak, but nothing to stress about!

Unique stay in a converted prison offers intriguing history.

While the breakfast was decent, the dining area felt too dark and uninviting, detracting from the overall experience. Housekeeping was disappointing as items like toilet paper and coffee were not restocked after our first night, leading to unnecessary hassle. Additionally, the room was quite small and felt cramped for two people, which was unexpected given the price range.

Stayed here, and the breakfast was top-notch! Loved the different menus for dinner each night, especially the soup and salad. Only downside was the room got a bit too hot for my liking. But overall, proper lush place that I'd definitely return to!

the atmosphere is unique, being an old prison that's now beautifully repurposed. the pet-friendly amenities are a lovely touch! our room was spacious, quiet, and stylishly decorated. really enjoyed the variety at breakfast too, so many delicious options!

liked everything! 😊

Enjoyed quirky prison history and good breakfast!

Enthralling history as a former prison and superbly located near the city center, with lovely Fika included. The tram stop outside is perfect for exploration!

Housekeeping inconsistencies overshadowed our stay with rooms not cleaned regularly and a somewhat dull breakfast selection. The dark dining area felt less inviting, and the small bathroom made things tricky.

The hotel offers a unique and immersive experience as it is housed in a converted prison, featuring original cells on display which adds to its charm.

The centralized ventilation system in the rooms was quite noisy and can't be adjusted, making it difficult for light sleepers to get a good night's rest.

Absolutely adored the hotel's history and modern vibes! The room was super comfy, and the mini fridge had actual goodies. The location was spot on with trams just outside.

But let’s just say, figuring out the shower was more challenging than solving a Rubik’s cube! And that annoying door that just wouldn’t stay shut, it was a bit too free-spirited!

Had a solid two-night stay! The room was stylish and spacious, but the noise from the terrace kept me up a bit. The breakfast was pretty mean! Chur!

the ac was a bummer, but the breakfast was AMAZING! ! so many options like porridge and pancakes. the staff were super friendly and the gym was well-equipped too! definitely had a unique vibe as a former prison.

A Perfect Escape in Helsinki

We had a fantastic four-night stay! The private sauna was a delightful surprise and perfect after a day of exploring. Make sure to enjoy the buffet breakfast for a great start. The staff's warmth made us feel truly welcomed. Don't miss nearby eateries for an authentic local experience!

Spotlessly clean and exceptionally attentive service with a charming historical touch.

What a unique stay! The rooms, converted from a prison, were cozy and charming. Perfectly located near the tram and a lovely 15-minute walk to the center made exploration a breeze.

My only grumble? The air conditioning was as absent as a polite ghost in a horror film. And those breakfast options for vegans? Let's just say they need a little creativity!
