Scandic Simonkenttä

8/10 Good

"Clean, quiet, great breakfast. Conveniently located attached to a mall and many options of dining and things to do within walking distance. The only uber I took during this stay was from the airport"

NH Collection Helsinki Grand Hansa

10/10 Excellent

"Easily one of the best breakfasts I've ever experienced at a hotel - lots of choice, including vegetarian and vegan options (spicy chickpeas and the wee yoghurt berry pots in particular). Room - fabulous shower, robes and slippers are a nice touch but seemingly aimed at the smaller sized guest. Air con is great and quiet enough for an insomniac. Our room faced onto the main road, and while you could hear the trams rumbling past (and one football parade) it didn't affect our enjoyment or more importantly our sleep. The TV is the same size as one you'll find in a good Singaporean hotel; some local channels, one German, one French and bizarrely some British telly too. One of the channels is essentially a lite version of HBO Max."

Original Sokos Hotel Vaakuna Helsinki

10/10 Excellent

"A nice hotel. Bit dated, but they are renovating the property. Rooms are fine. Bathroom could be bigger and at least designed differently so that your bath mat doesn't get soaked when you take a shower. Other than that there's nothing to complain about. Its a very central location, the staff are very helpful, the breakfast is very good and varied, the hotel is well maintained. I would come again."
