Trip Type: Business Review 3 of 9Very modern and convenient
Very comfortable room, with a well thought-out room arrangement and charming little details. Breakfast was copious. Easy walking distance to Kamppi shopping center and trams; reasonable walking distance to Mannerheimintie.

Trip Type: Overnight Stay Review 4 of 9Never been treated so nice at a hotel (for such a bargain!)
Beautiful, modern hotel with extremely friendly, helpful staff. Rooms are modern, neat, comfy and the large silk screen image hanging over the bed is a very unique touch. Breakfast is wonderful (not to mention included in your booking price, no extra fees) and there is plenty to go around. You are only one or two streets away from three major shopping centers (Kamppi, Stockmans and the Forum) not to mention the movie theater is right across the street. The train/bus station is two streets away. I travel to Finland often and this will be my new home from now on.

Trip Type: Family Review 5 of 9Excellent Modern Hotel
We really enjoyed our stay at the Helka in Helsinki. The rooms were large compared to similar rooms in Stockholm and Copenhagen, and the heated floor in the bathroom was the best! The included breakfast buffet was also one of the best for the price in Scandinavia.

Trip Type: Family Review 7 of 9Good value near city center
Helka is a recently renovated facility in an old building within a few blocks of the train station. The room was clean and staff very helpful. Included breakfast was very good and they prepared a box version for us the day of departure as we were leaving very early. The room had one oddity worth noting: as shown in the picture on this site, it has a "mural" on a cloth stretched on the ceiling above the bed. Nothing kinky, but unusual.

Trip Type: Overnight Stay Review 9 of 9So very helpful, yet tiny...
The hotel was extremely clean, fairly located, had an awesomely multilingual staff... But the room was excedingly tiny. I had the single twin sized room. And literally, it was just enough room to lay my head for the night (which was really all I needed since I had an eary flight out of the country the next morning, yet didn't check in till almost 7pm). In fact, the suitcase I had with me barely fit through the hall/walk way from the door to the sleeping area and the bathroom was extremely small and basic. However, it was a beautifully decorated room. The bed, although a twin, was the most comfortable bed I think I have slept in in quite some time... And definately the most comfortable bed I slept in during my entire stay in Finland. In fact, I almost wished I could bring it home with me. The staff was so much more helpfull than any other hotel I have ever stayed in. When I arrived the associate at the desk informed me of the various cab options since I was going to be flying out the next morning. When I informed him of the time I would be needing a cab, he noticed that I would be missing the included complimentary breakfast and took it upon himself to pack me a breakfast to take with me to the airport... On top of booking another cab for me when he learned the hotel's contracted cab company would not opperate as early as I needed. This hotel, although small in keeping with Finnish culture and based on basic needs and modern Finnish design, definitely goes above and beyond for its customers and I would recomend them everyday and twice on sunday for anyone.
