Bob W Koti Katajanokka

The breakfast was delicious and plentiful and a wonderful way to start the day. Delicious Columbian coffee and food: empanadas, arepas, salad with avocado, yoghurt with granola, and a baked omelet. The staff at the restaurant was helpful and friendly and the atmosphere was pleasant. The neighborhood was charming, full of wonderful apartment buildings from the 1910's in Art Nouveau style, and it was so close to downtown, by foot or tram ride. Also there was a 24 hour grocery in the building, so you could always get something to eat.

Location and concept was perfection. I stayed in Helsinki Glory and it was beyond beautiful! Online customer service was new yet on point (they do have a staff at certain time in the hotel), they would answer your question even in the late evening, and send you a text every night during your stay to make sure you’re having a great one. The room came with sauna and for my family who were visiting Helsinki, it was so convenient that we could enjoy it anytime we wanted without hustling to book or go to spa. Loved it loved it loved it!

Excellent location in a very nicely maintained building with easy access to a large market (right in the building), the tram (right outside the front door) and the ferry from Tallinn (just a couple blocks away). The kitchenette in our 4-person family room was a big plus. The room was nicely decorated and overall the property had a fun, cool vibe. Bob W customer service was very responsive on WhatsApp for any questions and, overall, I appreciate how proactively communicative they were to make our stay a pleasant one. On the website (which they make easy to bookmark on your iphone), it was simple and fast to change our reservation for an early check-in and late check-out. I appreciate the modern use of technology to make stays effortless.

The BEST hotel we've stayed at in Europe! The hotel is located right by the tram stop (literally, you will see the hotel as soon as you step out of the tram), and there is a 24/7 supermarket downstairs. The hotel includes a fridge, kitchen, TV with Netflix, and a nice wardrobe. They even gave us free Polaroid film and provided a Polaroid camera in the room! That made our trip to Helsinki extra special. We fully utilized the washing machine, and they even provided detergent. The toilet was also great! Though there is no on-site reception, they responded quickly and efficiently via WhatsApp to answer all our questions. Tho the location is not right in the town, but it is well connected by the tram which operates from early morning to late night and we din mind the location at all! LOVE IT !

The location of Bob W Koti Katajanokka in Helsinki provides the ideal base to explore the city on foot and make use of the excellent public transport to go further. Easy to reach from the airport or by boat, Bob W Koti Katajanokka delivers on the expectations of ease and comfort. Having an apartment that feels like a hybrid between a private property and hotel opens your options. We made use of the kitchen and comfotable room but knew we were ideally recharged to explore Helsinki at our own pace with all ammentities near by when we returned to Bow W. Communication was proactive and very friendly. Will explore other Bob W locations as future considerations after this first experience.
