Best Hotel in Helsinki

Hotel is top notch, the smart system is amazing to control the room amenities, the staff were so friendly and helpful, Linda in particular was restless in making our stay memorable in Helsinki, the only things I would complain about are limited choices of in room dining and the Resturant, breakfast buffet verity and the spa limitation e.g. booking for specific time because it doesn’t fit large number of guests , and the fact that it’s additional price for the stay, although I understand the reason behind the extra price it’s best to enlarge the spa so that everyone can enjoy whenever they want, other than that hotel is 5 star + , thanks for having us

Excellent place to stay.

Hotel Maria was amazing. The beds were perfect and it was dead silent at night, so we slept perfectly after a red eye flight. The service was fantastic. Love how you can control everything from a tablet they provide. The minibar was also great and not insanely priced (all alcohol in Finland is expensive). The restaurant was excellent. And the cocktails we had at the bar were amazing. Maybe the best Old Fashioned I've ever had. The gym was great. Had it to myself 2 days in a row. We had 2 tiny issues. Our shower drain was clogged when we arrived. They fixed it right away while we had dinner. We were told breakfast ends at 11. We missed the first breakfast because we were so jet lagged. The next day (Monday) we went down at 10:05 and were told breakfast ended at 10. For some reason breakfast ends early on weekdays. I don't understand since people on vacation probably aren't paying attention to the day of the week. At least I don't.

Wonderful but a bit complicated

Service was fantastic. But everything was a bit complicated, the room was located in another building abc you had to walk through this cellar corridor to the other building. Spa was full even though the hotel was like half full, I guess that people come from the outside.

Ok stay, breakfast was dissapointing

The stay was ok for us. The hotel and rooms were beautiful and spa (and service there) was super nice. However, it would've been nice to know before the stay that spa will always need to be booked and nost times were gone once we arrived. The breakfast was a mess. The space for buffet was too small and crowded and we came at 10 and still most thing were already gone. The service quality was also off because we ordered coffee once we arrived but had to wai 30min for black coffee. Same thing happened with the egg order and we never even saw the a la carte menu for breakfast
