The hotel was very convenient. The room was comfortable. The staff was very helpful. If you arrive by train it is very close. The ferry is a very short Unar ride.

Nice hotel in an excellent location. There's a tram stop immediately outside, the main train station is about a 5 minute walk away and it's only a 10 min walk to the harbour / Allas Spa. The breakfast was great with a mix of full English and traditional Finnish offerings. Would stay here again without hesitation.

We love going to Scandic, if only for the breakfasts! They honestly are very good and varied, and with a flare of national delicacies like the Karjalanpiirakka (I liked mine with jam) We stayed on the top floor meaning we were away from street noise, but to be honest, the location is very quiet anyway, and yet so close to the centre, and railway station- making public transport from the airport a breeze. We would have loved to try out the communal sauna, but sadly our British side prevented us when we saw evidence of others using the sauna- we didn't know what we would walk into considering how liberal the Finns are with their saunas. And with it being gender specific at certain times, we were even more timid not wanting to go on our own! (We recognise this is an us problem not a hotel problem lol) The rooms met basic expectations and we were lucky to have a window room, even though we selected the cheaper non window at the time of booking (win!). Beds were comfy, the rooms were comfortable in temperature, and the shower was excellent. People have commented the hotel is a bit dated, and I would agree, but not in a sense that harms your experience, but for example, the shower room could do with re-grouting in areas, and the headboard was missed for dusting- but these are comments that I passed on to Reception at check-out, so it's up to them what they do with that. For the price- location, breakfast and the lovely staff make this a steal, and we would definitely stay again

A great city centre location with a great breakfast - copious amounts of lovely bacon! The staff were very helpful & gave my wife a heater for the room even though in the end it wasn't needed - floor 7 is the top floor & was very quiet

I arrived at 7am and was charged 20 euros for early check-in as the usual check-in time is 4pm. The front desk is manned 24 hrs and the staff are on-the-ball. The hotel's location is superb; Just a stone's throw to Kauppatori market, senate square, Helsinki Cathedral and Uspsenski Cathedral. It is located right beside the university, right beside an underground passage to casino, train station and food hall. It is also right next to a recycling shop where you can shop for 2nd hand stuff. There is a tram stop right outside the hotel so it helps if you are feeling tired and wanted to walk lesser. The down side is of course you can hear the trams travelling from the hotel room (it's quite muffled though audible). The worst part is the sound proofing because you can hear other rooms' flushing and when people walked past. There is no mini fridge nor mini bar in the room. Breakfast wise, there was a spread but it was not as varied as I expected it to be after reading the reviews. The breakfast was mainly assorted bread & jam, pickled vegetables, assorted cheese, chicken ham, oat porridge, overnight cereal, assorted cereal, rye rice pastry, scrambled eggs, 6 min egg, bacon, rosti (hashbrown), beetroot balls, baked beans, tomato with egg, assorted juice. The floor has some sand which I called for room service to clean the floor but the sand is still there. Room service is fantastic; they would change towels everyday unless you put do not disturb.

10 minutes walk from station. Hotel bit dated but rooms clean and confortable. Excellent buffet breakfast. Reception did not mention drinks available in rear of foyer as no tea coffee in rooms. Not an over friendly welcome. Good value for a central hotel. I would stay here again. Metro next door. Excellent for tram stops. No mention of the City Travel Card which is good value and useful. Valid for number of days you require...included boat trip to local island. They could do better promoting City, though there are brochures available.
