Noli Katajanokka
Fantastic stay. Would definitely stay again. Very spacious rooms, comfortable in every way. Great facilities at the property. The only downfall was the mould in the shower due to the shower design and the poor falls of the floor meaning water sits for extended periods on the shower floor.
