Grand Hôtel Chicago

Good value for money. The neighbourhood is not very appealing but there is a metro station is nearby so it's easy to reach more pleasant parts of the city. Note that there is air conditioning in the guest rooms even though it's not listed.

Small rooms.

Very nice quite small hotel. Very friendly staff. Quite good location, only few kilometres from down town. Subway stop close and it is very easy to use.

Hotellihuone oli siisti ja tyylikäs, palvelu oli hyvää. Kenties vähän syrjäinen sijainti (junaradan vieressä, kaukana "päänähtävyyksistä"), mutta alue oli muuten viihtyisä. Metroasema on n. neljän minuutin kävelymatkan päässä ja sieltä pääsee kätevästi muihin kaupunginosiin.

The room and bathroom were nice, fresh and clean. The buffet breakfast was good, not too fancy, but there was a good variety of bread, cerials, scrambled egg, fresh fruits, juices... to choose from. People working in the hotel were friedly and spoke English.

During the first two night of our stay the air-conditioning was not working (they told us about it at the front desk when we came). So it was little too hot to sleep there. We got two fans to have in the room, that helped a little. We needed to open the window to get cooler air in but then the sounds from trains passing by and traffic were a bit annoying. The room was really nice when the air-conditioning worked again and the window, while closed, kept the sounds of traffic away.
