This is a wonderful hotel. My daughter and I stayed for a few days and loved the location, the style of the hotel and the delicious breakfast. The staff was kind and helpful and the rooms are comfortable and very clean. We also loved the guest sauna. It's a quick walk to lots of shops, transportation and restaurants, and not far from central station. We will stay here again.

Wonderful central Helsinki hotel
Very short 1 night stay at the end of our extended Helsinki trip. Over the years having stayed in multiple hotels, this is hands down the best we have stayed in. Our room was massive with a extremely beautiful sauna. Very clean well decorated and even when leaving early for the airport they put together a breakfast bag and tea for our trip to the airport. Recommend this hotel this hotel to anybody wanting something a little more spacious with great service from the friendly staff.

Unique decor inside the building. There was a small sauna in the room. Breakfast was especially good. They serve a lot of organic food and local product. Roll over bed was the only bad point. It was too soft.

Simply luxurious
Friendly and naturally stylish, hotel Helka made my family's stay in Helsinki. Best breakfast I've had in a hotel in a very long time. Being able to press a button to have a delicious oat flat white is a true luxury! Not being a fan of any form of waste, I appreciated the old building having been left to look it's age retaining it's rich history, which in turn gave a lovely backdrop for showing off some Finnish design (do visit different floors to appreciate this). We will be back!

ヘルシンキに泊まるのに、カンピまで徒歩5分程。トラム駅も5分弱と、立地は抜群。そして、アアルト好きにはたまらない内装♪施設自体は少し古さも見られますが、清潔に保たれてます。 スタッフの方はどなたも皆親切で、とても頼りになりました。朝食もフィンランド料理や定番の料理も揃い、とても満足でした。 フィンランドに行く時はまた必ず、ここに泊まりたいと思える、そんな素敵で頼もしい宿でした! 色々お世話になり、ありがとうございました! If you're staying in Helsinki, it's about a 5-minute walk from Kamppi. The tram station is also less than 5 minutes away, so the location is excellent. And the interior is irresistible for Aalto fans♪ The facility itself is a little old, but it is kept clean. All the staff were kind and very reliable. The breakfast was very satisfying, with a selection of Finnish and standard dishes. It was such a wonderful and reliable place to stay that I would definitely want to stay here again when I go to Finland! Thank you for all your help!
