Hotel berhampiran Suomenlinna, Helsinki

Really great location (walkable and tram) and nice room. Would recommend.

Very clean hotel, really nice lobby and welcome by staff with good location. There are meeting rooms, sauna, gym etc and the breakfast was nice. My room was on the west wing instead of main building which was quite a walk from loft area especially with large luggages. Only coffee/tea/chocolate and hot kettle, as well as bath soap. There are hangers and safety deposit box. No other amenities (toothbrush toothpaste comb etc) provided. Bed is big and comfortable. Aircon does not turn off even when putting the thermostate to zero speed…too cold! Cleaning tool left in bathroom by housekeeping not sure why, was moved from one corner of bathroom to another even after i mentioned to reception…strange!

This is a great addition to the Helsinki Scandic range, converting an old building into a stunning new hotel. It is pretty big (over 300 rooms) but there is enough space for everything to happen. Rooms are lovely and well designed. Rooms sizes and shapes vary because of the building conversion. Some have baths. The superior rooms are all gorgeous and face the church square. Everything in the room worked well and internal noise insulation was excellent. Good air-con and free wi-fi. Blackout curtains were efficient and lighting very well managed. Breakfast is in a vast but multi-roomed area with some seating outside in the atrium. Nothing was missing from the buffet and despite the number of guests it all worked well with plenty of seating. The location of the hotel is also good, very central, 5 minutes’ walk from the Kamppi shopping centre (and metro) and 3 minutes’ walk from tram stops.

門口比較難找 靠導航穿過火車站正對面商場就到，但如果走邊上的路 拖着行李箱的石頭路一直輪子響 不好拖。 酒店是新裝修的 還有一股新酒店的味道 設計很不錯。但是 窗户全部不能開 問了前台 説安全原因。我個人特別不喜歡這一點。 但其他都還好 酒店衞生間也很大。

We had a good stay at Hotel Arthur. The location was pretty convenient for us - it was a 5 minute walk from Helsinki's Central Station for platforms going to/from the airport, tram service was nearby and it was within a 15-20 minute walk of everything we wanted to see in Helsinki. We booked this hotel because it was inexpensive for our stay and it was pretty pleasant.The breakfast was included with our stay and was welcome as well. We booked a twin room with two twin beds. The beds were comfy and we found extra pillows in the closet. We had a really good sleep each night at the hotel because it was very quiet. The room had a couple of chairs including a pretty big cushioned one, a desk and a TV that was mounted high. The room could be a little better with the cleaning of the tv remote and kettle but the beds and bathroom were fine. The hotel is over 100 years old and we felt the hotel showed its age the most in the room because there are some renovations that have been done over the years and it is pretty evident . Our room only had plug-ins at the desk and there was none near the night stand by the beds. The closets were in need of some maintenance because the door tracks were a bit stiff, the floor was peeling and the drywall in the back was loose. The shower used to have sliding doors as evident by the track that wasn't removed but the shower had a curtain that was too short and the floor squeegee was there for a reason because the water went everywhere when I showered. Shower pressure was fine and it was easy to get plenty of hot water. You may want to consider bringing your own bath products because the shower gel was meant for hand soap, body wash and shampoo. The hotel has saunas that you can book upon request. If you book your hotel reservation directly through the hotel you can get a discounted rate of 8 euros per person for the sauna but if you book through another website it is 10 euros per person. There is a nicer sauna that is shown in the pictures of the hotel but it fills up pretty quickly. We got the other sauna and it was ok but was in need of some cleaning because previous guests left their wet towels all over the place instead of in the towel bin located under a bench. We felt it was silly to charge a different rate if you booked through another platform because we wouldn't have heard of this hotel if we didn't use the platform we used! The breakfast was pretty standard and I had a nice English breakfast each day from the buffet. The mushrooms, sausage and hash browns were my favourite but I grew to enjoy the scrambled eggs during my stay because they add something to it that I'm not used to. They also had yoghurt, cereals, cold cut meats, fruit and cheese amongst other standard breakfast staples. They had a juice dispenser, a small selection of tea and black coffee. They also had items that you could pay for at the bar like a cappuccino or chocolate chip muffin. The reception area was pretty good. They had luggage storage and quite a few chairs to sit in. My wife liked their small souvenir shop and got some cute post cards. The staff are very helpful and can provide recommendations for the city. The reception also provide tea and sugar for your room and you can pick up your rations daily. They do not provide regular cleaning for the rooms but you can arrange cleaning or new towels through reception. There are plenty of sights to see nearby as well as cafes, restaurants and shopping malls. The tram is a short walk away and that was very convenient for us as we did a day trip to Tallinn using the ferries to go across the sea. We booked this hotel because it was affordable in a pretty expensive city and we would still recommend it if the pieces are fair. It was a good place to sleep and unwind after each day we spent exploring the area.

Having arrived early on an overnight flight, I went to the hotel at 9am and was told that I would receive a message when the room was ready. Having heard nothing I returned at midday to be told that my room was ready but I had to pay 20 Euros extra to check into it prior to 2pm. When I finally got the key, I got no clear directions on how to find my room and it took me 15 minutes to get there dragging around my heavy bag with no staff assistance. - Not even room cleaning staff that I met while trying to navigate the maze of corridors and various lifts that serviced only specific levels were able to tell me where the room was. Similarly when I checked out, I found a more direct route by dragging my bag over the cobblestone courtyard, only to be locked out on the otherside. The steps at the front of the hotel were also challenging with a suitcase.

The Clarion Hotel Helsinki is a modern and stylish hotel located in Helsinki, Finland. It is known for its contemporary design, comfortable accommodations, and convenient location.

The rooms are typically well-appointed and equipped with modern conveniences such as flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, and comfortable beds.

hotel is situated in a quiet location with plenty of accessible supermarkets. It is not close to any tourist attractions but Kammpi and the city center is close if you take the train. Hotel staff are friendly, helpful and accommodating. Generally, hotel is clean. The only problem I had was that shower in my room drains very slowly and water leaks outside the shower area.

If you are an indian or from other south eastern countries then I would suggest you to say big no to this hotel chain or the holiday Inn particularly in pasila, Finland. A lot of discrimination will be faced from your end from the point of entry till the date you exit. You won't be able to find good food or even you can't ask for better facilities. Most of the receptionist will treat you like you are from third world country. Better would be to avoid and find more friendly people. I wouldn't even suggest this hotel since It will spoil your entire business trip or holiday fun.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Valo Hotel in Helsinki, and it was an exceptional experience! The modern design and warm atmosphere made me feel right at home. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring that all my needs were met. The amenities, including the gym and wellness area, were top-notch, providing a perfect way to unwind after a busy day of exploring the city. The location is also fantastic, making it easy to access local attractions. I highly recommend Valo Hotel Helsinki for anyone looking for a comfortable and stylish stay in the heart of the city! Five stars all the way!
