Wonderful central Helsinki hotel
Very short 1 night stay at the end of our extended Helsinki trip. Over the years having stayed in multiple hotels, this is hands down the best we have stayed in. Our room was massive with a extremely beautiful sauna. Very clean well decorated and even when leaving early for the airport they put together a breakfast bag and tea for our trip to the airport. Recommend this hotel this hotel to anybody wanting something a little more spacious with great service from the friendly staff.

Everything as required!
The Hotel Helka was very central, clean and had a simple but good breakfast. Perfect for me! Thenonly thing that people need to be aware of is that the shower has the capability to flood the bathroom. Make sure that the was to the sink in the middle of the room is there.

Clean room and excellent breakfast
Checking in and out was fast & easy. The staff are friendly. Our favorite was the breakfast buffet. It has a variety of options and even a chance to make your own waffle. They have fresh fruits and frozen berries on the porridge table which provides healthier option. The only thing that we weren't that happy about was that the room was different than what we saw in the picture. As we travel with a toddler, space is so important factor and we pay attention to details like how big the room is and how it's furnished. We got some explanation that all rooms aren't identical to the picture which isn't so convincing but any ways it was only one night so it was okay.

The smell in the bathroom was unpleasant and I wish there was a fridge in the room. But other than that , it was perfect. Thank you so much.

Tosi rauhallinen huone
Valitsimme hotellin, kun olimme menossa Hesan matkalla krematorioon hautajaisiin ja Laulu-Miehiin muistotilaisuuteen. Hotelli on meille erinomainen ja tulemme palaamaan seuraavalla matkalla sinne. Vaikka oli viikonloppu ja ilta, hotelli oli kuin vasta siivottu. Myös huone oli kutsuva, äsken remontoitu? Mikään ei häirinnyt yöunta. Kylppärin varustuksesta löytyi kaikki tarvittava, jopa vanupuikkoja ja kynsiviila! Ehkä hiukan lihavampi hotellin esittely olisi kiva. Samaan voisi liittää TV:n kanavaluettelon.
