Hotel Katajanokka is located in the former Helsinki City Prison. The prison was still in operation until 2002 and was used afterwards. A large part of the prison structure was preserved. The rooms are really beautifully designed and comfortable. I haven't felt so comfortable in a hotel room for a long time. The staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet even exceeded my expectations, really great and rich. Price performance was okay too. But I found it a shame that the bars in front of the windows were removed and that the cell corridor was carpeted. That dampened the prison feeling a bit.
