Just don't arrive early as the door code to let you in WILL NOT work until the official check in time supplied. All in all an excellent stay. Everything was within 30 mins walking distance."

Top Etelainen District Hotel Reviews

Scandic Grand Central Helsinki

8/10 Good

"Great location, right next to the main train station and a large bus depot. The trams are about a block away as well. Plenty of food choices nearby. It is a very large Hotel and is a square with a courtyard in the middle. It's easier to go from one end to the other through the courtyard then around the corridors. I tried the rather expensive buffet breakfast one day and it wasn't very good. I don't know why hotels think that scrambled eggs should be able to be eaten through a straw. The bed was comfortable in the bathroom was clean and well maintained. The curtains were a bit torn and there is very little space for clothing storage. The only place to put something was on a Shelf that was more than 6 ft off the ground and only about 3 ft wide. There were some hangers underneath that shelf but all in all there wasn't enough space."
