      "Convenient and nice" Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 3, 2013

      This hotel was easy, safe, and convenient to the airport. Only comment is that the shuttle drivers are quite brisk so if you have a family and a lot of luggage this can be a surprising challenge. As a family of four we ended up taking a cab because the shuttle drivers were quite onerous and didn't want to wait or assist my family in getting aboard.

      The room was very nice and not small at all. The staff were very helpful and were speaking English very well. The breakfast was excellent. The location is close to the railway very close to Helsinki City Center. There is a good mall next to the hotel too. I will definitely stay there again.

      "very nice rooms" Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Nov 22, 2012

      Beautiful property - I stayed at the"B" building on the East penninsula - across from the Viking Lines port. If you are going to/from City Center, take the 4 tram - about a 5 minute ride, 1.5 euros only. The room is a huge apartment with forier, living room, bedroom, bath & fully stocked kitchen. Around the corner is a market so you can buy groceries and make your own meals. Facing the port & around the corner, be sure to have a coffee and pastry at the Italian coffee shop - the owner is entertaining and the coffee is best in town. BE SURE TO GET YOUR ROOM CODE before you depart; if you have a Fin cellular phone, no problem. If you do not, call for your code before you arrive in Helsinki - I was standing outside the property late at night trying to find a way in - I finally had to walk to a bar and use their internet to make a Skype call.

    generally very good. close to a Temppeliaukion Kirkko (stone church), Kiasma art gallery, and Kampin Kappeli (chapel of silence). A little way from the... main city centre restaurants and bars, but very close to a Metro stop. The hotel itself is clean and comfortable (if a little dated in terms of décor). The Sauna isn't particularly effective, but still very welcome after a days walking around. by a Hotels.com guest on 04/13/13

    Perfect location if you are attending a conference at Aalto University or the Hanken School of Economics. Within walking distance of the center of Helsinki and the train station to catch the Finnair bus to the airport (only 6.20 Euro!). I stayed at the beginning and end of a trip, and had two very different rooms: one large and well-designed and the […] other small and cramped. Both were clean and relatively quiet. Breakfast was good (yes, the scrambled eggs are runny, but I found that all over Finland!) and dinner was fantastic, although not cheap. Read more

    My regular place in Helsinki is Torni hotel, but this time I was late with my booking, and need to find mother place with convenient downtown location. Helka appeared much better, than I expected. Location is great, very close to Kamppi shopping mall, Forum etc.. A lot of dining options around. In addition, hotel is very friendly even for high Helsinki […] standards. Read more

    Helka is close to everything at a reasonable price. Tram line 3B/3T is one block away and gets you everywhere. The morning breakfast was extensive and outstanding. The rooms are a little small, very European style, but they are clean and the showers are excellent. I would stay again. Avoid the Helsinki Card (way overpriced). Buy a day pass for the number […] of days you need and the transit system (metro, tram, bus) will move you through the city with ease. Loved Helsinki. Read more

    The hotel is located within easy walking distance of downtown Helsinki in a quieter area. It was awesome that we could just walk back for a quick break from sightseeing in the middle of the day if we wanted to. But the pros end there. The hotel itself was more like something that would receive a 1.5 star rating here in the US - dirty room/bathroom, […] cheap quality breakfast (artificial watery scrambled eggs and fruit from a can), uncomfortable beds, etc. The staff were very sweet, although housekeeping never bothered to replace the toiletries. Worst of all, our "double" bed was 2 separate lumpy twin beds that moved apart at the slightest touch, making any, ahem, intimacy impossible. Read more

    It's not every city in which a 3-star is a delightful, immaculate and nourishing stay, but Helka is that; Helsinki is that. Like a SoBe boutique hotel in Finland. At mid-summer, I noticed young Finnish couples staying there, and older (well-heeled) Finnish couples/groups eating in the excellent hotel restaurant, Helka's kitchen. Superb and gracious […] staff, nice design, a/c (yes, you need it in summer); fabulous breakfast buffet; complimentary sauna use, wifi, tv. As advertised, but nicely done. Quick walk to rail station, or 3T tram stops a block behind the hotel, one stop after Kamppi. Luxury for the budget-conscious. Read more

    We booked this hotel due to the really good price and the quick walk to the train station, which is also where the airport bus leaves. We had an early flight out on our last day and the bus was extremely convenient. The bus and hotel were actually the two most affordable things in Helsinki, an otherwise very expensive place. We loved the hotel location. […] It's very walkable to most anywhere in the central city: museums, sights, bars, restaurants, waterfront, and transit. It's located right on a great running and biking path, and they have four rental bikes in the lobby. The only slightly weird thing was that it was our honeymoon, and the double was actually two twin beds pushed together! But it was okay. We visited during design week and thought it was cute that the hotel was using the same bedside lamps that had won an award in the design museum. Overall we loved our stay. Read more

    The stench in the room was so bad that I had to get up in the middle of the night to check if there was a dead body under the bed, twice. How the hotel can let out a room in that condition is beyond comprehension. The whole place feels like an excellent place for a student party - cramped rooms, quite run down everywhere, marginally interested, un-groomed […] staff on a schoolbreak. Although conveniently located it is on the corner of major town centre throughfares and thus not particularly inspiring. The only good thing - they have very convenient beds. On a list of the most likely top 10 hotels I would return to in Helsinki - I would rate it at about 427.....i.e. never! Read more

    The room was very bright, with cool designer lamps. The WiFi was faster than expected. Very nice breakfast buffé. My bed was a bit on the soft side though.
