Nordic calm behind brick walls

Home Hotel Katajanokka trades the expected Helsinki stay for character-rich corridors, iron railings, and thick red brick that feel dramatic yet comfortably modern. Former jail cells now read as warm retreats with pinstriped carpets, sleek leather sofas, and mustard accents that soften the history into style.

  • Courtyard energy

    The old prison yard becomes a lively terrace scene, often paired with live music.

  • Signature dining

    Linnankellari serves Finno-Scandinavian plates from local, organic ingredients.

  • Sauna reset

    A complimentary weekend morning sauna ritual adds a distinctly Finnish start.

What an amazing place to stay. A unique setting (being a converted prison) and close by to everything you need. It’s literally 5 minutes to the ferry to Estonia. Slightly longer than that and you’ve walked to the Ferris wheel, outdoor market, etc. The staff were amazingly helpful. They were informative, friendly, warm and welcoming. I loved my stay. 100% would stay again.

Very different hotel, being an ex-prison. They've done a great job of retaining the character without being austere. Convenient for the number 4 tram and a nice location (town centre is easily walkable). Fully recommend this one, especially as breakfast and dinner included

Great hotel to stay when visiting Helsinki. Tram 4 stops directly outside the hotel so getting around the city is really easy. Hotel staff were plesent and the hotel is quite quirky as it was an old prison. Rooms very good standard and of a fair size for a stay. Great choise for breakfast and if you want to use it evening meal untill 2000 included. Soup and 1choise of main but plenty of other items to choose from. Overall an excellent hotel and we really enjoyed our stay
