A former prison, Home Hotel Katajanokka in Helsinki is one of our favourite hotels in Europe! We’ve stayed a few times, and have always loved it. It’s clean, the food is great, and it’s just 20 minutes walk from the city centre. Look out for their deals which include evening meals – it’s excellent value!
