Bad coffee and no fresh milk. Ei kahvimaitoa.
Very bad coffee with No Fresh Milk. Amazing! Only small single services milk tetras. The quality or coffee and lack of fresh milk cannot be for given. That is the key element of any hotel breakfast. Also, some elderly lady wanted to ask something from the restaurant servers, who did not spoke Finnish. Again not acceptable when considering elder people cannot speak english, basically meaning there was No Service for them.

Hey! Thank you for your feedback! We really value it! We are trying to think the nature we are surrounded by and we have no products, such as plastic give-away toothbrushes or toothpastes in our rooms. However, they can be purchased from our Shop and what's the most important, they are eco-friendly! Our room rates are dynamic and change according to availability - during the high-season the rooms might be more expensive in comparison with the low-season. Kind regards, Miro/ Reception

Hi! Thank you so much for your valuable feedback related to your stay with us. Our goal is to create great hotel experiences for our guests. I am sorry that you were not as satisfied as you could have been. There's a main swift in the room and in order to get the electricity, the key card have to be inserted to the switch. The standard temperature of the rooms is around 21 degrees. I have made a note and our service team will check the AC of the room. If your future travels brings you back to Helsinki, we hope to see you here again! Kind regards, Miro/ Reception

Great for business stops
Great location for my job. Convenience in the hotel--USB chargers next to every outlet, so no need for adapters. Hotel staff is extremely friendly and always helped me get a cab. There is no printer in their business center, but the reception staff told me to email the documents to him and he would print them. He did so, and delivered them to my room. But, this is of note if you will need to print a lot. I'm heading back and will stay again.

Usual Scandic quality
I booked this hotel as it was walking distance to where I was working. Check in was fine - the staff are friendly and all speak perfect English. The room wasn't huge but then it was just the basic one, perfectly adequate though and very clean. All amenities worked as they should, the Bistro food was excellent and it's just a short tram ride into the city if you want to go there. Highly recommended.

Great option for business
The hotel was clean and comfortable with helpful, welcoming staff. The breakfast was great with a wide variety of options including free-from, the fruit selection was particularly welcome. The location was very handy for the exhibition centre and there is a supermarket next door for any snacks/drinks needed. My only small negative is there is no kettle provided in the room but this was only a small point compared to the general impression of the hotel.

We were otherwise pleased, but it was a bit cheap that there was a charge for the other occupant of the room even though breakfast was not included. This is not what we are used to outside Finland.

Dear Guest, Thank you for the review of our hotel! We have different room rates for one or two persons staying in the room. Unfortunately we have to charge the extra person if the reservation is originally made for one. It's great to hear that you stay went well otherwise and you are very welcome again!

Great stay, good location for us
The reception staff were great! Helped us get what we wanted for the room. Were helpful with directions. We enjoyed the location because we like to walk and it was a pleasant walk to the city center. Much nicer than staying in a hotel in the center. Thank you for making our visit to Helsinki pleasant.

Nice hotel, close to tram and bus stops.
Relatively large hotel, in a quiet part of Helsinki, close to 2 tram lines, bus lines; easy to reach city center. Breakfast is not worth the 18 Euro if the price is not included in your room rate. Reception area rather small and no pleasant place to enjoy a drink.

yummy frozen yogurt
Staffs at reception and breakfast hall were friendly and very helpful for me. I loved a fat free frozen yogurt from the self serving machine at breakfast buffet. There are plenty of free electric outlets in the room, more than 10 plugs all over the room & a couple of usb rechargeble ports at the bedside.

business stay.
Business stay, no iron in the room but a room on the second floor with 1 iron and 1 table in it. So plan in advance if you need to iron your shirt before going to work... Gym is very basic, but at least there's one! Did not try the sauna, but apparently very good. Staff is very welcoming and friendly. oh, and I forgot a designer shirt in the room cupboard...but the cleaners did not find any shirt and they check cupboards...hummm.
