Loved the look … other than the carpet looking a little worn a few places (to be expected in a hotel) it reminded me of the grand hotels of days gone by! The rooms were spacious and quiet, the breakfast was plentiful with lots of charming nooks to sit and eat. Convenient to the train station. I didn’t get to check out the spa/sauna areas.

The staff was wonderful and welcoming from the moment I set foot on the premises until my departure. I had all my needs and questions addressed quickly and easily. The breakfast buffet was divine, and the breadth of food and drink options was tremendous -- don't sleep in and miss it. The location couldn't be more perfect -- a few steps from the train station, surrounded by museums and shopping, with easy access to all the public transit options. If you're staying here, definitely get the Helsinki Card with the metro options. It'll totally be worth it for all you can see on foot and otherwise.

We had stayed another hotel in Helsinki before Scandic Grand Central, which is Origjnal Sokos Hotel Vaakuna Helsinki. We found that Origjnal Sokos Hotel Vaakuna Helsinkiwas much better, the service and the property itself are much better. When we checked in to Scandic Grand Central, we found that the room has high pitching noise, and we tried to call reception a few times and no one pick up, after around 5 times, someone pick up the phone and asked us to call back or come to reception later, cos they are so many people checking on. So we waited until late afternoon, we went down to reception and complained about the pitching noise, we’re even shown the video with the noise, the man don’t know what to do and asked another lady, but she was busy with other customer and kind of ignored it. So the man came up to our room and checked it, he can hear the noise and at the end he pressed the button on the air conditioning screen, the noise is gone. Because of this, he doesn’t want to change the room for us for all the hassle. But the noise came back another 2 days mornings which was so annoying! The price I paid was more than Origjnal Sokos Hotel Vaakuna Helsinki, if I would choose again, I won’t stay in this hotel!

Close proximity to central station yet it was quiet with a view into the central courtyard. Quaint period details and retained features from the history of the building were interesting to explore. Staff were helpful and pleasant. A lovely hotel. Right next to the metro and trams also. Lots of dining and shopping options nearby.

Very large hotel and quite a walk to room due to size and room location. Originally booked a queen bed room (2121) and it was on back corner of hotel and away from reception. Room was very tight and view overlooking side street. Very depressing so sought an upgrade that i was willing to pay for and moved to king bed with extra room (3040) which was excellent. Service from front desk was excellent and i was not made to feel bad for requesting the change. Strongly suggesting paying the extra if you can. First day of breakfast was ordinary with much of the food i.e. scrambled eggs empty excellent for slops, bacon was similar and sitting in water. Fruit selection (bruised watermelon pineapple) poor compared to other hotel stays on 3 week scandinavia trip. Day 2 service was better with everything refreshed and topped up. Location is good for getting around to shopping or restaurants.
