Short walk to the Number 4 Tram, and pretty much most of the tram and bus networks. Also, a short walk to Esplanadi in Helsinki centre city, and the open air market. There are also stores nearby with good food and everyday necessities.

Great hotel in central Helsinki. Finding parking can be very tricky so be warned if you come by car. Short walk to all sights and shopping. Do try the open air pools and sauna nearby!

The Scandic Grand Marina was perfectly located, with parking opposite, on the harbour front near the Presidential Palace. The room was ideal, clean and well furnished. The staff were excellent: polite, helpful and accommodating. We would highly recommend this hotel, and we shall return again.

We had to go across the road to another building for breakfast due to renovations. It was snowing. It wasn’t ideal but it was okay. Breakfast was lovely when we got there. It was a large conference room so was cold.
