Hotel 2-Star di Uusimaa, Finland

I was only informed that the morning sauna was free, so I paid to use the sauna at night. However, I’m now wondering if guests staying at the hotel were actually allowed to use the sauna at night for free as well, since I heard that other guests using the sauna didn’t pay. it’s amazing that you can stay at a hotel with a sauna included for this price.

Door codes work like they should. When we go inside there starts welcomig music and screen says welcome. Entrance, kitchen, livingroom, bathrooms are spacious and clean. Our room also was clean and there was enough room for three people, 2 adults and 1 children. Hotel is located in peaceful area, so we get good sleep even the window was open.

I was worried about whether I could get into the room, but I was able to contact them using WhatsApp, which I installed in Japan. The room had a refrigerator, a water heater, cups, forks, etc. It was a convenient location.

女性用ドミトリーに宿泊しました。 全体的に温かみがあって居心地が良かったです。トコジラミなどは見当たりませんでした。 立地がとても良く、徒歩で主要な中心街の観光は殆ど可能です。 最寄りのソルナイネン駅は政府から治安に関する勧告が出ているため、特に女性は夜間外出は控えた方が良いかも知れません。今は夏で日照時間が長いため、私は特に気にしませんでした。 チェックインもスムーズで、時間外の方への対応も分かりやすいと思います。 キッチンは時間により混み合いますが、使いやすいです。 調味料などはありますが、どれがホステルのものなのかが分かりにくかったです。バスタオルやアメニティなどはありません。ドライヤーはあります。 スタッフの方が親切なのと、女性用の部屋のセキュリティもきちんとしており、また利用したいと思っております。

Never been to other places in Finland. There is no comparison, so I can't judge, I can only say that this shop is the cheapest shop I can find that can walk to the train station. Dorm room is not bad. The toilet and shower are too tight. I only stayed one night, so it was OK. If you want to stay here for a long time in Helsinki, it won't feel too comfortable. But it is too expensive to book a hotel or bed and breakfast in Finland. So my fellow citizens, don't come to Northern Europe if you have no budget. The staff here is very nice btw. It's not cold, very enthusiastic.

Senate Hotel, although basic, is situated well for local attractions - 10 minutes walk from the shops/ restaurants/nightlife of Helsinki city centre; 15 minutes walk from the harbour, if you arrive by ferry; and right next to Senate Square/Helsinki Cathedral. The hotel, itself, is based in an apartment building, on the fifth floor, and has ten rooms. There's a five-hour window, in which there's a receptionist to meet you (3-8pm). Outside of this time, you are given a code to enter the main door of the building, and then the front door of the hotel section, which I had to do. As it turned out, a friendly staff member was still there when I arrived, and I was fortunate enough to be given a free room upgrade. The double room I was given, was larger than average, and included a wash basin and small refrigerator. The bathroom and toilets are shared, but clean with a good, strong shower, and separate men's and women's toilets. There's also a small shared kitchen, so you could prepare food. My hotel room had a comfy bed, and good thick enough curtains which, if you're here in the height of Summer, means you won't be woken by the sunrise before 4am! The decor is a bit dated, but if you need info on what to do, where to go, and what's happening in Helsinki, there's lots of information. This is more of a short-stay hotel - a few days, at most, but if you need a well-located, warm, simple place to base yourself while in the city, this is actually a good choice.

The distance is very close. There is no self-service check-in. The environment is not bad. There are shared bathrooms, laundry rooms, and kitchens. You need to bring your own ingredients. The price is high and it is only about 1.5 kilometers away from Vantaa Airport. It is very cost-effective for those who want to travel for a short time or transfer. It's like living in a semi-forest! The heater is not very warm and the temperature is a bit low. I don’t know if the cold spot will be higher!

It may be a problem of cultural differences. There are currently no hair dryers inside. Asian girls please pay attention😇 The location is a bit like on the second floor. The taxi cannot be delivered directly to the door. It is quite troublesome. I found the way to get upstairs from the parking lot by myself, but I took a lot of detours before I found it. The luggage was heavy and it was tiring to walk up the big slope opposite🤣 It was also tiring to walk upstairs from the parking lot. Finally, I found the inconspicuous, dirty and smelly elevator, but it was not in the hotel, but in the space of the entire community🥺 The hostel cannot be blamed, but it is completely invisible from these introductions. It happened to be in June, and it was always daytime. The sun did not set until 10 o'clock. Their curtains did not block the sun very well. This must be pointed out🥹 Specially leave a message to other interested guests to explain that the price is affordable. If you can accept these, of course it is still highly recommended. The interior is very clean, and the customer service replies to messages through WA very quickly🙏
