This hotel was a gem!!! We stayed for 4 nights and I was sad to leave. It was a lovely place in a great location. And the breakfast!!! I was so delicious. I’m not usually a big breakfast person and I was always looking forward to it. The local Finnish porridge with berries was my favorite. Delicious coffee and everything was so fresh! Our room: it was so great! We had a suite that had our own sauna and it was amazing. It was attached to the bathroom so we used it every day. Such a fun addition to this room. I loved it and I hope to go back someday.

The rooms are beautifully designed and comfortable. It is a little bit away from the train station but I enjoyed the quiet neighborhood. The bathroom is pretty small. If you mind tiny bathrooms, book a larger room. Some amenities were lacking such as a wash cloth and conditioner. Considering the price and design, I will stay again. As a bonus, there is an excellent Japanese restaurant which is kind of hidden from outside.

Good location, staff communication and hospitality were good (multilingual). Breakfast food variety and taste was good. However, heating not working, paint had a sharp edge just above pillow area and cause hand’s skin cut. Also the room styling was a bit childish.

Helka was Heaven

I needed a good enough hotel in central Helsinki and Helka was Heaven. Good information upon arrival, for example that there is a sauna on the sixth floor. Clean and updated rooms (just a little too warm quilt, woke up sweaty after an hour), nice service at the bar and a good breakfast buffet. Took an evening walk in Helsinki in the chilly April wind and after that it was nice to have the heat from the sauna, an unusual electric one.
