"My room like the hotel, it's location, the services provided, the welcoming and helpful staff day and night and costs including the provision of breakfast in the hotel's magnificent dining room with so many sympathetic guests from so many nations was beyond praise and enhanced my first visit to Helsinki as a British traveller. I intend to book return to your hotel for subsequent visits and recommend
your hotel to anyone wishing to visit Finland. With heartfelt thanks from Somerset in England where King Arthur is celebrated as a legendary King with all best wishes, yours Mark Turpin"
"I really enjoyed staying at this hotel because it is very convenient for sightseeing.
It made me happy, as one of the main reasons I visited Helsinki was to explore the city, and the location was perfect for that.
In addition, the hotel has a unique design, and I heard that it used to be an office building for a train company.
The hotel is well organized and well maintained, and I was very satisfied with my stay."
"Everything was amazing. The room was beautiful and had everything I needed. There’s cafes, a liquor store, and a grocery store within 2 minutes walk. I want to live here! "
"I had an excellent stay at the Hobo Hotel in Helsinki. The rooms are surprisingly spacious, giving you plenty of room to spread out and settle in — a rare treat for a city‑center hotel. Everything was spotless from the moment I walked in, and the cleanliness stayed consistent throughout my stay.
The staff deserves a special shout‑out. Every interaction, from check‑in to passing them in the halls during the day, was warm, positive, and genuinely welcoming. They set the tone for a great experience.
Make sure you carve out time to enjoy the Hobo Bar in the lobby. The atmosphere is lively without being overwhelming, and the food and drinks were truly stellar — far better than your typical hotel bar offerings.
Another bonus: the hotel sits right across from the iconic Fazer Café. Trust me, you’ll find yourself wandering over more than once for pastries, coffee, or a quick treat.
Overall, Hobo Hotel delivers comfort, style, and great hospitality in the heart of Helsinki. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the city."
"The room was clean and spacious, the staff were so helpful and nice.
The breakfast was lovely, as was the dinner we had one evening.
The only drawback for us was that the bar was close the whole time we were there."
