Scandic Helsinki Grand Marina

Needs Improvement.

The location was great but the service was that of a 2 star. Not great service. Not too many amenities.

Outstanding hotel

This was an excellent hotel which I can recommend wholeheartedly. Excellent location, extremely clean and well maintained. The staff were professional, personable, friendly, and helpful. The breakfast was incredible! The booking price was quite a bit cheaper through hotels.com than what we had to pay to book an additional day when we ended up staying an extra day.

Scandic Grand Marina

The Grand Marina is in a great location, just a few minutes walk to Tram #4 and an easy scenic walk to the city center. The staff was cordial and helpful. I would definitely stay there again.

Scandic Grand Marina

The Scandic Grand Marina was perfect for our family vacation. The rooms were great and we walked to the hotel from our ferry ride from Stockholm. The tram #4 is a block away to get you to the city center in 3 minutes or a pleasant 10 minutes walk will do the trck as well.

Pretty good experience

I found my stay at the Grand Marina to be a decent experience. The hotel lobby and exterior are quite nice, though the rooms are a bit under-whelming. Our room had a very large pillar blocking the only window. The bathroom finishings were a bit dated and a bit cheap. Overall, though, the hotel is reasonably nice and very clean. Given that room rates are quite low, I could recommend a stay at this conveniently located hotel, which is very close to the largest open air market and main shopping and dining area of Helsinki.

Nice hotel, good value

Hotel is clean with freindly English speaking staff. Rooms was clean but warm and no in-room A/C but outside temps were 32C and warmer. They did provide a fan. Easy walk to the harbor and other attractions. Restaurant in the hotel was acceptable with a big breakfast included. I would stay there again when in Helsinki.

Not bad at all!

Location was a little out of down town, but not too far. Definitely walkable, which is something you might want to do to keep your blood moving in -12 temperatures. Great value for the money and and very friendly staff. No complaints.

Great for the price ... !

If you want the feel of a luxury hotel but don't want to pay for it, the Grand Marina may be what you are looking for. It has most of the creature comforts of a Marriott or Hilton, including a trendy bar/restaurant, decent (but not great) gym, sauna, etc. Everything was very clean and staff was always helpful. I had the 'economy' room, which was a bit smaller than most people expect if you are used to American hotels. But all in all, a good value for the money.

Good location

The hotel was located in a perfect area to walk around and take in the surroundings. Not far from the center of Helsinki and right next to a grocery store and the ferries. Great for people who like to explore and walk around without feeling isolated.

decent hotel

decent hotel

OK

If you are looking for a hotel that is in the center of Helsinki, this is not the one. It seems that everything is situated around the train Terminal and the hotel is a bit of a walking distance from there, it will cost you around 10 Euro to get to the hotel from the train station. There are couple of good club (Helsinki Club and Onnela) but once again they are around the train station. However, this is a really good business hotel!!! as the convention center is right across the street.

Nice room for the money

Practical, not so far from city center, but too close to the ferry terminal. Room located on the last floor : too much noise of wind during the night.
