Relaxing vacation
I was very impressed with the hotel. Our request for a queensize bed could not be honoured but they did accomodate us the first night in a suite at no extra cost. The following day we moved into a room with a double bed. Thee suite was lovely but right across from the hotel was a disco and having arrived after midnight and a long flight it was a little noisy but it was ok. The staff was very accomodating. Would recommend the Simonkentta to anyone. Centrally located and with the weather in Finland the convience of being able to go shopping without really going outside is a plus. Rooms were very clean and modernly decorated. It even has a small refrigerator .

Good Central Location
The hotel is just two blocks from the Central Railroad Station and the Metro Station is just across the back courtyard. The front desk staff was very helpful. I asked them several questions about transportation and they gave me timetables, maps and good information. The breakfast was great. Lots of typical European choices. The room was spacious and very clean. The traffic noise was pretty loud with the window open, but closed it was very quiet in the room. Helsinki is a very walkable city and everything we wanted to see was within a 20 minute walk from the hotel.

Short walk from hotel
Take the ferry in Market Square to Suommelina Island. It is only 4euro per person and the island is so beautiful.

Great Location
The location was perfect for us. Close to shopping and within walking distance to the market by the docks. Very good restaurants nearby. Since we were taking a bus to our next destation the hotel was perfect because it is located above the main long distant bus depot. There is also a shopping mall below the hotel.

Clean, efficient
Reception staff very friendly, helpful and efficient - service with a smile! Rooms were ok, very clean, comfortable beds. Pillows were very lumpy and need to be replaced - felt like generations of guests had already slept on these. Bathroom had only one set of towels available although we found a second set stuffed in the wardrobe. Many international TV channels (Italian, BBC, German, French) but missing CNN (at least couldn't find it). Breakfast included, wide variety of items, including eggs, sausages, meatballs, fish... All in all good, above-average experience but not outstanding. Would stay there again.

This was a very nice hotel. The staff was very friendly and seemed to really want to please their visitors. If something was ask for the staff made it happen quickly. The morning breakfast bar was tremendous and something to look forward to daily.

Time-saving tip:
Not Applicable
Use the 3T Tram as it passes all the normal toursit areas and loops the entire City Center area in about an hour. The best part is that it only cost 2.5 euros.
