I stayed a week on business and although I asked for a room on the inner courtyard I was initially given a room overlooking the street. I then paid extra for a superior room on the courtyard but was continually disturbed by clonking noises, I think from the lift mechnisms, although the entrance to the lift was a way away.... More

The shower in this hotel was treacherous - situated in a very narrow, slippery bath, with no non-slip mat. Just stepping in and out of the shower was dangerous! Bed was okay, but pillows were awful - possibly filled with crumbed foam rubber - 1950s stuff. The breakfast room is currently in a very bad state - goodness knows what's... More

I keep coming back to good old (80 years) Sokos Hotel Helsinki every once in a while, and always, I am reminded of the fact that I should come more often. It is not as big and flashy as the chains big guns, Vaakuna and Presidentti in downtown Helsinki, but offers great value. + peace and quiet, even if you... More

The hotel was OK - getting to our room was quite a hike and it was very small for 3 people, even thiugh it was advertised as a family room. The breakfast was quite nice the next morning and the staff was very helpful.

Good location in the city center. If you're in town to shop definately a good choice of location. The room I stayed in was rather big however a bit gloomy. Only a small window to Kluuvikatu. It's an old hotel but has been quite recently renovated so it's quite clean. I stayed here in the middle of the week and... More

This is the hotel where I have been staying lately when I'm travelling to Helsinki. I normally take the basic room and they are usually the same: clean, big enough for one person, a little bit cold for me and sometimes noisy if you are at 5th floor and in the inner side. There is some kind of air ventilation... More

Very good location - close to the train station and to the shopping street. Our room was a corner room on the second floor, quite a spacious one, nicely furnished. The windows faced the street and the bright neon signs of the shopping mall across the road, but the heavy curtains helped to block the light for the most part.... More

a 3* hotel. Pretty old and with shopping mall windows right 10 meters away from your room window - thus no privacy. It was chilly in the room with no option to heat it up. Hard to find a free table during the breakfast. As positive - location it excellent though there are a lot of hotels around this area.... More

In the heart of Helsinki - perfect location! There are two or three reataurants as well. I recommend to book a superior room with better amenities and you get yourself to the 7th floor. The single rooms are not that nice - they are small and missing the coffee maker / tea boiler etc.

We were booked into this hotel by our agency for a short stay while traveling back from Lapland to the UK. It looked good on the website and so it proved. We had an 8th Floor room with a view across the rooftops to the Lutheran Cathedral. Couldn't be more central between the railway station and parliament Sq and just... More
