Great location and staff
Stayed in executive room. Very comfortable. Staff on Reception staff lovely , very friendly and helpful. Excellent English. Room service too limited time available and restaurant expensive. Lots of cafes and good restaurants nearby. Internet free but very slow ! Sauna clean and small . No one there so good to relax . The bus and boat tours a must. Ask the staff. Hotel beside bus station ( bus to airport few steps away and cheap ) and rail station.

Short walk from hotel
Leonardo's restaurant and Molly Malone's Pub , just a short walk . Market Square also a nice walk . Royal cruise is good from there. Take tram 3 T in a circle, stay on and it returns as 3B .

Finnish Fun
Good location, helpful staff, good breakfast, modern rooms, but on a very hot day our room's air conditioner did not do the job, so they gave us a fan. Easy bus route to/from the airport via a Finnair shuttle for 6.3 euros. Business center with internet access.

Great location if traveling by
Great location if traveling by train and taking a bus to the airport. Otherwise, facilities were adequate, and price quite reasonable for a hotel of this class.

Great stay!
Great stay- nicer building than what you would expect from a Holiday Inn- very nice architecture. Clean rooms with everything you would expect. Very good breakfast. Central location with great access to the airport. But takes off 50 meters from the front door for 5 euros.

Great central location
Hotel was in great central position, all means of transport readily available, only downside was that my reservation for a room with 2 single beds was not allocated and had to have a different room because hotel was full, but as this was an upgrade it was acceptable

Short walk from hotel
Use local supermarket not far from bus station for soft drinks and snacks, far cheaper than shops near all the tourist attractions.

We stayed for a night and wanted
We stayed for a night and wanted to be near to the Central Railway Station and this hotel is ideal as it is right next to it. The Airport bus sent us directly to this hotel too. There is a suana from 6pm to 8pm and the Internet WiFi at hotel lobby and Business Center is free. We got double bed room to squeeze 2 adults and 2 child and the bed was hard but comfortable. Our room overlooking the railway lines and the noise level was low. So we had a good night sleep. Shower was a standing shower with strong water flow. The WiFi did not work in the room so we have to go to lobby but it was free so its ok for us. Our package did not include breakfast so we ate at the McDonald which is 100m away. The hotel is accessable to all the shopping areas in the city, very convenient indeed. Overall it has met our satisfaction for price, comfort and convenient.

This a very good hotel with friendly
This a very good hotel with friendly and helpful staff. The breakfast buffet offered a remarkably wide selection from which to choose. The hotel is adjacent to the main train station, giving access to the city sights and transport to the airport and to other cities. In summary, an excellent place to stay in Helsinki.

Short walk from hotel
If you are going to travel through Finland, Sweden, Norway and or Denmark, you can find a lot of great things with great designs in Helsinki as in the other countries, but in Helsinki they are less expensive.
