Clarion Hotel Helsinki
The breakfast selection was both interesting and tasty. Anne greeted us every morning with a smile and a cheerful spirit as well explaining the unfamiliar Finnish buffet items. Our room, while somewhat compact, was very comfortable.

The one little blip was that they forgot to recognise my VIP status which entitles me to two complimentary drinks....
